I wish I had a long enough extension cord to help Cap out.

Id love to see someone actually try and make this work lol.


dumb lesson time, because im that guy that ruins gestures apparently. I ruin everything


high voltage lines are made of carbon rather then metal, and are completely uninsulated by anything but air because they have to be. The insulator actually controls the speed of power transmission, and the conductor controls the efficiency. The actual energy being used to do work isnt actually electrons either. Common misunderstanding. Electrons have a negative charge and move toward positive. When you complete a circuit on 110v the electrons are actually moving from negative to positive at only a few inches per second. It takes time for them to physically bore their way through the holes of a crystal lattice. This slow electron tunneling process shoots positively charged potential down the field around the conductor at insane speeds, which is the actual energy we use to do work. It's flowing in the magnetic field around the wire, in the space, and you just have to come into contacts with the force carriers/givers (the electrons) while grounded within the conductor to access this charged magnetic field full of potential. This is why the insulator of a wire controls the speed of electricity transmission, while the conductor material dictates the efficiency of energy transmission. Being shocked electrically is actually you giving *away* your electrons in exchange for energy potential passing through a load/resistor/capacitor (you) to earth..

You can also be shocked by some AC without being grounded, and this *fact* is actually the fundamental operating principal of a dielectric capacitor.

A pvc wrapped drop cord wont even pump 110v a half mile before the wire melts and it flips a breaker because the wire itself is acting as a resistor in the circuit, unfortunately. Voltage will drop as per resistance on the line, delivering the energy into the wire of the drop cord itself. If its crappy enough copper clad aluminum, only takes a few hundred feet of it to flip a 10a breaker with a cell phone charger and potentially melt the insulators. If you;ve ever had a drop cord melt on ya or flip a breaker unexpectedly, its because you are using too long of a drop cord for the load that is attached, or you need a cord with higher quality conductors and probably ptfe insulated not pvc.

Leaving a long cord coiled while using it is also bad drop cord form. You are creating an inductor when you do that, and increasing unnecessary loading of the circuit.


But Its the thought that counts lmao .



Im sorry im like this everyone.

I live on the other side of the world. I meant it more like "I wish I could do something to help out".

Pretty interesting though.

oh i know exactly what you meant. Sometimes i just cant help myself but to ramble off some information. I fairly aggressively seek and share information both

and the drop cord thing may help someone extend the life of their own equipment or tools if they read it. A $60 drop cord is measurably better in demonstrable ways then an el cheapo from china made with crap CCA. Ways that will effect your wallet and equipment life over time both.

I read that whole spiel…. I’d read more good info I like learning shit that I’ll never use in life for some reason

Little garden tour, smokin some cali dream after the remnants of beryl came barreling through we got a fuck ton of rain, about 10 of my in ground pepper plants are so over watered I’m not sure if they’ll recover. They look a little better than yesterday surprisingly but they are straight down drooped lol, hopefully they recover as it dries back, I get a river right through this section of the garden and it was like a whitewater river, poor things got water boarded yeah I’ll be happy when I do all the peppers in 10 gallon pots next year lol

It’s just this spot in the garden, always super wet, might switch it up and put either zucchini or melons in these exact spots next year to benefit storm the consistent super high soil moisture

My very first grow was Pineapple Express, I had to chop some in half! I'm not biased at all in saying those look SPECTACULAR. How you diggin the Mars? (SP 3000?) And where did you grab your beans from, those are hard to find today.

I am not sure if I can recommend mars hydro due to poor customer service, but I do do like the lights. I had a TS1000 stop working and it was a bit more effort just to contact them never mind resolve the issue. Ultimately I just took the loss and bought another light. All in all I run an ES1500 in my 2x2, an FCE3000 and SP 150 in the 3x3 and a TS1000 in the 1x3 . I also have a spare TS 600 and TS1000.
As far as Pineapple Express goes it’s a bag seed from 2019 from a couple of ounces that my brother and I picked through. It was one of my first successful grows and I’ve grown it out three times to harvest and I’m currently on number four and five, all have had wildly varying phenotypes. This current one in flower is very odd and I’m not sure if it’s going to produce any thing decent at all, she’s a few weeks behind her roommates in the 3x3 and barely has thrown any pistols.

Yes but will he fall asleep on the job like his grandfather, Rip van Winkle??

100% agreed that’s what’s over my frostettes is a FC-E8000 I’ve had for about 2 years it’s been flowering this tent minus a run with a phlizon FD6500 but besides that she’s been running since I got her pretty much

But nonexistent customer service for the most part

kid reminds me of someone hahaha

I had a sears gamefisher painted in camouflage, I named her the Fowl Hooker, she tried to kill me when she started to leak in Webhannet harbor up in Wells Maine. That bitch!!!

 

[PlumberSoCal2]

...but besides that she’s been running since I got her pretty much

5 years ago my granny started running 5 miles a day. Today we have no idea where she is...

Mine actually did that dementia walked off into the woods, couldn’t find her for like 9 hours, I was ridin my 4 wheeler everywhere all my buddies were lookin, police, everything, so as were looking my dad gets a call from a local garden center, (we know them spent… a LOT of money over the years there so they had our number on our account) they say hey we just wanted to call because your mother has been in here all day just looking at all the flowers then someone talked to her and realized she was just zonin lol

We talked to her after and she said she just wanted to look at the flowers, we were surprised she knew the way and walked that whole way

Man you are way too smart to be a groundskeeper, but you probably enjoy the work more than you would working in a laboratory or office setting right? I’m complimenting you by the way, not trying to insult you. College educated or autodidact?

My grandfather had a very brief stint with dementia for a week or two before an unknown aneurysm in his brain caused his death while sleeping. He had an episode or two at the gas station and downtown, was driving around in his truck and couldn’t remember where he was. I wish I had been able to get to know him better before he died, he was a great man.

Thanks for sharing that about Mars customer service cuz they were on my shortlist, I'm in the market for my first LED light

 

[Putthataway]

There’s also multiple posts over the years about mars starting fires.

I think ultimately the general consensus on this site would be a spider farmer light. I wish they would get their heads out of their asses at mars hydro because I really like the lights they make.

Anyone interested in stocking up on some old school strains should check out the sale they’re having right now at NASC, I do a lot of business with these folks and I have never been disappointed with anything that I got from them. They are a somewhat local business out of Waterville Maine and always throw a freebie or two your way with each purchase.
