The rusty bit isn't a contact. It's the iron core. You have two halfs, each made of E shaped laminations. The coil sits around the middle bar. When switched on, the two E cores slam together. That is the physical movement. The contacts are attached to the moving E core. On the left appears to be the switch that's closed when there is no current in the core winding. Power up the core, and that switch opens. The other 3 are physically up-side-down in comparison. The core moves, closing, not opening them
The red bits, the connections. The green bits, the moving plates. The yellow bits, the actual contact points. Notice how the left one is closed, but when the core moves upwards (in this orientation) that plate moves up with it. Look now to the right one, it's got the plate below it, not above. It will come up, closing the circuit.

Good luck on the next one buds

Thanks Sampas
I think I'll do better with the next one.
I'm going to keep the closet warm and humid for the start and maybe use a dome at the beginning as well ?
And I think if I keep an eye on my PH this time, everything should work out better.
I don't know why my PH got so out of wack with this last plant, because I did everything the same as I've always done, but it doesn't matter why.
I just need to keep it in range which is easy enough to do.
I just put another seed in water and my closet and planter are just about ready for another plant.
Growing in the winter always works better for me
Why not flush it and finish with a light dose of nutrients for maybe a cleaner start for the girl? Maybe would help with the ph for the next grow?
well i guess if the dome works for one must works for the other so if all is good with this one why not?
Peace
It's an odd shaped lid isn't it. With that gap so large, I wonder how a tube might work instead.
I look at this and wonder about the slight tip roll, that we saw much more without the lid. Could it be the dryer air creeping in. Could it be the plant taking in more feed as it breathes better now. Do we even have a combination where everything flows well through the core of the plant, more than it did, but then reaches the drier outer extremities.
Perhaps the dome isn't big enough and so see's quite a gradient between the top and the bottom lips.
I think it has access to a lot of water.
We don't normally stand any plant pot in a saucer of water.
That looks like it could go days without the water it's stood in.
I reckon the heavy look is probably because it's over-watered.
It's a much more common occurrence than my musings over the domes placement. Which might be best left to guys in white coats.
Can you wire up a humidity controller?
You say you cant give too much light, but go look at the scope pics you took of the trichomes. 75 percent of them are just stalks without heads, cause they are melted off.
I wont get into the foxtails and lack of density too, but you seem to have a handle on it better than anybody else around here haha.
I better go listen to that space boy you mentioned.
Do what you want its your grow, but im sure you misguide alot of people when they wind up on your page, when you make huge claims like you do hehe
