Diesel Ryder 250w CFL Grow

the very tip doesnt HAVE to be pointed down, dont touch it for sure! it will go down naturally cuz of gravity
with the position it is in the diagram just go straight down with it put some dirt over top of seed so the casing can get pulled off and you're good to go

My electrical stuff isnt that bad i hope..... its three power-strips the first one has a work-light, the 250w, and a fan. Then the second power-strip is plugged into the first with nothing else plugged into it. Finally the third strip is plugged into the second one and it only has a fan and one work-light.

haha if you can follow that im impressed, anyway do you think that could start a fire?

Yeah I follow you, I'm pretty baked. I don't really know electricity though dude. It should be alright though. Outlets handle a LOT of juice and that's not very much at all.

Could someone help me figure out how to plant this germd seed?
I know you put root down but i really just don't know how to do this one...

It doesn't really matter as the taproot will just go down into the soil anyway. Might as well put it so the seed part is higher than the root coming out, so the root is pointed down into the soil. But you could just throw it in there and have good results anyway.

When you plant: stick your finger an inch into the soil, drop the seed in there, and put cover with soil and gently pack it down so its not loose, but not super tight either.

drumroll...

well lets see you have a 250watt hood, 4 26watt cfls, and lets say 80 watt fan.

250+104+80 watts = 434 watts total

amps = watts/volts


lets see how much money your setup cost to run a day

434X 18 = 7.812 Kw a day at the average rate of .07 a Kw

7.812X.07 = .55

nice not bad $0.55 a day is a good price for some good homegrown.


x= 434/120
x=3.616666 amps

your fine for now my power-tools average around 5.5 amps it is that amps that cause fires. to many amps for 1 wire will cause it to heat up or even melt.

The Cfl's are 42w so 4.15 amps but that prob doesn't change much. That was a pretty bomb evaluation thanks man!

Idk im running a 250w CFL + 4x 42w CFLs so like 418 but i feel like i cant get my lights as close to my plants as i want. Ill put up pictures in a little bit.

A few inches (2-3) will do, and if you use most of your lights potential you can get good results.

HARTH234!!
i'm glad you got your shit going
peep my thread, i'm now growing diesel, crazy story haha

so all is not lost, we can still exhange bud hopefully
