If all goes well, this will mean something over the next few 'days' hopefully. Arduino coders, input is welcomed and appreciated. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

I also have a pi lying around, but again, the coding.... Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

I'm lazy to do the coding side Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

The issue with this way is you will need to power it up at the exact time you want your light cycle to start due to the lack of an RTC module. This could however become an interesting little project over time with addition of a real time clock module, temp and humidity sensor and LCD you could potentially control Temps and humidity by controlling fans based on readings Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Allright, I'll give this a try tonight or tomorrow, my thinking is as per rough diagram for those who can make sence of it. Code should be something like the following for 12/12: digitalWrite(RELAY1,LOW); delay(43200000); digitalWrite(RELAY1,HIGH) delay(43200000) Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

It probably still will because the emergency light switches on when mains are disconnected. The digital timer doesn't power the lights itself, but relies on an external power source. The purpose of using the arduino is that once the 220v disconnects, the 12v portion will remain active, keeping the light cycles constant, even though during load shedding you won't run at full capacity.

Actually, one could use the arduino board as digital timer for both 12v and 220v. The relay boards should be able to run from multiple inputs. I'll see if I get a chance over the weekend to work on this coding and will share if successful. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

I haven't really put any though into this as loadshitting hasn't been an issue... Until it was... My thought process is as follows... 12v LED strips, connected to a battery, perhaps via an arduino connected to a 9v battery just to power the unit. One could connect an RTC board to ensure time is always correct, breaking out to relays for on and off. Lights will run on a 12v battery, perhaps alarm battery. These lights will run at the same time as primary light cycles, however, if power goes out, the arduino will ensure that the 12v strips remain on. May not help the flowering process, but definitely help not to stress the plants too much. Digital timer will still be needed for primary lights so they don't lose time. When power comes back on, the 'sun' will simply come out behind the 'clouds' again Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

What stuff do you need to make for the dogs? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Speaking of LED. 200W COB available Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Govt gives us permission to grow and then take away our electricity. Wtf man Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Love the colour scheme. Good job man Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

In the past I used copy/paste from growguru, followed by dipping into dyraroot 2. I'll say 95% success rate. I like the gel idea for the powder to stick on. Not in need of clones atm but mommy plant has gotten a little out of control for my liking and I don't just chuck potential clones. I'll give diluted honey a go for S&Gs Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

With the right rooting hormone you should have roots from day 8 and ready for transplant between day 10 - 12 External facties also come into play though, humidity, temp etc etc Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Anyone look into this yet? I read that diluted honey or aloe juice works well. Is this exercise worth it or is commercial rooting gells the way to go? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

I've also just decided to start perpetual growing. Will buy a second tent tuis coming weekend and start flowering the currently vegging plants. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

That's how I understand it. Once the pistols appear, it should be ready to into flowering Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Day 1 is when you switch your light cycle to 12/12 Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

What nutes are you using? Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

The winner is a newcomer :) :) :) That in itself proves there's no manipulation. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Keep going, they're going to fatten up soon. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

I agree fully. You can shorten light cycle and it may finish sooner, but it comes at a heavy cost. Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

We're still too new in this game. Maybe one day, a leafly like app will fix this Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Check electrical wholesalers, ie ARB, Voltex etc Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk
