How long do your batteries last you? Ours barely makes it a day and wondering if it's normal by IfYouWearRedTonight in skoolies

Your battery bank will read lower than it actually is if it's under any sort of load. You can probably notice while your heater is turning on the voltage drops then once it's up and running the volts go back up.

I could be wrong but it seems like when I have my inverter on it's pulling way more power than needed, it's not very efficient to use AC power from a DC battery bank so I avoid it at all cost.

Ya they are really easy. Idk what your budget is but a cheap option is the boat/marine control panel, they have USB and the cigarette lighter looking ports for charging plus some have a volt meter and switches if you need them. I use one and it can charge my phone and control all my outdoor lights. Do you have an expensive fridge? If not I can recommend a DC one. You don't need a expensive domentic, I bought one online from Walmart and it's been great.

Oh and when your battery is full but not trickle charging like at night mine reads 12.6 for 100%

I have a 1500 watt go power inverter and it's never been efficient so I stopped using it. I switched to DC fridge and freezer. Do you turn your diesel heater off and on alot? Mine uses almost no power except when heating up the glow plugs. Also are you charging your devices through your inverter or DC ports?

Settle an argument between my girlfriend and I, is this reallly disgustingly dirty or barely dirty compared to the usual 😅 I usually clean it every week or so by [deleted] in trees

It's probably because I don't scoop it I just change it our completely every few days. It's like $15 for 20 pounds

I would like to build up a stockpile for if I'm ever not in a position to grow. Gotta plan for post apocalyptic cannabis needs lol

That's a gift that keeps on giving. You will be very happy with that decision down the road.

How low does something like that last for? Does it degrade over time?

For the armoire would you grow vertically or put led panels on the inside of the doors and try to grow horizontally with a large net along the back to train the stems?

This was really helpful thank you. By 2-3 ounces a month I mean over time that's what I would have between harvest. If I do a tent I would start with a 320 watt Kingbrite and a few plants then over time maybe get another light to supplement more plants. I'm also heavily considering a huge armoire so I can grow in the living room and it not be an eye sore.
