ummmmm been feeding this lot the dry salts only...they look a bit shabby - think theyre over fed.... at 400ppm so im gonna try 300ppm...if i can get it right it'll save me a fortune and loads of time...realised my ec/ppm pen is well off compared to the blue lab so threw it away... its been misleading me by around 150ppm...grrrPZ2A9206.jpg

You can use stranded wire as well but it's not recommended by Samsung. Although non soldered single stranded connections are not as durable, you should only twist the wire ends but not solder them additionally.
BTW,
Stranded wire is easier to insert if at the same time you press the small button down a bit to open the connector.

You should test the poti's resistance with an A/V meter. A resistance lower as 100k would limit the driver and there is usually a big deviation within a pack. In a package of 5, I find some with only 91k, but I also measured others with 110k. Too much is not a problem, but not enough is bad. 91k means only 91% light output with poti turned fully open, you don't want that.

But ther is a solution if your poti have a too low resistence, you can solder an extra 10k resistor in between to get over 100k.

Hey Random, so even a 250K is OK to use? I have a hlg-320h-15B, (heavy sob) want to use for my strips (12V)

thanks , figured id just drop this Q here.

Hopefully you'll get it sorted. These meters are great when they work properly, pita when they don't! Doesn't help that you have to rush in and out and fit plants in around a busy work schedule. I'm guessing you'd rather stay home and sort the plants out, if it paid the bills.....
Pics up later of my veg cab. Got a bit more drilling n screwing to do first...then I'll give you a shout when the electrics need doing :D

Just dont use cheap meters, i didnt even need to so that makes me double silly.

Been reading loads about hot coco and mag/cal - found a really great thread on icmag. Well worth a read if youre into coco, a lot of people are. The lower leaf temps from no led IR cause a mag/cal problem too.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=215150

Ive been battling this for ages.

Looking forward to the pics man (: be great to see what you've come up with.

@ttystikk how're things dude? hows the situation with law enforcement?

I just bought a cheap Multimeter........obvs it won't get used on my plants, just electrics, which could only contribute to burning down my flat.....so it's all OK :o :D
I'll have a read of the coco thread at some point.......think I saw the thing about IR and leaf temps somewhere....makes sense. Hopefully your battle is close to being won (:
Did you see the ITV prog about the celebs on a US pot road trip? They were in @ttystikk 's part of the world as well as California. If you didn't catch it, it's worth a watch.......especially the bit where they od'd on brownies lmao

Yeah where you at @ttystikk ? Don't see you around much...hope all is well man.
