PLEASE, cover all exposed wires with electrical tape. PLEASEEEEEEEEE
I like what you have going, I always wanted to start a rubber maid grow but I just never did so ill watch you then I might start one. Good luck and keep us posted.
Oh and once you get to 50 post you will be able to post pictures instead of a link or so I've heard
hey i was planning on using wall mounts(A 4 socket with Y's so a total of 8 cfl 23w) like you did for your tub grow but i dont know how to hook up the wires....if you could shoot me a PM about how to do that or anyone for the matter of fact, i would REALLY appreciate it.
good luck on your grow
Hey Bvrian!:thumbsup: This is very simple. From my experience it's all a science of matching the colors. As usuall, black is always the grounding wire, typically red is positive and im not exactly sure of what the white wire is but I always hook that up last AFTER i've completed the other colors. Each electrical componet used has a diffrent wire sceme therefore I would have to see pictures of what your using and I will be better able to walk you through it. Im no electrician by any means, but ive been "riggin" things for many years and (cross my fingers) have had no issues with anything. Post some pics of what your trying to hook up and I will help, and im sure there are a lot of others who will se the post and help too.:thumbsup:
;)OK folks. After a very trying 2 weeks of fighting with temps and security I was finnaly able to post my girls under some light. I've had the issue with the box getting pretty warm in there. It was around 92 degrees after only 8 hours of light running. So i've installed a larger fan and that brought temps down to 61-67 degrees and that's running them all the time.:jointsmile:
here are some pics of the girl after a week or so. http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/h...al/2-12-08.jpg

:hippy::jointsmile:once again don't pay attention to the dates on the pix. I planted these on 1/24. So I think there off to a great start.
:jointsmile:
If you guys know of anything else I could be doing please jump in and let me know.
lookin good!
I checked the wires and there are a total of 3 wires, A black wire, A white wire, and a Green wire. The black and white wire i believe are the 2 power supplies and both come out of the back of the fixture. Then the green one i think is for grounding. What kind of power plug do i need to buy??
Like your wee box set up man. Your plants are lookin pretty good too.. Good luck..
What kind of weed are you growing?
Looks great! Good luck!
Whats up man!? Ok, to answer the question on what should you use to power is an extension cord. They work great!!! Just spice it and match the colors. Like I said if you post some pics so I can see exactly what you have I can better help you. But it always works better so I can see what you have. Post some man and ill try my best:):thumbsup:
