What I'm saying is to make sure that the leg being switched by the timer is not the neutral wire. If you get those reversed, the circuit will always be live, and while the lamp will operate it can pose a shock hazard if you open it up and assume the circuit is open...

Yes, that should be fine. Just make sure that the timer cuts the line circuit with voltage, not the neutral wire.

Looking promising. I'd start to scope the trics to judge when to chop.

Agreed. At best, the led is equal to the hps in output.

Unless you plan on running another neutral wire, you need to keep the loads on each of those 120 legs equal.

Just grow fewer, larger plants. Easier to manage unless you are looking for quick turn-arounds.

I can tell you from many futile years trying to work with 5 gal buckets...just stop. Totes are MUCH more suitable for rdwc. Round buckets limit the drain size and root clogs will be a common occurrence. Totes have flat sides ideally suited for bulkhead fittings. Since I converted my 8-bucket...

I ran 5 pheno's of the Morning Dew last year. Those seemed to tend into two distinct structures and flower development. I really enjoyed the smell and taste of all of them, and they also made really nice extracts. https://photos.app.goo.gl/3Nfzg1TFKsE9ST2D9

Agreed. My odyssey with hydro has shown me that simple fact. Having pretty tight controls on the system is critical. Another option I have used that gave me almost the same yield as my hydro runs was a simple drain-to-waste with 3 gal. coco/perlite. That was as idiot-proof a system that I've...

I insulated the totes with bubble film. That prevents sweating on the outside of the totes. After the system reaches its set-point(66 in my case) and the system stabilizes, the chiller will operate about every 15 minutes for about 3 minutes. The chiller just monitors temps until it exceeds my...

My 1/4 hp chiller that runs my 4-17 gal tote rdwc system works with about 40 gallons total volume and I barely notice a difference on my power bill. Well worth the investment if you want to run hydro.

That's one of the things I like the most about your thread, having an insight into how much effort it takes to be a commercial level grow. I have spent some time pheno hunting, and it can be both tedious and rewarding. Guess it's just part of the journey. Folks like you keep encouraging me to...

Aside from a few frizzled pheno's, it looks like another exceptional run in progress

I'm pretty sure that any primate can relate...

Are you filtering your wash before you evaporate the ethanol?

The mag drive pumps I have are designed to work either way.

Question? Can you give me a description of the PVC clips you're using to attach the trellis to the trays?

How long before the knock-offs arrive???

Love that stuff for all of my training 'structures'. Like I said before, I use whatever works in that situation. C'mon, we can always use someone t lean on... https://photos.app.goo.gl/2amtusB3Rj75gBSS7

I built a simple frame for trellis netting stapled to furring strips and drywall screws to assemble. Using some method to support the colas(cage, netting, or yo-yo's) is what I've tried to incorporate into all of my grows. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YGEpGfbtV46iWtX57 Another suggestion for hydro...
