The Crystal Palace is back, now with a Spiderfarmer SE5000.

Due diligence. Found the fault, loose wire connection in the light itself. Back in action. Thank God wasn't looking forward to that swap. And the plants under the light look dope as hell.

Gonna take this opportunity to pull some leaves.

Crisis averted. For now.View attachment 1204278

They look healthy as can be.

[Observationist]

is it possible it was over tightened?

or manufacture fucked something up.

anyways, glad you did not have to go through all trouble of the wiring and putting a different light up.

also looking forward to seeing any differences between the two sides at the end, in weight etc.

I mentioned to @ComfortablyNumb earlier that you needed to check to connections...He says, "Db's a smart guy, he'll figure it out!" Which, you did, glad alls good again!

Nah I had it on and loosened the connector, then pulled the wire up and out of the fixture, and as soon as I had tension on the cord the light came on. Then I tightened the locknut and backed out of the room

Offering alms for forgiveness?
I knew you would fugger it out.
We're too much alike. "Damnit Jim! I'm a Grower not an electrician!"

I'll be honest, wish I had fucked around with it more before running out and buying another light

Ah well. I'll find a use for the DEHPS on the next grow. And the whole thing was only a buck fifty.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Lol huh?

edit, re-read. (Alms = the gift for the poor at the temple.)

Lookin' good Db, as always! Which side looks the frostiest? From your video it looked like the SF side, but as you were on your way out, the other side looked pretty frosty too!lol

I like to autopsy all electronics before discarding them. You never know what a fresh battery or actually being plugged in to charge can do for these things.

But I'll learn to do electrical if I have to dammit!

Not always easy being handy haha. In the last 24 hrs I've repaired bad wiring on the fly on one of my plows, fixed a running toilet, installed a shaker on my salt spreader, sorted out this thing (I won't say its fixed), made a multipurpose beacon light with both a 12v plug and alligator clips for battery connection,.. I dont do well with idle hands, but sometimes I'm just like fuck i wish someone else would do all this shit for me. But few people I know, know how!!

At the same time I find a lot of value in having useful skills and wouldn't want it to be any other way. I like to dig myself out of whatever hole I find myself in.

Why do I get a feeling there is a story there?

Totally. That's why I love homesteading.

Kinda like when your computer client asked you why their "cup holder" wasn't working any more?

*Edit: "Cup holder" aka CD holder/player!

Nah, it never happened.....

We've all had 'that' client.
He calls me at 2am. I answer and he proceeds to tell me how this piece of junk computer isn't worth the money, yada yada.. So, I ask, what happened? He says the lights all went out when he pressed the any key. Turns out braddah had a power outage in his neighborhood. His timing was perfect.
