Drop That Sound

They say if you go over 12 volts into an L298n motor driver, to pull the jumper out and not use the 5v regulated output to power any controllers.. So yeah, that's probably the main problem.. :eyesmoke:


I'll have to start a new thread soon. All about cannabis and mad ultrasound experiments..

After unsoldering the transducers I had in wrong (and making a mess of the old part from the heat), I decided to reprint a whole new array design that is way more solid. Got it all done right this time 4 sure, all in phase with correct polarity.

I found a new wiring schematic that will allow me to use the step up converter I got and also push 30v into my arrays without affecting the rest of the circuits that need much lower voltages.. Got it all wired up and ready for testing, only to smoke both of my arduino nanos.. I forgot to change the power input wire from the 5v pin over to the “Vin” pin of the nano controller, which can actually accept the 12v I’m giving it.. I even heard a little pop on the first one I fried. Oops! There should be a warning on the guide I followed.. Ah well.

Looks like I gotta order a few more cheap nano boards now, so I can finally see it work, now that I swapped the wire to the right place anyway.

Glad you sorted the problem and have it close to working ,sad about the arduino nanos at least they are cheap.
Looking forward to seeing a suspended gnat

Ok pump is connected and its up and running :blsmoke:
Pretty happy with its performance so far it only took 40min for it to prime itself and set the ph View attachment 5428830View attachment 5428831
So that's PH+/- to the left, some nutes, then the water chiller/controller? I see strawberry yogurt too - but not asking about that :P

PPM looks good - I guess smallish girls are still smallish, right? .7 EC (roughly) I think (just what we measure) looks awesome well made the kit.

Yea small plants i will up the ppm a little down the track ,
Yogurt containers are full of branch trainers

Growee ph controller fitted and spiderfarmer humidifiers fitted to each tent aswell , happy days .

The Growee system makes growing a breeze and the spiderfarmers humidifier works well also , nice bit of kit . Only downfall of the spiderfarmer humidifier is the packaging it would be nice if it was stealth and not with the product plastered over box and web addresses etc ;)

Hiatus! I gave the magazine the finger after they censored me without any notice. They only seem to support people repeating their sponsors gospel and agenda.

It's a very one sided environment for beginners without better knowledge and it doesn't leave much room for development and keeping an open discussion.

I've been learning how to make BHO and DME extract while I'm not flowering any plants. It's fun with all the different formats, pros and cons with different extraction methods and ways to purge to get shatter, budder etc.

I'm still keeping some Bruce Banner alive, looking for a new place to move and grow. Still got concentrate to last me 4-5 months but time flies.

I have a lot of plans and new things coming up for the next grow and can't wait to start ip again!

I'll update my dead journal on here when I start up again. @NickHardy lurking in here to?

Cheers!

I look forward to you firing up the journal , yea Nick's floating around occasionally on here .
I dont miss the other place at all

Ok the start of this grow has been a bit of a balls up , all the clones nearly died managed to save 6 out of the 8 and my new dog pulled out and chewed the mother plant 4 times . Putting a stop to me taking more cuts :cool:
So i might be just running 3 in each tent this run .
I will be using @Phlizon LED Grow Light 1000w units but only at 480w max i like the coverage the bigger lights give , light bars up against the walls of the tent no need for supplemental lighting with these badboys :blsmoke:rn_image_picker_lib_temp_ee922cbc-413e-400d-91fb-71665c6a8b16.jpgrn_image_picker_lib_temp_ea52ed92-8113-470d-a2a2-11990be8297d.jpgScreenshot_20241011-112105_Growee.jpgScreenshot_20241011-112207_Growee.jpgScreenshot_20241011-112234_Growee.jpgScreenshot_20241011-112301_Growee.jpg
