Alright Hulk nugs,
I'll break it down for you:
4-lumateks on top
Sentinel CHHC-1, Intelliclimate climate control, Sentinel CHHC-1
All the next boxes are Sentinel PXM-1 then the odd ball is a HPH-4
They only thing I'm not sure about is the row of relay boxes on the bottom. never seen that kind before.
Hope this helps
Cowboy

As far as the coolbox goes... the coil that you use is that something i can pick up at home depot?

nop

Mitus said:

Is it just a set of wires I'm trying to locate in my attic if I want to tap into the main power supply of the house? the fuse box is located outside... would i be needing to run wiring from the main fusebox into the attic and then to my growroom?

Click to expand...

yes, you need to run a separate set of wires to your main panel

Mitus said:

is there any possibility that i could damage the electrical system in the house if i do this incorrectly?

Click to expand...

its basically simple/basic electrical logic, but,,, you could mess things up
not knowing something or not being careful enough, this is live power
there are no second chances; if you know what i mean
and i don't know what your electrical skills are
i cant answer this, sometimes even the pro makes mistakes

Mitus said:

is there a parts list somewhere in your journal for the fuse boxes?

Click to expand...

yes,
you can find underneath the pictures set of each panel

you're the man, thank you.

What is this thing called and where can I get one?

lol,
its just sitting on top of a random box
you can get this through www.bghydro.com
....very soon

I wanted to add, that for the fusebox i want to build... I am only using 120v devices. I'll be running 3k-4k watts in lights, multiple fans, an a/c unit, 1/4 hp water chiller and multiple water pumps/air pumps.

So this is the box I'll be wanting to build right? :

This is a Downgrade Power Center
30amp 220v laundry outlet into 2 x 15amp 110v






Main 60amp Power Box = $9
2 x single pole 15amp breaker = $3.35
1 x two gang steel box = $1.94
1 x two gang steel box outlet cover = $1.87
1 x one inch 1/2 spacer = $0.99
1 x 3/4 cable clamp = $0.99
1 x 30amp 240v dryer cord = $18.47
2 x duble nema 5-15 outlet (10amp 120v) = $1.99
1 x 1' Romex 3 wire cable 10 gauge = $1.67

oh that must be your coolbox design eh? I only poke in and out of the thread

this will work as downgrade box; if you have an existing 220v outlet with 4 wire/prongs
you cant run all these appliances over two 15amps
make sure you calculate and plan for your power usage prior

Ya i guess it would help if i had some prior knowledge before i asked all these questions... So if I understand correctly I'll need to run conduit/wiring from the main fuse box outise into the attic and all the way to my grow room... at this point as you said I'll need to figure out how much power I'll be using. How can I calculate how many amps the fuse box i'm building will need to be? Could I guess and just overshoot it? or do i just need to add up the watts used by each device?

Oh how could of missed the fact two of the boxes were 220v?

here is a couple shots of my recently started grow, my mom plant and the next batch starting soon. I love aero, but because of water/room temp issues I had to get something going and went with drip for now.

Like I was telling you before, in order to have all my shit running i have to have extention chords all over the place and its a mess. I'm also using the shitty spin dial timers and I think its time to invest in a nice timing systems. Hopefully I'll get this fuse box thing worked out and can clean up the room a bit here

I'm attempting sog style with zero veg time. The clones were all about 6-8" tall. My other tent (which i didnt post pics) I meant to do sog style... but i veg'd them for 8-10 days then switched over. They shot up almost 5 feet tall and I can barely keep them in the tent... so I may be scraping those plants and starting over with all the extra clones i have. it hurts... but it may be the best for me in the long run.

Whats a really good and STRONG INDICA thats good for a SCROG ?

how do you plug in the Sentinel HPH-4? Does it plug into a "dryer" outlet or a normal outlet?

Do your lumatek 240's use the standard plug or the 240v plug?

Forgive my dumb questions.

Click to expand...

the HPH comes with no wire,
you can wire it to what ever plug you choose
I'm running the AC off of it, over a 15amp wire with regular nema 5-15 plugs
the reason is, the HPH-4 contactors are rated for 20amp heavy duty
which will take the AC loads when its starts without tripping the switch

nop, they use nema 6-15 plugs into the wall

the girls are two weeks old, they are now showing the signs of my abuse
help me out here guys, we're looking at nutes burn
and spider mites (i guess they came with the clones)
is that correct?

first of all....

what is your EC at?

second, try to adjust your camera setting so we can see better, the orangish red hues are washing out any coloring that is helping to tell

third...you have rust...are you giving them cal/mag? anything more than 5mL/gallon is TOO much imho

your 'reddish' stems are coming from either a p def

or something is locking the P out

better yet.... when is your light schedule?

if you have enough time meaning a few more hours of light


go ahead and turn your ballast off real quick....snap some good pics, wait 30 minutes and then you can turn your ballast back on

thanks lb
ill try to snap better pics,
the light is so bright i couldn't tell if the picture is clear or not

i got it stablenow on 1420ppm @0.5, pH 5.8, water @68.8f

LoudBlunts said:

yes
my soup mix consist of
126ml Cal-Mag Plus
250ml Sweet
180ml Liquid Karma
540ml Pure Blend Pro Bloom

15 gallon reservoir to 1400ppm (i end up using about half)

going to snap the pics... now!

looks like mites for sure. but it doesent really look like nutr burn looks like a deficancy of some sort. with the orange light cant really see to well. but im about 95% sure its NOT burn.
