Loving the thread and thanks for sharing your process. Can you show me how you were able to plug the DE ballast with diy outlets on the ceiling rather than using a lighting controller.

Thanks for sharing. I love your rooms. What strains are you running?
Thanks. I’m running ice cream cake, gg4, gmo, sundae driver,501st og. I think that’s it.

Thanks. I just used your standard 240 volt outlet. Essentially the unit is always powered on. The ballast is controlled by the 10 volt timer similar to the gavita timer. Its the only thing not diy lol.

So basically all the DE lights are ran from sub panel to breaker and to multiple 240 receptacles daisy chained together while DEs are controlled by Gavita lighting or something similar.

Pretty much. It’s your standard 240 volt circuit. Instead of mounting my boxes in the ceiling and fishing wires I choose to screw them to the ceiling and leave romex exposed. Which is acceptable in a basement. Anything on the wall I used conduit. ✌️

Gotcha. Thanks for the reply. I’ve always just buy lighting controlllers but I understand the concept. I just need the new digital lighting controllers for the lighting fixtures.

Hey man - thanks for the advice on the turbokloner. Not exactly where yours are, but better than I have had them in a while.

Rocking the room as always!

I used the recipe in my cloner too and the results are amazing compared to what I was using in the past. I need to read up on nutrients and do something like you are running. Im trying out kelp4less dry nutrients now.

Right on. Jacks is so damn cheap. I’ve considered trying some other stuff like flora flex nutes but I keep going back to cost. And if it’s not broke don’t fix it. Thank you for the “inspirational” compliment, your too kind. ✌️

I am ecstatic about my room. Switched to erics newer jacks veg formula day of switch and it is absolute perfection. Blumats are godly. So glad I did not go with something that needed electricity, already had a hurricane. I really love how runoff is no longer needed and plants get exactly how much water they ask for. Most of all I love how my plants look. I am now a jacks fan and won't be screwing around with anything other than mega crop which will never go in my res just quick easy to mix.

I followed your grows 10 years ago on here and have a lot of respect for you. Im thinking of making the switch to jacks. Do you have a good formula for flowering?
