Another Brix In The Wall Part 2: Hawk Clones Under Max Yield!

[Duggan]

Ya....anything over 13 or so amps is really pushing a 15 amp circuit. Its ok to draw that much continuously BUT the wiring and all associated devices must be up to code and be in good shape.
As Krip eluded too...try and keep max. amps on a 15 amp circuit to no more than 10...its a good practice. My 2 circuits are both around 8 to 9 amps each...when everything is rockin!

Ok, how do I know how many amps my light is drawing. I have two 20 amp circuits in my grow room, 1 for each tent. The Wi-Fi plug had my max yield (650 w) in one outlet and a small window shaker AC in the other.

Look at the UL tag on the light and it should list the # of amps it draws.

You had the light and AC in the same timer? The AC will draw a lot when it kicks on. That could be what was overloading it.

I'll check when lights go on. Thanks Krip!

Yes. In hindsight, that probably wasn't a smart move to plug them both in.

 

[Duggan]

Ween,... AC is a motor load. Please keep all motor and heater loads on a separate circuit than your lighting. Exceptions are the lil fans we all use...these are perfectly ok and safe to leave on our lighting circuits. Leaving motor and heater loads on the same circuit will ALWAYS cause issues. Cheers Ween.

Thanks h00k! Cell phone pics, flash on, lights off for a few seconds.

Thanks Penny!


I noticed the squat A5/tilt has 11 bladed leaves. Still not exactly sure how she'll get up potted, I'll have to figure it out as I do it.

Things are looking great bud! Going to be lots of buds soon!

Thanks Yeti! How are your girls doing? Don't think I've seen an update from you for a bit.....?

 

[limpfingerz207]

loving the green and they sure do look happy! I wish mine was happy as yours haha.

KEep up the good work my man

Moving slow still. I have had other things going on that have had me preoccupied. Between work, and dealing with kids not being in school and car issues, the plants have kind of taken a back seat. All of my money is going to other facets of life so I cannot do much about temps (the biggest thing slowing them down I think) other than wait them out.

 

[Pennywise]

Weather should be changing soon.

 

[TheGreenYeti]

Well we got 4-6 inches of snow over night and then it was in the 50s this afternoon

 

[Pennywise]

Dogwoods are in full bloom here.

 

[TheGreenYeti]

I had been seeing some spring growth start but we shall see how this goes. Usually we have snow into April, it was just looking like that would not be the case this year.

 

[Pennywise]

Here it’s all bets off until May settles in. Like you we’ll be snowing one day and 70 degrees the next.

 

[weenmeoff]

Gotcha Yeti! It'll be warmin up soon. Looking forward to seeing your plants take off. Mine are starting to speed up a bit. Did some cross country skiing today and hoping I can go tomorrow too but it's melting fast.

Pic I was gonna enter in pic of month but they changed the rules and you have to have it in by the 15th so maybe next month. Cutting in plain water.
