WiFi OG & BPPK

OK folks this is a run I just did after updating my room with some new equipment, first the update, I replaced my magnetic ballasts with some new digital ballasts, I think they are the best ones on the market right now, with less returns and they are totally silent, no fans and they run the same temps as the ones with fans in them, here is a couple of pics of them for ya.......GM

I am about to harvest like any day now and want to look into some new light set up wanna up grade my hood as well as the ballasts what do u recommend for the hood I was gonna go with the xxxl hood but all my boys are rocking those.Slap up some shots of the harvest your talking about when you get a chance.

New plugs

OK before these things will work I need to change the plugs on the lights, so they work on the new ballasts like this, first cut off the ends then get some butt connectors, then strip the wire and connect the new plug to the light like this, after I make the connections I like to rap each wire in electrical tape, then rap them all together and ur done good as new........GM

Carbon filter

Ok next is the carbon filter, this filter is almost 7 yrs old to and still works like brand new, first take it down then take it outside and wash it out like this, first lay it down and wash from the inside out, make sure to wash this way first real good then u can lightly spray off the outside, DO NOT USE A PRESSURE WASHER to wash ur filter its too much pressure and will ruin ur filter, then wash out the sock that covers the filter and then set outside in the hot sun for atleast 2 days to dry, the cold water and the hot sun will re-activate the carbon in the filter, then re-hang and ur good to go...........GM

Very interesting about re-using your charcoal filter. Just so I get this straight; You are not replacing the charcoal?
Will have to dry it out in the room, as sun is a rare occurrence here in the upcoming winter of interior of British Columbia:-)

In regards to your ballasts, they sound similar to BC Ballasts that I am about to purchase,

Probably all made in the same factory, just the next assembly line up :-)

Thanks for the great info GM!

Security system

Ok back when I built this room I got this system from Homedeopt and it lasted about 5 yrs, so I went out and got a bigger better one it has 8 cameras, I have 2 in the flower room and one in the mother room, and 5 around my house so I know whats going on at all times, + I have alarms hooked to it also, u can hook up any alarm to the system it is sweet and works very well, before I changed the mag ballasts I got mega RF interference and could hardly see the room, but when I put in the new digies no RF interference at all........GM
