Thursday Night Chop Down!

So what is a safe load on the 20 amp breaker? Will it pop on loads under 20 amps or is it safe all the way up and a bit more?

I figure I will be pushing it. There are areas where I could cut back though lol. This will be my 4th box in the room.

1 box with a 432 T5 Fixture, one with a 216 T5, 1 600HPS with 4 T5 54W side lights and all the bells and whistles. I just went through the room and I calculate about 23.88 ams when everything is running. I'd say I will be pushing it if I add more eh? lol

most items run at a normal level, but when they are first turned on they have a surge. this is why breakers usually pop when things are turned on, not while they are running. you should let your friend take a look at it... it sounds like a lot on one breaker... what size is the breaker?

perhaps he can just put a bigger breaker in for ya... they only cost about $5 just make sure the wire size can handle it.

Thanks man!!! for nutes in flowering I am using fox farms big bloom and tiger bloom as bases, i also use humbolts ginormous, then at week four I start adding beastie bloomz. and just recently i starting adding molasses to the waterings in between the nutes. and no, i never flush before harvest.

Its a 20A breaker and the wire size is 14-2. She's warm to the touch as it is. My panel is full too so I may just have to rewire and put in a new breaker with a higher rating. I will PM from here thanks Stoney!

Yikes!!! maybe he can take some readings and be able to bump ya up some and replace the 14AWG with some 12 or even 10. I ran 12-2 to my grow but it is a dedicated wire and breaker just for my flower cabinet. I have an entire separate run for my veg cabinet.

warm to the touch makes every electrician cringe!!!

I swear by not flushing!!! one time i gave a plant triple strength nutes 4 days before harvest... nobody could taste a difference!!!! and yea, molasses in hydro would make me worry to... I basically use it as a cal+mag substitute.

Hey stoney, I dont flush either, wife can never tell a difference (picky women are good taste testers!)

Here is something to try if you have time and enough bud. Place the bud in a paper bag, small lunch bag size for anything under a half O, after cutting from plant. Roll end to seal leaving it poofy with air inside. Open it daily and check it as well as dont leave as much air in it each time you check it. Once it is crispy on the outside jar it until moist, few hours to a day, but your a great judge of what to do next already I'd suspect Try it after a day, 2 or so after dry enough to smoke. It may remain more moist on the inside even after dried, in part of my experience. Still have more tests to run, need more bud!

ha, that's funny i was gonna say... and my GF can't tell the difference, and she is a picky smoker!!!!! i didn't cuz sometime she reads this... but you are right, she is the best judge i have.

I have used paper bags in the past when it is very humid to hang and didn't dry after a week. i never tried it fresh from the plant or kept it poofy with air inside. I will try it tomorrow when i harvest my blueberry!!!

Since my harvest is gonna be another small one... I decided to fill the void with a nice big update... but before i do, I found a slight defeciencey... any ideas?

Here is an update of the girls.... These first two are of the girl that went into the flower cabinet today... she is a mystery girl, I forgot to label her when she sprouted roots.... I'll know about half way into flowering, I'll label her then. I think it is an NYPD.




And apparently I now have protection in my new cabinet... all webbed up in the front bottom corner... get those bugs, guard spider!!!!! hahaha



And these are just random pics in random ways......

Whats up man? Those plants are lookin great, i cant wait to see them flower. I looked into the spectras a lil more and read reviews and grow reports all over. Anyway i decided to go with the blackstar because people reported such a small difference between the two. There was a difference though which some may find a considerable difference but you cant beat thd deal on the light and tent combo i got soo we will see im keepin my fingers crossed but if anything at least i got some good side lighting for my hps.

Keepin it Proper !!! Like a BOSS !!!!!!

Very very nice setup.

bro!!! thats just fuckin unreal!! very nice man, ive never seen anything like those leaves, did you just dose them with the molasses? and the spider is cool, great bug gaurd, LoL. did you chop tonight? ole fizzy won, thank god, LoL. were down quite a few dogs right now, only 5 to 8 dogs in the next few cards. great job again bro!!

Thanks so much for all the compliments CD!!! I wish that spider would have turned around to shoot it's back. it wouldn't move, and I didn't want to fuck up it's web.

and yes, i did just give them the molasses... WTF!! ya know, sometimes a plant is just a pig and needs more than all the others. what do you think, should I give her more molasses? I did only mix it 1 teaspoon/ gallon. or should I Flush, dry, and feed?

you guys need to ship in some good veteran dogs from out of state again!! show em whats up!

Thanks again bro!!!!!!

Oh yea.... I did have a chop down!! I forgot.... my excuse is, I made my first edibles tonight!! I used a recipe given to me from MsBBB, she calls them firecrackers. they were peanut butter crackers baked with sweet aged wonder woman. the recipe calls out for .5 gram per cracker. I logically used 2 grams per cracker!!! made/ate two of them.... I am pretty high now that i think about it.... My buddy calls this weed tail light weed... he feels lost in the tail lights when he smokes it... i think i now understand why he calls it that.... ooooh I'm babbling!!! FUCK!!! sorry on to the small harvest and a few bud porn. the harvests are getting bigger and bigger... soon, huge!!! (I HOPE)








I'm hungry.....

That bubba looks great!!! I heard ya say she has some amber in her... It's about that time!!! I have done partial harvests before to. It just sucks using up that good flower space for half a plant... and the smallest half at that!!

and no signs of life on the floja or the c4 cross. they are warm and wet, so it will just take time. It has been 3 1/2 days now.

that sounds right stoney, i was reading about using to much as it could cause nute lockout. heres the plant problem guide again, it tells about mag cal lockout, Plant Problems
were suppose to be getting some new pups in soon, we are getting my bro back, he wont run in jacksonville, that makes me very happy, i love that dog so much, hes gonna be so excited to see me again, LoL.

I am gonna chalk it up to light bleaching. that's funny though dude, I use that same plant problem link!! I have a few others... but I usually look there first. I couldn't find anything that matched what i had... it only got worse when the lights were on. so I moved them up a little higher. They are now 26" above the canopy.

so how long was that pup in jacksonville?

93

more and more i wish you a neighbor, beautiful ladies.

Stoney bro. Those buds look fuckn awesome. I wish I could help with ur lead problem but that's the first time I seen some shit like that. Everythiing looks great regardless. I may do an update tonight. She's puttin on a lil bud now, I'm bored, and it don't seem much is goin on here on RIU.
