that ac exhaust box is sweet man. are you using a fan too ? how long a run of ducting for the exhaust? i need to do the same thing

yeah the upstairs only has 6ft of duct straight into the attic, downstairs is about 20ft. upstairs just has a booster but I'm gonna put a 5-600cfm inline on both. it works great as long as you cut the sides out and seal the exhaust and ambient (intake) zones from each other.. otherwise the exhaust fan will force hot air into the ambient zone lowering efficiency. i used that high temp foil tape since the compressor get to about 300 degrees F.

Thought I was gonna do 4 Ps of the bubba but I'm happy.. :biggrin: this shit is strong and tastes real good even without any cure. Gonna probably gonna start chopping a week earlier.. day 58 for bubba and day 64 for OG.. get an extra harvey in per year ya know.

Greenlight Rooting + HG excelurator kills it. 6/6 bubbas and 4/10 OGs have roots in 5 days...
picture.php


when the OGs went into the 5 gal pots from solos they were lanky tall xmas trees so I had to cut em down about a foot.... never tried to root cuts this big before.. 4/10 so far at 5 days.

downstairs is at around day 30 12/12 right now, 3 lights OG 1 light bubba.

i tried to get away with a quickie trellis setup and will suffer for it. things are floppy and im hoping the 5ft bamboo sticks im getting tomorrow will save the day. its one 10ft pvc hanging from the ceiling + staples on the wall side and netting of course.

upstairs has jus been vegging out for the last month.. bubbas are bigger than ive ever vegged before ... i feel so much safer being under 99 threads

there are 20 or so babies in 5 gal pots scattered around the room getting ready to take over downstairs when chop time comes.

here is the last 5 SFV OGs i will flower. im ditching the genetics. good strong high but such a lanky, weak and needy plant.

and a happy new years to all

running shit on 240 will reduce the amp by half soo.. if ur 1000w light runs 10 on 120.. then on 240 it runs 5... so u can run 2 1000w lights off a 15 amp breaker on 240 .. but if u were to use 120.. ud need 30 amp breaker to run 2 lights.. basicly.. u get to hook up more equipment.. it doesnt save money.. just allows for mroe stuff to be plugged in the same spot!!

hello,
its possible convert 240 volts to 120 volts? how?


Do you have Magnetic (standard) or digital ballasts?


Digital usually just needs a different power cord, they are interchangeable and available at most hydro stores.

Magnetic ones, you need to open up the ballast enclosure, look at the wiring diagram that is a BIG STICKER on the top of the ballast winding re-wire it from the "120v" lead and replace it with the "240v" one, then you will obviously need to rewire your outlets with 240v

hey guys can we not use this thread for having a conversation about voltage conversion? Growroom Designs and Equipment would be a better place for that.
