Shit is Blowing Up...!
holla all T5 growers, I have a Q for ya.
a bro just gave me a 4ft 4 tube T5 but the clown cut the cable 6"from the unit.
So it needs to have a new plug fitted. Also there is no on.off switch
(would that be on the cable? or not needed?)
One problem, there are 4 wire's in the flex on the T5, brown,blue,green/yellow and Black? Not usually a black?
How do i wire that? whats the 4 th wire for ? a switch?

I've never used more than 3 gal nursery pots.... other than 5gal Homer buckets for DWC... and I only did that for one run.
Just completed a DWC run under the 'Big Bulb' in the sky in a converted GH (sorta converted) tin shed. I cheated just a little by plumbing the buckets together with a 5th bucket for a reservoir. I didn't recirculate the water, just ran an airstone in each bucket to keep them from going Anerobic. The Res was plumbed to a swamp cooler float valve to keep the water levels constant, and was able to feed the four plants separately that way.
If I do DWC again I will use the 'connected' method inside as well.
The 3 gal nursery pots to get very root bound by cut time.
P,S. $.33 a KWH? That's highway robbery! Time to go Solar I'm thinking. Where the heck are you anyway? I thought $.16 per kwh was high, up here in the mountains. DAM!!!!! Paying $.08 in Denver for penalty use.
I also use the 432 watt T5s. Normally two plants under one light 3 gal each, and flat-topped.
