I can’t load the other pictures for some reason

You guys all kick ass thank you!! I took some more pictures today, what do you think? I’m still waiting on a microscope to get here in the mail

So let’s say a normal flower time is 80 days, and because I’m new and I suck at everything they need to go 100 days. What would be my risks or drawbacks other than time? by the way I have no care at all about time. If this run goes over by several months but still somehow produces quality… I...

I guess a good question to ask is what are the drawbacks of extending the flower time?

So my build out is at least partially usable and we are getting close to chopping the first run. This is our first time growing anything and we dove right off into the deep end. I feel like the next few weeks is the most critical and I figured I would ask for input… we’re running GMO in 1 gal...

just trying to make the lights as efficient as possible. You make a good point with your previous post about reprogramming

So I was super excited tonight because I split the output cable so that I could separate the positive and negative conductors and get a reading with my clamp meter... I took it out to the shop and plugged it in... low and behold no such reading. I couldn’t get the meter to pick anything up. Back...

Update: Meijiu seems to think it is a problem with the dimmer, but I don’t think that’s the case. I tested input at the driver and it is 246v. When I plugged into a 123v outlet this morning, no blinking and worked just fine. I still haven’t measured DC output yet because I don’t really want to...

Yeah they were on but it doesn’t matter... the dc testing I did was wrong. I will figure out a better way to test the output dc but I don’t want to cut a cord to access the individual conducted

Maybe I should have done that, I thought that adding the the two legs together gave you the +/- 240v

I hope not, I tried a second one and it did the exact same thing

First off... thank you all so much for the responses, I realize I am probably asking stupid questions but I will get eventually get it lol Any numbers from previous posts concerning output voltage are wrong. I am having a hard time coming up with a way to measure that accurately. So the only...

im assuming you are meaning each bar in the fixture but I’m still not sure how to know one way or the other.

yes and waiting for a response

yep and it worked great on 110v. The problem has to be something I just don’t understand about electrical/led drivers

yeah I didn’t ever think about that until I went to use the clamp and got weird readings. The only real thing I have to go on so far is 123v on each leg of the outlet

yes it measures both

I’m not saying you are wrong but I would like to understand this moving forward.

I am an idiot. I didn’t realize that clamp meters require measuring each conducted separately, now I need a line splitter?

It’s the same model driver but at least now o know it wasn’t an issue with the first driver. I’m trying to measure amps now.
