ok people have asked to see my grow room (ive decided to just add 2 20 amp fuses and run the wire to feed my lights etc instead of the bigger job)
here are a few pics..kinda hard to take a full pic......
took these with my "green" light on.....didnt seem to affect them

and romulus (romulan x dream goddess )are in the white square buckets in front of the aero system
pic 2 and 3 have different short style tomatoes and more white widows i took from my flood and drain units and will finish them here so i can work on the other room im using for veg only to get my plants ready for the may 15/ june 1st greenhouse opening (second year growing cannabis in the greenhouse)
i use the tomatoes for cover for the real crop inside

ok so after deciding that adding a sub panel when ive never even changed a light fixture was a bad idea (ok smarter people made that smart decision) i figured adding 2 20 amp fixtures and running the lines to the new grow room was a better idea
lets just say after adding the first line (its up and running but needs to be tweaked as far as placement..need those things that hold the line in place around corners) it was not any harder than i thought......and at the same time i really wish i had an electrician do it.........DAMN was it a lot of work
working with 12-2 wire (bought a 250 foot spool for 7 dollars more than a 100 foot...makes no sense to me) is more difficult than i thought.......and i understand why electricians take their time and work at a dedicated pace to get things right
i dont have any pics but ill describe what i did......my description is not in order.....my brain is too fried to go step by step....
the black (Hot) goes inside the breaker screw.....
the bare copper wire (ground) and neutral wire (white ) go into the ground/neutral bar in the fuse box (i did this step last.....with the main breaker for the entire box OFF)
placed the end in first and snapped the breaker in
took the wire and cut off a piece for connecting the first and second outlet (went with a double 4 inch deep outlet....only need 4 plugs for each line)...
ok i need a break.....sorry for not completing it all at once....
ok part 2
gold colored screw is for hot(black) silver screw is for neutral (white) and bare is ground for green screw
connected the two outlets together and then wired the main wire to the first outlet...screwed together and i was done
(yea if only it was that quick and easy)
here is a professional doing it the way that can actually be followed
needless to say im saving the second line for tomorrow .....very mentally tired

Peace

dagobaker · #11 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 08:36 AM

pics to come
First time I'll b able to dial in humidity and temps
Hopefully my yield will increase

Zigzagman · #12 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 08:46 AM

Nice job Dago, I am really glad you down sized and reevaluated. Congrats...

#13 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 09:10 AM

so now ya got power.....what you gonna run for lighting?

dagobaker · #14 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 09:20 AM

Well have one line done. One more to still do today
My humidity was out of control
Pushing 70%. I had it down to 43% but figure 50% should b fine
Think it will take a few days to tweak the settings with the air conditioner and dehumidifier both running

#15 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 09:25 AM

70 humidity is perfect umtill your in the last 1/3 of your flower cycle....i kept my room at 82% until week 8. check out my thread..we got pretty similar rooms

#16 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 09:27 AM

youll wanna keep your room alittle more moist(higher humidity level) for veg than flower if ya can. i left mine the same way up till the end with no ill effects

dagobaker · #17 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 09:35 AM

I'll b vegging in tents in another room
Probably b a littler higher

#18 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 09:47 AM

well 70% in your flower room is fine for 2/3rd your grow.. you only need to get it down to about 40-50% for the last weeks of flower to prevent mold.

dagobaker · #19 (**permalink**) 03-17-2009, 10:01 AM

I had bud mold in the greenhouse last year. Couldn't stop it
Might get a sulphur burner this year. Use it during veg to stop it before it starts
Lost a ton due to mites and mold
Doing beneficial insects too

I don't think there's any benefit to vaporing for mold, a head of time. Aspergillus is a airborne and comes in constantly with your fresh air. It's when the buds are in their final weeks, they are most susceptible to it. Beneficials are a different story but, they don't mix with fuming either.Peace.
