Berta

Northern Lights Auto

She was pulled out to give her a ” salt buildup flush “ and branch tie up ( weight droop ) . She is is in full stink mode .
Today she got a mild 1.0 EC “ flush “ with a gallon of light feed. Mostly maintenance time. More branches are drooping and need support so I’m gonna leave her out of tent for awhile today while I support branches and pluck old leaf.

Deep nose skanky stank on her … figure a good month left - give or take.
Ride her til wheels fall off.

This is why I’m sticking with Hempy runs over my usual soil grows ….

I couldn’t imagine her size if I put in a 5 gallon instead of her current 2 gallon bucket.
Even those coffee container plants are looking pretty damn good.

Here is “ neckbeard ” ( I cut those lower branches awhile back )
( Black Cherry Soda x Tangie )
She is getting a little prune today ….

She is under the QB225

So,I finally found out where the dimmer was... There's something wrong with the dimmer because when I turn it all the way up it flickers and dims... And when I turn it all the way down, it barely goes down... What gives???

Sounds like you're adjusting the wrong thing. You want to only adjust the Io, not the Vo.

There is only one, and it's on the bottom of the driver...

Looks like all you have access to is the Io, so I'm not sure. Contact the HLG guys. @pop22 is the newer rep around here.

Keep us updated. I'm curious.

Thats the same as mine. It only has 1 adjustment dial. Fucking shit design being on the bottom where you can't access it.
You can mount the driver upside down so it's accessible.

@pop22 I have a problem that I hope you can help me out with...

That is not your daily dimmer as such. Although can be, but a fragile plastic screw easily damaged and hard to access for a reason. Usually set and forget by the manufacturer, eg 200 watt... because it was designed for the 200 watt class,

Turned right up just before cut-out, you could get over 240 watts out of that 200 watt driver A slight 1mm turn anticlockwise though, you may be back at 120w.

Pretty sure the XLG H-A models like the one shown cant have an external dimmer. Base model.

But... by checking your 200w light/driver through a $15-$20 watt meter, at least you'd have an idea where you're at, otherwise you're flying blind. eg, 100w wall draw would be pretty close to 50% dimmed.

Every little movement of Mean Well adjustment screws makes big changes, would never adjust if not running through a Kill-A-Watt meter

A - Internal Dimmer
B - External Potentiometer.

But I'd let HLG handle this one.
