I think there pretty neat but I really see once I have them up and running they still cover a 5x5 area so the idea of be able to run both Mh/Hps bulbs peaked my interest.
I think there pretty neat but I really see once I have them up and running they still cover a 5x5 area so the idea of be able to run both Mh/Hps bulbs peaked my interest.I love the nanos. I replaced a burned out digital 1000 parabolic/hortilux in my old room with a single 1k nano and I have been running that for 2 runs.This is the first all d/e room I have built, I'm excited. What you think of those double 600's I almost bought a couple but said fuck it and went with the 1k's let us know how u like them
So what did you have to buy to change them over to work with 240. My ballast have like a little transformer thing like a laptop only place to unplug the cord is after that black box thing. Im adding light controller next. I know with most traditional ballast just pick up a new cord plug it in. If I did this with these the little transformer wouldnt be there. OR is there no need to change anything?I run nanolux og ballast. have had 5 1000's for several years. ....no problems. Plugged one in when i first got em.....120 plug in 240 light controller and blew it up. Sent it back and had a new one in three days.
Did nano tell you thats what fried the ballast? Unless there is a different plug for the cord in the ballast (like the old magnetics) then the ballasts switch between 120 and 240 internally. We have been running 120 cords on 30 quantum's for 3 years and never had a issuethey make a 120 and a 240 plug that fits into a light controller box. if you're going to run 240 ,you should get to 240 plugs
I just looked at my new nano d/e's and they say on the side not to change cords from 240 to 120. I don't really see what the cord has to do with it but I don't think these ballasts will work on 120v hence why they don't want you to use a 120 plug but I really don't know. I have never had a issue with the 120v plugs in the past the quantum's don't care, we just change the neutral wire to the second leg of 240 when we wire the outlets and it has always worked fine. I guess new shit to learn with new products. Thanks for the heads uphttps://www.thcfarmer.com/community/members/r-dawg.74420/they make a 120 and a 240 plug that fits into a light controller box. if you're going to run 240 ,you should get to 240 plugs
Sounds shitty. We will see what's up I know of a few big places running them and I haven't heard anything worse then gavitas. Texaskid says he has something like 40 gavitas and 40 nanos and says has seen no difference in failure rate. I have never been a fan of the plastic gavitas sockets or the vertical ballast.
But who knows all this shit is made in China. Maybe the 10 year old kid that assembled yours didn't do as good as the kid that put his together
Thank you. I try to keep it as simple as I can. It is easy to turn some PVC into a cluster fuck, seems like it is harder to make something simpler with less parts.Great build! The drip is clean and beautifully done of course! :happy:
Looking real nice in here now :)A couple more
Thank you. We got quite a bit more done today, I had some help. This build should be getting rapped up and planted out by the end of next week if all goes well. Minus the second a/cLooking real nice in here now :)
There is a good 200 gallon reservoir underneath with about 10 tilapia. It's is a flood and drain Aquaponic set up right in the middle of downtown San Diego.Looks like they are happy. And nobody even pays attention to these things. Everyone with a acre or more has a container or semi trailer in their back yard
