Tnelz thread about whatever!

I think I might need to tie a few more tops, or top em down to the last node so they aren't too tall. I gotta get the stuff for the frame for my scrog net.

@BlackSheepOG ......I am about to by all the parts by mid next week and I am going to do some reading on basic stuff but then I might need some of your help to get everything done except connecting it to the main like you said. That way I don't have to deal with and "live" electricity. Would that be cool?

Also would any of the wires or parts I need change if my main would be 200amps instead of 150amps? The Sub would still be 60amp or 70amp, whatever we decided.....

Now see I could agree with that, I love to trade my services for other services, but in lazs case his friend owes him and he's still charging him that much so I don't see that as fair, especially when he's offering to pay for all the parts. I understand he's gotta make a living just like the rest of us but it's also nice to help out one another from time to time.

Thats exactly the point i was trying to make....Im not trying to hurt anyone elses pockets....It's okay he can just find somewhere else to get that good good and he can kiss the prices i was giving him and the credit i gave him goodbye

Hey @BlackSheepOG does Home Depot have one of these. Its a 15amp outlet that has 120/240 universal outlet so I can run my ballast on 240v but with my same 120v plug since the ballast lets you do that....I have been looking and can't find one. Might have to order it off a diff site......

First time I've seen one, looks like it was something released recently, I'm assuming since the growth in the canna business that all kinds of new stuff has come out. Kinda curious how it works and if it's worth a shit, haven't been able to find much on it. I'm wondering how it's wired being both 120 and 240.

heres a good video to watch.he talks about whether or not you will need a second ground rod depending on where your new sub panel is located which is real important.

 

[basseye]

heres how to install a 220v outlet once you have your subpanel done

home depot does carry that style outlet but i prefer this style because it wont allow you to forget what voltage it is and plug in the wrong shit lol.http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-20-Amp-Single-Outlet-Light-Almond-R56-05821-0TS/202066679.
but if you do go with that other style outlet make sure you label it 220v so nobody tries to plug in a 110v item and cook it.

it just means it can be wired one way or the other not at the same time.but it just has the normal lugs on the back like any 110 or 220 outlet,just a universal plug on the front side.

Yea these are the ones I linked him last night and are familiar with them.

Ok that's what I was thinking, I was wondering. Seems like I'd just go with normal 240 plugs and 120 plugs just so I don't accidentally plug the wrong thing in due to forgetting.
