"little bit of trimming"...do you get breaks between washing pots. up-potting, and trimming? besides your bicycle excursions, i mean...
this month has been busy as i'm in the middle of the harvest cycle...so a set of plants gets chopped but of course i need to have the next set ready for flower,which means clones to be taken and everything moving up a pot size which means lots of cleaning...next month i'll have lots more free time to ride again...

So I found out what tripped my breaker the other day. Was standing near the receptacle when a spark shot out. So I took it apart and found out one of the wires was pinched in the cover plate. So fixed that today.

Also took a picture of one of the Super Boof cola. This is day 26 of flower. 44 more days to go. The cola is 12 inches long.

Just found a good electrician today I think I’ll use to wire up the barn. Comes highly recommended by a couple friends with licensed spots.
Here’s an updated pic as of today.

they give a rebate or tax credit here for good insulation and using leds
Yeah I can get a dollar per watt rebate on LEDs so like a growers choice 720 would be free to me, even if I bought say 56 of them they would rebate all of them.
Still not sure I want to go LED though.
High efficiency dehuey like quest or anden qualify for rebates as well, just not sure the particulars on those.

When I did the wiring on my barn I put a outlet every 4 feet along the outside walls. Plus outlets on the ceiling. Everyone was like holy shit that's a lot of outlets.

But they all thin k it was for a wood shop. I put one 30 amp 220 outlet on the wall. It cost $225 for the materials for just that outlet. But If I want to put my planer in latter I need that outlet. Or a welder could use it also.

I think I have almost $3000 in just the wire in the walls. Lol

I have all my 1k lights plugged on 220v. With 220v outlets.

It's a shame Mars Hydro doesn't haven any lights that comes with the 220v power cord.

I have purlins at 4 and 8 feet so I’ll wrap my rooms at both probably.
Enough 220 outlets on the ceiling for like 24-28 lights and then a 220 dehuey in each corner.
I’m scared to know the cost to be honest. That’s a lot of conduit let alone the wire.
