Good catch. But now you're creating a single circuit. There should be a hole in your breaker switches, you'll want to get a bar to put through the breakers. If one pops it'll cause some problems.
Would that be those little plastic clips that way if one circuit pushes down they all go down?

If not installed, what potential risks do they pose as-is?

Thanks as usual! :)

im in, bigger is always best in our cases but unfortunately can't contribute to your wiring issues....
All fixed now! :)

Yep, that would be it.

If the positive leg is still hot the circuit will try to complete it'self using the ground since it has nowhere to go.
Also if someone turns one of them off and thinks the power is off to the lights one leg still has 120v. (not really an issue in your case)
Not to mention it probably wouldn't be to good for your ballasts if one leg tripped.

Ok, Ok.... going to be an awesome journal, but for crying out loud , please get decent temp and humidity gauges.... Those accurite (accuwrong) are so far off... I have had three sitting in the same spot and the variance was 18% on the humidity and 12degrees on the temp.... Took them all back too the store and opened a new one,, yep, it read different than the other 3...

Those are really for show. If I can work in a T-Shirt and Jeans and feel comfortable the entire time then temps are fine. :) :) Humidity is controlled by the humidifier of course, and that has its own reader built into it............

What's a good model to get if you suggest one? Show us one that meets the frogster approval sir! :)

You seem quite confident playing with lots of electricity! Just sticking jumper cables on my car has me nervous haha.

Those chair rock although i find that the little "breaks" don't do much and you just end up horizontal a lot of the time, not that it's a bad thing, just makes it a bit more effort getting outta the chair :D

Humidifiers are very inexpensive, relative to everything else anyway. Mine was $100 or $120 I think, somewhere around there. They sell by square footage that they cover. I bought the 2900 sqft version and it needs filling twice a day. Its really annoying. I wish I had a bigger tank on it. Already plan on replacing it with a less-filling-every-day-twice-a-day model someday soon, just havent researched what yet.

So if your grow is 4000 watts or under, any humidifier will be fine. For more than that, the home depot ones are useless as I've found out. It still works, just too much work and its on about 80% of the time.

KushCon? :) That's the gayest sounding pot event I've ever heard! Some multiplayer jerkoff from Counter-Strike probably named it ;) (FPS players remember QuakeCon, John Romero losing a Quake match and thus his Ferrari as the bet).........

When OG goes out of style, will it be PineappleExpressCon? :)

Anyhow enough poking fun at pot events, just being a jokester..... :) It'd be wicked cool to see temps and environments on a phone. All of the environmental controls that are sold are somewhat confusing to understand. Hopefully the simple water cooling setup will alleviate the need for most of it.............

They make larger humidifiers that are readily available that you can run a water line too (even a stream, Lol) ... Its called Kushcon because KUSH magazine is putting on the show,,, suppose to be a big event ( non smoking) kushcon.com has the details and event line up.. tons of product reps etc there...... I think Kush magazine sucks,,, just page after page of advertisements, and the articles are biased as they dont want to say anything negative about a product that they may advertise in the future... The advertising rate is waaaaayy too expensive... Plenty of local dispensaries tried advertising and get crap for leads or sales.... WOM, Word of mouth, in this industry is a much effective tool, without the monthly premiums hurting you in places I care not to mention...

FUCK THE HATERS OVER GROW THE WORLD... THIS SHIT DON'T STOP FOR NOBODY... EITHER GET ON OR GET RAN THE FUCK OVER...

CANADA MARIJUANA LAWS:

Possession:
Cannabis (ex: marijuana) 30 grams or less: up to 6 months imprisonment or $1000 fine or both

Trafficking or Possession for purpose of trafficking:
More than 30 grams: imprisonment up to 5 years less a day
3 kilograms or less: imprisonment up to 5 years less a day
More than 3 kilograms: up to life imprisonment.


