I decided I was tired of draining the dehumidifier so I took the wheels off, put it on an upside down 5 gallon bucket and ran a short hose to the reservoir. I also grew tired of having stagnant water sit in the drainage system so I hooked the water pump for the water chiller up to the drainage outlet and now I have a double recirculating system. The duct tape is on there because I was afraid of any toxic shit getting into the water after welding the pieces together. I want to flush the system very well after I weld the pieces together so this will have to do for now.

Well the length of the rail is a factor too. If it was traveling more than 1x the footprint of the light as with a 12 foot rail I wouldn't have it delay on the ends. If your running a 1k watt with 8ft or less rail then I would delay it. I've used rails in the past but they were for veg areas not flower. I think in a commercial setup they're great for vegging large areas but not so much flowering as just adding a 2nd light in that space instead.

A second light would always be better but this is in hopes of doing more with less. Getting more coverage out of the same wattage.

Being the miserly cheap ass that I am, I would let the light sit a minute or 2 at each end. It will also increase the life of the motor. A 2 minute travel with a 2 min delay would theoretically double the life. Throw it on a kill-a-watt if you have one to see what it costs to run.

it costs 9 watts to run this bad boy... lmao. too long of a delay. i just turned the speed of the motor to the slowest point a without delay. takes a while to move back and forth on a 6 ft rail. and 12 ft would be way to long for a single light. for best results no more than a six foot rail is recommended per light and im using 5 ft with the 1000. :)

exactly. more for less. testing a theory. if i can grow and flower 120+ sq ft of flowering area with less then half the power without losing much on the weight side in the end is worth it. ill sacrifice a few oz of weed to save money if it helps my odds on a larger scale. cuz using 4 1000s instead of 8 would be amazing electrical savings. :) especially when i want a lb+ a week.

I checked the calendar and I need to flip to flower this weekend no matter how filled-in the screen is so I can finish up this run and dry it before I move out of this place. There will be just enough time to do all of this and tear the tent down in order to move to a house. I think the screen should be about 80-85% full by Saturday so it should be all good.

Flowering with a time schedule is tough! I messed up and have almost nothing under my 1000 right now and am pissed about it. I gotta move by the 18th, and none of them will even be done....

My mom lost her job-decided to retire. The house was mine left to me in a my G-ma's will. My mom is executor of the will, and decided to keep the house/sell it for her own gain and throw me to the wolves. She has the only copy of the will, and it isnt registered, so I havent a leg to stand on here legally.

She really is a bitch! She has always favored my younger brother, even though he treats her like shit and robs her and so did his wife on Christmas Eve 2 yrs ago. I have helped her every step of the way and went to her board meeting at her job to help her etc...
She steals everything from the wills when family dies etc...She even forced us to let her claim our kids tax time for years. We finally put our foot down! We needed the money to get a new car and try to fix out dieing car. She then decides to sell 'MY" house 4 months later after 11 yrs!!

Selfish is an understatement! The word EVIL comes to mind though.



Not to mention she knows my oldest daughter is going through a rough time right now with brain tumors....

Wow what a fucking bitch. Some people are just out for themselves and fuck anyone who gets in their way, even their children. It amazes me every time I hear shit like this. I am sorry you have such a cunt for a mom and I hope everything works out. Did you find a new place to stay and can you grow copious amounts of herb there?

I am trying bro! I might have found a place, but rental history is a problem for me as well as lack of credit. I prefer to pay cash and not owe, not the way our economic system wants us to be. They want us tied down like slaves to our debt!

That sux, it's def hard to do that without good credit. I screwed up my credit as soon as I found out what credit was. It took me a few years to clean it up but I am around 700 now. And you have to carry a balance, but not too much, to keep your credit good. That means you have to keep using it and feeding into the system. It's a tough thing to stay on top of for me but I am getting better at it.

I am a non-conformist in that I think credit is the devil and it calls to me! I dont go to the casino, not because I am an addict, but because I dont want to be. I am not responsible enough for credit lol.

I had a credit score in the nid 700s at 20 yrs old...on my 2nd car loan had Weinstocks, Sears JC Penney,Radio Shack, and a Visa lol. It was all good till I got rear-ended in a car accident. I was on disability for a yr. They ended that, and I tried for long-term dis-ability, and didnt get it till 10 yrs later. My bills never got paid except for the car loans after the disability ran out. I was employed off and on as my body would allow. Totally ruined my life financially. I said never again! I have a newish car again now finally (2007), but I paid cash for it and dont owe anyone! But now I cant rent or buy a house....I guess I have to be a hermit and live ion the hills and homestead or bite the bullet and buy into the system and be "normal".

You are correct, you can't have it both ways. I prefer trying to be "normal" and using the "system" to my advantage. It's definitely setup to make you fail and all that but if you play it smart you can avoid that failure and get nice things like a roof over your head. :o
