    They're 680 ohms. Bear in mind that this value only suits a bud dryer built for 240V. For 120V dryers, it should be 340 ohms or the next lower standard resistor value. The dimmer will allow you to set the current if the std value resistors allow too much current, exceeding the 25W power rating.

    Yep, I'm running a carbon filter now. My main complaint about it is that I'm so accustomed to the smell of buds that I can't trust my own nose to tell when the filter has stopped working. I probably should cook up a manometer out of some plastic tubing and water with some food dye which might...

    There's a whole thread about my bud dryer(s) here. I'm on v2.0 now but the operating theory is the same as in this diagram describing v1.0: Bear in mind that v2.0 uses six resistors, not just two. It also has a thermostat to control temp to 29C max. As I think of it, I'm probably on v2.5...

    It doesn't sound like you will have the ability to dump exhaust into an intermediate airspace (perhaps a crawl space in your application), but that would be preferred. It would reduce the load on the HVAC system, even if you are taking cool air from the system to feed into the op. If you can't...

    I do think you're on the right track, SOGgy. Since you're near an airport, seeing helis flitting about shouldn't alarm you much. You can bet that pilots have a lot more on their mind than FLIR scanning the neighbourhoods around an airport when they're taking off and landing. Takeoff & landing...

    I had not seen that version of the Trimpro, thanks for that. :) I'm not sure I would use one either, but DAMN does it look inviting. Bam, job done, albeit with a lot of excess leaf left on the buds. Small buds would also probably get sucked into the cutting blades and be wasted, I'd think. All...

    No worries, happy to be of some help if I can. You're not quite in uncharted waters per se; totally sealed ops have been done before- I've done a couple and I'm sure I'm not alone! I did one in a storage room in the sub-basement of a BMF apartment bldg, where there was no possibility of...

    If your drying box has an exhaust fan and an adequately sized intake port (or an intake fan), it'll be fine. Air motion from the fan will stop any mould, even where a few buds may be touching one another. I would not use a timer on the fan. You are counting upon air motion to stop mould. The...

    yep, gotcha. I didn't think you'd overlook that, you're so stunningly thorough with everything else! :D It does, thanks. Nice work. :)

    How are you getting CO2 in there? tried to click the img for the larger ver but it's a .zip and my Winzip said it was a bad file. :/ Yep, manicuring is a bitch of a job. There are trimmers out there like the Aardvark and a few others, but they leave too much leaf on the buds for my...

    SOG growers wanted !!!

    hay LB, yep, I've been off doin' my thang, ya know. :) Alles klar, herr kommissar. ;) sup sparks? :) Thanks for missing me, get ready for more of it- I have to get back on the usual gig soon. Nice work, but there's not enough boobies on that for my wanking tastes, sorry. :lol:

    Hid Lighting Limits

    Oh, I see. heh... well, popularity simply isn't my reason for being here. Rather, it's all about encouraging ppl to use critical thinking and the scientific method. Growing cannabis is all about science. Those who reject science in favour of wives' tales like 'organic' hydroponics, LEDs, CFLs...

    Once more with feeling: the problem occurs for either WITH or WITHOUT piping through my VPN. Other users who are not using VPN are having the problem. It's RIU's server, NOT network connectivity probs. Not true! I'm impatient with all Jobs, notably Steve. :lol: Depends upon how much...

    I'd agree with you if other RIU users weren't also having problems, independent of ping times. I can disable routing through VPN and still have problems accessing RIU. It's not network connectivity- it looks more like the server running RIU can't cope with the number of access reqs.

    None particularly; I can't really tell you who I am using, either. Just find a VPN service that doesn't cost much (under $100/yr) and lets you move as much data as you need to without excess data fees.

    How Not To Grow Dope

    No. S'crap. Tell your seller he's a lot safer just taking your money for the ballast and not offering any electrical wiring advice which he's pretty obviously not qualified to offer. Whoever wrote that was well on their way to being a w33d b4R0n. :lol: I hear Stoney's up to some bullshit...

    I use a private, paid VPN with POPs in the US & UK. I'd never use a 'free' proxy. Many (if not most) of them are honeypots designed to harvest passwords, credit card numbers and any other private data they can get. There's no such thing as a free lunch- ever. Yes, the sysop of a free proxy and...

    one more on FLIR... if you're insanely curious as to what your place looks like on FLIR, you can rent FLIR cameras. Check Google or the phone book for scientific measurement equipment rentals in your area. It'll cost you about $200-300 for a day's use, but if it makes you sleep better, go for it.

    Just start a thread in the relevant forum. Someone will chime in, hopefully one of the more knowledgeable folks.
