seh five plus five it equal to ten!

Thanks. I've been using EJ Microblast, Catalyst, Bloom, Grow and Meta-K in weekly small doses, along with small amounts of cal-mag. Didn't want to use a lot, since they are in pretty good compost mix. I know it wants a lot though, but I didn't want to over-fertilize. I was under the impression...

Hey all - I've done some research, and I _think_ I have my answer, but I want to run it by others and make sure I am not way off base. Got 3 different clones in the ground. Marked the days they showed flowers. It's my understanding the flowers show up in the second week of the flowering...

The Ruth Stout recommendation is great old school gardening advice. Older Organic Magazines and most references from Rodale are also a good source for info (They went really commercial in the 80s/90s, I'm talking about the ones from the 40s up to the 70s). Mother Earth News is also good. But my...

dude - your stuff is awesome. You should be proud to show that to people.

There's a range of difficulty, and like GrowerGoneWild says, it varies by your area. People in the South can grow Lima beans,. I'll never see one in the cool PNW. SW gardeners can grow wicked chiles, I'm stuck with a few trusty varieties of hot peppers. Some things I think are just tough...

A lot of organic diy recipes call for mild dish soap. Don't use any that have bleach or degreasers. You're shooting for a 1-2% or so mix, so only a few drops. If you're making your own spray, you can add a little bit of oil, to make it adhere longer, apple cider vinegar to deal with powdery...

Hi Getgrowingson - thanks for the reply, that's what I wanted to know. It's definitely wired in parallel, so I think it's the power supply that's dropping when any load gets put on it in that case. It's already only running at 6V, and fluctuates a even when not under load. I've got a much better...

Unlike most other manures, rabbit manure can be used immediately, no need to compost it. Rabbit manure tea is awesome for plants. You won't starve on rabbit (unless you eat nothing else), less fatty than chicken (795 kcal/lb vs 810) and nutritional adequate as a protein source. It's the lack of...

Okay, my multi meter is okay, the leads just don't hook up right and connect, I barrowed another pair of leads and took some readings. I think I know what's going on, but I only do limited home electrical projects, so I want to run it by someone who has more understanding of the principals to...

I've never done 220 wiring, so not sure. The nuts themselves are rated at 600V. They're only for pigtail splices and as far as I know (just someone who works on his own house projects, not an electrician), supposed to be inside boxes, not really exposed. And also, I'm pretty sure they're only...

Those are just common wire nuts, generally used in US house wiring, used to splice wires together. You strip the wires, wind them together and trim to about 1/2" then twist the nut on, the inside is threaded and keeps all the connections snug. It's generally used in boxes for 120V wiring, I'm...

Thanks robincc, I'd reached the same conclusion about that laptop power supply. I'll just go ahead and order one of those MW drivers, thanks for the info.

Okay, looks like I'd need to add a resistor to run that power supply to the fans, so I'll see if I can find a 12V one somewhere that's 1.5A or greater.

I dug up an old IBM T10 laptop power adapter - not sure if I can use this for 12V. It's rated at 16V 4.5A, is that viable to try?

Here is the junction box. The red and white lines from the Rhino (22g) go to the respective yellow nuts, where they are joined with two strands (16g, trailer wire, what I had around). Each of those go to a tan nut, where they are joined with three more strands that go out to the fans. Right now...

The fans are rated at .24A (240mA, Alpine 11 Plus) and the supply is 1500mA. So six fans should come in at 1440 mA, so should be capable enough. But I'm seeing problems with just two of them clipped in, much less all six. The fans seem okay if I run them singly. I don't think I have any spare DC...

I'm trying to complete my first COB light and I've run into a problem. I'm not sure if I've done something wrong, or if my understanding is flawed, or a part is not working right and hoping someone can provide some advice. I've split the original power into two lines, then each of those into...

I'm in the midst of my first DiY light, a scaled down, primitive version of the Battlestar Ganjatica. Since it's my first attempt, I didn't stress over getting top bin COBs. I ordered most of the components online - COBs, drivers, CPU coolers, DC power supply and COB holders. The aluminium for...
