Under you avatar and location and all that goodness, there is a little button that looks like a scale. Next to the light that is sometimes green and sometimes grey, depending on your on-line status.

You should see some of the directions I write to people who come over to my house.

Hey GL:wave:

Looking REAL good in your room right about now, I had a feeling you would get some nice results.

PEACE

Hi temp,

i also use one 400W hps. It only needs 4-5 Amps to operate but draws ~14 Amps on start-up.

This is actually the reason most timers fail. They can not handle those 14 Amps.

So to answer your question try the 13 Amp relay. If it fails replace with something bigger, like 16 or 20.

I use a 30 Amp relay cause i'm planning on adding another 400W lamp. Hps or MH. Don't know yet.

Thanks PHANTOM.

It could be better.

I let my temps go really low and that affected my phosphorous uptake. Now i keep it at least 70F night or day. Really improved things, but yield was reduced.
 
Hi there Mrpiston38,

i trimmed and smoked that bud already cause i was checking their chemical levels (nice excuse). Haven't chopped them down yet. Next week. I am flushing them right now.
