    Perpetual grow room build (Pictures Included)

    There isn't really a design sheet at this point... the entire system is so modular that its programmed specifically for the users decided behavior. I could try to teach people the basics of PLC's, but in the finality of it the end user has to decide how the inputs and outputs are going to behave...

    Perpetual grow room build (Pictures Included)

    The mother closet is a simple bucket system.. The flowering areas are elevated ebb and flow trays. Whats really nice about the custom cabinets is that the plants, and the heat from the light stay in the cabinet, this helps keep down the temperatures of my reservoir which is sitting out of the...

    Perpetual grow room build (Pictures Included)

    9,000 BTU dual hose a/c will handle any suplimentary cooling that the inline ducting can't handle. I made sure to buy a dual hose so that I could isolate the room entirely from the rest of my house. Pictured also is one of 4 high voltage relays. You may ask "why high voltage?" and for those of...

    An only child, so i can't even send you similar genetics :weed: PLC's are so much cheaper than buying stand alone controllers. I thought about building custom applications "for sale" but decided instead to concentrate more on my own endeavors. For someone with enough time on their hands...

    Hey everyone. I'm looking for experience from someone who has done what I am going to try and do. I have 4 trays, a perpetual harvest. I have a reflector and bulb over each tray. 2 trays will run 12 hours a day, and then the other two trays will light for the second half of the day. Each pair...

    whats the difference between 120v and 240v

    The advantages continue past this explanation, it also means running less wires. If you bring 240 volts to your grow room, and run your ballasts on 240 volts s0high's explanation is correct... to take greater advantage of 240, you can split the 240 and use each 120 volt line individually, and if...

    whats the difference between 120v and 240v

    Actually, if you do some research you will find that 5 MILLI amps is enough to kill you... thats why GFCI receptacles are designed to kick out at 3 milliamps. Due to mass men typically can handle up to 9 milliamps before your heart goes into cardiac arrest, and on a general basis women can...

    Ohms law states Watts = Volts x Amps Power is power, if you have a 600 watt light, and its a "perfect world" you need to supply it with 600 watts of power, in reality a ballast is not 100% efficient so your pulling more like 640-700 watts. Anyway, back to ohms law.... an example 600 watts =...