Using Cannabis for Medical Purposes

Marijuana has not been approved as a therapeutic product in Canada or anywhere else in the world. The safety and usefulness of marijuana for medical uses has not been clearly and scientifically established. Canada does however, have a program that allows seriously ill persons residing in Canada to possess marihuana for their own medical use. Under the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations (MMAR), people can be authorized to possess a specific amount of marihuana and can be licensed to grow their own marihuana or designate someone else to grow it for them.The MMAR require a person to have the support of a medical practitioner when applying for an authorization to possess marijuana for medical purposes.

A person may be allowed to possess dried marijuana to alleviate symptoms associated with medical conditions, such as:
•nausea and vomiting in patients being treated for cancer
•severe pain, anorexia and weight loss in patients with cancer, AIDS
•pain and muscle spasms in patients with multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injuries
•epileptic seizures
•severe chronic pain

All other possession and production of marijuana by individuals is illegal.

Source: National Anti-Drug Strategy - Drug Laws in Canada


The legal status of marijuana in Canada is under dispute. Superior and appellate courts in Ontario have repeatedly declared Canada's marijuana laws to be of no force and effect. However, historical challenges to marijuana laws at the federal level have not resulted in the deletion of the appropriate articles from the Criminal Code of Canada and the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Police and prosecution services in other Canadian jurisdictions still pursue criminal charges for marijuana possession.

The cultivation of cannabis is currently illegal in Canada, with exceptions only for medical usage. However, the use of cannabis by the general public is broadly tolerated, and a vigorous campaign to legalize cannabis is underway nation-wide.

Several polls since 2003 have found that a majority of Canadians agreed with the statement, "The use of marijuana should be legalized", the latest being the 2008 Angus Reid poll. The recent development after the last election is however the opposite, a much more restrictive law with higher minimum penalties for drug crimes and a national anti-drug strategy including prevention and treatment.

History of Cannabis prohibition

Cannabis was added to the Confidential Restricted List in 1923. Historians usually point to the 1922 publication of Emily Murphy’s The Black Candle as the inspiration for the addition. Murphy was a suffragist and police magistrate who wrote a series of articles in Maclean’s magazine under the pen-name “Janey Canuck,” which formed the basis of her book. She uses numerous anecdotes culled mostly from anti-drug reformers and police to make her arguments, which make strong links between drugs and race and the threat this poses to white women. One chapter is entitled Marahuana – A New Menace, and makes the startling claim that the only ways out of cannabis addiction are insanity, death, or abandonment.

Although her anti-drug screeds were widely read and helped spread the drug panic across the country, historian Catharine Carstairs disputes that the short chapter in Murphy’s book on cannabis inspired the drug’s inclusion on Canada’s restricted substance list. Specifically, Murphy was not respected by the Division of Narcotic Control because of the creative liberties she took in presenting research they had assisted her with.

More likely, cannabis was added to the list because of Canadian involvement in international conferences where it was discussed. According to one government official, cannabis was outlawed after the Director of the Federal Division of Narcotic Control returned from League of Nation meetings where the international control of the drug was broached. Cannabis did not begin to attract official attention in Canada until the latter 1930s, and even then it was minimal.The first seizure of cannabis by Canadian police was not until 1937. Between 1946 and 1961, cannabis accounted for only 2% of all drug arrests in Canada.

I got a 12 Gal. humidifier for something like $140 which is supposed to handle up to 2500 sq ft but the damn thing only holds 3.9 gallons so I'm CONSTANTLY filling it. I'm thinking of hooking up an external reservoir so I don't have to dick with it all the time.

Nice!! Very neat product. There's no "high speed" Internet here only DSL, but it should work for that someday in the future. :)

They make larger humidifiers that are readily available that you can run a water line too (even a stream, Lol) ... Its called Kushcon because KUSH magazine is putting on the show,,, suppose to be a big event ( non smoking) kushcon.com has the details and event line up.. tons of product reps etc there......

WOM, Word of mouth, in this industry is a much effective tool, without the monthly premiums hurting you in places I care not to mention...
Nice. I'll probably have to get one when the other room is done, no sense in filling two units twice daily.......... Mine is a 13 gallon one, yet I swear I cant even fit 2 gallons in the tank. They count the pan in the volume which is pure bullshit and probably illegal marketing but who am I to say :)
