Hello everyone,
Just another guy here trying to make the best outta what he has. I'm operating in the northeast where things are becoming a little more relaxed. Been doing it for a fair bit longer though. Inside and out, I enjoy all aspects of the process and feel I can always learn more.
I run a small set up, 2x1000 in hoods vented hoods, sealed room with bottled co2, dehumidifier, AC, coco, plastic pots, Canna nutes, and a veg area, as well a closet for the clones. It all works pretty good, but I'm still reaching for a few personal goals.
I am a tinkerer, and enjoy figuring things out, making things on my own and saving money in the process. I also enjoy helping others with my handy work, and know that I will address a problem that many of us have. More power!
I was risking popping breakers and knew about boxes that allowed you to use the 240 volt lines in the house, so I checked into them and the costs were a bit steep, and they didn't seem to fit what I needed. I wanted something with a long cord, so I could reach to where I was setting up.
I put up this little article on how I made a 240 relay timer box that will safely run 4x1000 watt ballasts. You could configure it for more it you wanted to. Check it out at my site (no not spam haha) http://www.themorningroast.com/heavy...r-control-box/
The google search and ads pay for my site, they are not spam either. If you have any questions about how to make the box I might be able to help

I am also developing a very neat environmental controller that should prove to be cheaper and more powerful that anything I have ever seen on the market. But then, mine won't have a fancy sticker label on it either. I like to talk alot. Not to say I don't act. But you will notice I chat a bunch when I do a post. haha. Well, hello, and peace!
