    Question for Electrician, or a MacGuyver.

    Thanks Cozz. I'll do as you suggested. That's not me holding the fan, actually didn't notice the name tag in that pic, sometimes it's the most obvious things ya don't notice. I'll delete it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

    Question for Electrician, or a MacGuyver.

    My uncle cut this out of his attic. Said I could have it. Trouble is I've got no idea how to get this thing to fire. I've repaired some wires on phone chargers and small things, but this is a bit different. There's no on/off switch. I'm pretty sure it was meant to be installed and operated via...

    Rotating soil grow - anyone tried this?

    Well, I haven't committed to anything. Just brainstorming. I understand the electricity part, which was a concern. Bushiness was also a concern. I have a light mover, but it wouldn't be too useful with just 4 plants. I'm trying to maximize efficiency of 1200 watts over 4 plants. I have a...

    Rotating soil grow - anyone tried this?

    The light will be hanging down inbetween the plants, it will not be over top of them. Moving the lights wouldn't be possible. The plants would have to be the things moving. The image above is an overhead view. The circles represent cylinders I.E plant from top view, and a long cool tube hanging...

    Rotating soil grow - anyone tried this?

    Due to the laws in my area I don't want to go beyond 4 plants if I don't have to. I have been contemplating how to achieve maximum yield in this situation for a while. This is what I have come up with. I buy 4 rotating display turn tables. Fill my pots with plants and soil. Set them about their...

    Can anyone tell me the CFM on this industrial fan?

    I pulled two of these out of what used to be a solar panel in the roof of my house. All the info printed on the fan tells me is that the fan is 1400/1550RPM and 1.5HP. Anyone know anything about these?

    POWER BILL / ELECTRIC COMPANY - How not to become a suspect.

    I just purchased 2x 600Watt HPS for my grow. If these lights are used 12/12 for 30days that comes out to 432KWH of power usage. I realize this isn't a huge amount of power draw for a four bedroom house. The only thing that worried me was the 12/12 pattern with the smart-meter. Though I'll go...

    POWER BILL / ELECTRIC COMPANY - How not to become a suspect.

    My bad the 1000kw was a typo, I'll change it. Woodsmaneh! Thanks for your input that's exactly what I was looking for. I've been searching for good information but haven't been able to find it, or the topic/thread didn't answer the questions that were in my mind. I will definitely look up some...

    POWER BILL / ELECTRIC COMPANY - How not to become a suspect.

    I've been lurking around these boards and others for about a year, trying to find as much information as possible on every aspect of cultivation. By far the scariest of these is the dreaded power bill. Growing marijuana can be an experience which leaves us in a state of constant paranoia...

    First grow - Think I have it all figured out.

    Ok. I will be beginning my first grow ever very shortly. This grow will be the culmination of about 9-10 months of desire and research and a 900 dollar budget. The purpose of this post is to explain the set up of my op, and to receive advice regarding any flaws or tweaks that could be made to my...
