Someone asked how the Golden Nuggets were doing. So I drug em out of the tent to get some natural light shots.
Day 58.. they have a sweet berry fragrance with a bit of chem, fuel in there.View attachment 4217384View attachment 4217385View attachment 4217386
Can't wait to try these, hoping for 3 oz of greasy bud.

thanks for going to all that effort i really appreciate it. they look pretty nice. just flipped mine to 12/12 today so hopefully they come out just as nice as yours

yes see that's makes no sense to me all the more reason I might as well learn thus shit now lol! plus it's a good trade to have!

A quick lesson in electricity:

Watts=amps x volts or put differently, amps=watts / volts

Wire thickness (gauge of wire) is determined by amps:
10 gauge wire is good for ~30 amps
12 gauge for ~20 amps
14 gauge for ~15 amps
There is more to wire size like length of the wire (longer runs need larger wire), multi-strand vs solid wire, etc., but for today's lesson this should cover it.

Now using the above information, imagine running 2200 watts of lights. On 110 volts that would be 20 amps (2200 watts / 110 volts = 20 amps). You would need at least 12 gauge wire for this.

Now use the same 2200 watts on 220 volts. 2200 watts / 220 volts = 10 amps. See there, you only need 14 gauge (or less actually - say 16 gauge).

Look at any electrical appliance (blender, vacuum, saw, etc) and it should have a tag or stamping that states how many amps it draws. Take your a/c for example and say it draws 9 amps. Assuming it operates on 110 volts, that would make it 990 watts.

I believe you should only run your load at 80% of the rated 20 amp breaker. You should shoot for 16 amp max on a 20 amp circuit if memory serves me, been a while.

No problem, gives me a chance to show off. I hope they lean Golden Goat heavy, I love me some trippy weed. Good luck with yours man.

I appreciate all the help guys I'll let yall know exactly what I decide to do! I'm actually doing this bc I got some new strains coming soon! so I'll keep everyone updated on how everything goes! thank you guys a ton it was truly helpful!!!!

@greenthumb here is another thought. Keep things small for a year.Save money for a year and build something nice in your new place.All of your equipment should state the amount of amps. Just make sure you don't exceed 75% load on any circuit.

Yeah,my thoughts too.or a cob/led for him.it's not his house,he's moving out in a year and he doesnt have much experience with electical.makes me pucker a little thinking about someone who has little experience taking a panel cover off.especially not knowing what's behind it or how well/shitty the wiring inside is.if it's a rat's nest of wires back there,it would be easy to have a short when you turn the power back on at the outside breaker.not knocking manufactured homes,but quality work is not usually what they are known for.also,if that's an older home,chances are,that's only got a 100amp service running to the panel.

I dropped half a dozen of those two days ago, I am feeling pretty good about that, thanks to you! Nice stuff.

That’s very nice of you to take the time to write all of that out. All that stuff is in my head, but I am too impatient, selfish and lazy to write it out most of the time. Thanks for being a better person than me.
 
What if you partition off the 5x9 into two sections with some panda film and ran 12/12 on opposing schedules. Run a 1000 and a 315 on each side or something.

Had to pull this and the other pheno today due to needing the space. She stinks, absolutely reeks of shitty onions with chem undertones. The other one is eye watering too...its offensive but good, can't wait to see how they smoke.

i am heartbroken that plant did not get to finish. it looks like it had huge potential. did you get cuts to run her again?
 
Some crappy cell shots of the last Sundae Stallions and 1 Eagle Scout before chop.

Sundae Stallion #3 lowers. This one will get a second round

I tried to get shots of the whole plant but this cell doesn't take the greatest pics.

Hope everyone's havin good day.
