Nah, I think you misposted. "Prior to this bloom she was running 3800W of LED over the same 2 aeroponic trays that I use. Here are current progress pictures that I've been able to take of her grow:" The same units would of course be the same size which you claim is 2x4. Based on the price of...

Haha, nearly 4000watts over a 2x4 area? If that much power is needed when using LEDs then you may want to find a new business, or at least take the black plastic off your walls and use a proper lining like Mylar or something white.

The NEC would disagree with you since a GFCI is an acceptable substitute for a grounding conductor when replacing a 2 prong socket if you label it as a "No equipment ground". Of course it does not actually ground, it's not even run into the ground but it is very much related.

If both lines are on their own breaker then yes. Formula for amps is Watts/voltage. So in your case you'd say 2000/110 = 18amps, and that would be the load of your lights.

I was asking about GFCI simply because it's required by the NEC for garages. Wouldn't help load or anything like that but helps with grounding. As for the wiring, with the 110 that is there you could pull about 3500Watts if you installed one more 12-2 line, but if you had the money for the 12-3...

Does your garage have 20amp gfci circuits going to it? That would be able to handle the load up to about 2400watts, if not then a basic 20 amp (12-2) wire run to the grow area should be enough but wouldn't give to much room to expand. From there of course you can go on your own discretion, with...

No. The ballast is in place because simply put an HID bulb cannot take a direct current from a wall. So a 600watt Ballast pulls 600watts, and then sends that same 600watts onto the 600watt bulb.

Floros though are also covering a larger area, so of course at with say a Floro pulling 50 watts and a CFL pulling 50 Watts the CFL would be hotter as its concentrated. At the same time the lumens are more concentrated though.

So whats to stop your "partners" from also growing 60 plants and claiming that only 20 are theirs and the other 40 are for people with MJ cards also?

I keep getting order failed. Anyone else getting this?

Lollipopping is when you cut all the lower branches, only leaving a top section. Cutting a couple branches here and there is called trimming. To answer the question, its all a matter of opinion but personally I would cut them.

A Kilowatt hour is 1000Watts used in 60 minutes. As you'd be running 2 X 1000Watt systems you would be pulling 2khw for every 1 hour your running both lights. Thats why they say you'd be paying twice, not anything to do with the bulb being hardcore.

I believe in my neck of the woods (NC) they still go by the principle that 1 plant is 1 pound. Does not matter if its a 3 inch male or not. Which means your very quickly fucked.

Yes. The basic formula for figuring out the AMP load of any device your running is this; Watts/Voltage = Amps Some devices such as a water heater require you to do Watts/Voltage = Amps X 1.25 = Amp load. For a grow room though you the first formula will work fine. As 240 is larger then 120 it...

/\Actually a 240v has less resistance because of the voltage increase not dual wires. In almost every nation besides America a 240V line is a single Phase just as our 120Vs our. Your right though that the initial information given was wrong.

Power companies charge by the Kilowatt hour, not amps or ohms. A 600Watt ballast on a 240v line or a 120v line or a 220v or whatever v you want will all pull 600 watts. There is such a thing as voltage drop of course but thats about wire types, current, distance, ect. A 240V is safer and will...

You go off trichome color, not hair color. Also we have no idea how dense your nugs are so guessing weight would be pretty random but I'll say 20g dry and then when you actually dry it I'm sure you'll see I'm off.

Mg issue, or your burning your leafs. I'd guess the latter. (just both possibilities, not positives) Also some knew growth tends to just point up, reasons not fully known but most just attribute it to the plant trying to find the best angle.

It's LSA not LSD from morning glorys. Also that is just crazy. My local store has known for sure what people I was with were growing, but all they did was keep referring to everything as tomatoes and just try to sell us some fertilizers. Screw that shop though man, don't give money to people...

the term 420 originated at San Rafael High School, in 1971, among a group of about a dozen pot-smoking wiseacres who called themselves the Waldos, who are now pushing 50. The term was shorthand for the time of day the group would meet, at the campus statue of Louis Pasteur, to smoke pot. Intent...
