I thought those 277 volt systems needed 277 volts to work not 120.

they do, i think thats the reason for changing it.

But if you do not have 277 volts as your source voltage, connecting a 277 volt light (usually a ballast) to 120 volt will not work. Conversely, if you hook up a 120 volt light or appliance to 277 volts, it will quickly become toast.

I got the new comercial bluelab PH/PPM/Temp meter today,heres some pix(WOW with a 5 year warr!!)

JCJ: Take a look at my NLxBB in the 7-8 week and on the 5th day of flushing with PH corrected R/O which the PPM is now down to below 200PPM.

The PH runoff is perfect so is this a normal mineral dif. or what?

Got these fully submersible saltwater pumps from a ship salvege place for use together in a BB controller so if one goes the other will still work,going to use an in-line flow meter so i will know if a cleaning is needed or a pump goes out.Have ya seen that type before?

it looks normal to me, its gettng to its end, so leaves should be changing colors & dieing. it is ok to use molasass during your flushes & watering, it will beef up buds a little & possibly add flavor 1tsp per gal. nope never seen those pumps b4, they look pretty powerful

Heres my babies at 30 days old(cutting
was ~3" long),now at 8" and six leaf blades at the top with nodes at 1/4" apart.Using 4 bulbs of the T5.

[ocitown]

Fourth flush with 6.8 PH R/O only(on 7th week clones) and runoff is 6.8 with a PPM of 40-100 and still dropping. I hope i can get it to zero but the soil will proly still show something.

ok so i have just started the germination process where i put 8 seeds in a couple of layers of wet paper towls and put them in tupperware. (read this on a different thread) and i was wondering how long it would take for them to break out of the seed and the root to start coming out?

You will see a tap root in one to four days,keep it warm and dark too.
