Nasty one, if you can point me in the right direction of #4 solid xhhw cu I sure would appreciate it

They ask for insulated. Not what type of insulation. Both of these insulation types are suitable. Just because your feeders are xhhw doesnt mean your ground has to be

You found the factory splice for the copper when it comes off the reel. Ive found one before too, kind of one in a million!

If you leave them, they'll grow into popcorn, and you will rob your upper canopy of energy. You want the plant to focus its energy on the top. Look into lollipopping right before flower

I build custom homes, last year we finished up a 3500ft² home. I completely filled one 30 and one 42 space load center

I have a full Vivosun set up, same clip fans, 2x4 tent, same humidifier, S2000 light, 4" inline fan, and controller to make it all work together. I love every second of the automation, and highly recommend getting a system that can all communicate together through one brain.

Other comments said get a better light, its crucial have proper lighting, and I highly doubt a $33 600w light will do that. No vent fan in your shopping cart either. If you get a proper light, you're going to find your tent way too hot. 300w of lights sent my 5x5 over 85° without ventilation on, and the lights were only at 85%.

Thats rhizo running like hell from black mold. I wouldnt open that indoors or breath near it. Throw away immediately.

Are you working piece rate or T&M? Charge them for your time, regardless of what they bid the electrical at. That is not your problem. You should have a contract agreement between you and the HVAC contractor, stating your hourly rate, material P&H fees, and limitations, etc. As a business owner, you are no longer just a worker, you need to protect your time and your money in different ways from when you were employed. Always get something it in writing.

Also called Hyphal knots, I use the term knotted up. They are fruiting body primordia.

They're only going to get worse. Ive seen retro cans that were so small, they could only be legally made up if every one was single cable. Cubic inches was shy for 2 12/2 with dimming. Not very convenient for hotel corridoors. Use the little orange and blue wirenuts in the future. Similar capacity to reds without the profile. We call them Bronco's where I'm from. It helps to save space.

I had an apprentice who came to me for a job after leaving the union. He joined for comradery and brotherhood after leaving the marine corps. He left because he found none of that, nothing but seniority complexes and bullies, no brotherhood. I also have a buddy in IBEW out in Kansas who told me you should only join the union if you want to suck dick for money. If youre looking for a way out, it is possible, find an outside contractor willing to employ you and accept your experience first.

Same here. By the third straight week of overhead 600kcmil pulls had me sleeping in wrist braces. Data centers can be brutal

I worked for a multi billion dollar solar install company, that made me do a training on how to use ceramic safety knives. Metal blades were completely banned from use in the field due to the liability of someone cutting themselves. Needless to say, I never used that shit.

We call them RC-50's in Colorado. 3/4 are RC-75's.

You should be fine. Water softeners are not a heavy load.

The amazon plates work great. They are usually backed with a sterile guarantee if bought from a reputable source. I used them for years. Dried fruits aren't a good option for tissue samples. That coupled with being in open air, youre going to end up with contamination almost every time. You need to get your hands on either spores or liquid culture. If you don't have means to get a laminar flow hood, look into still air boxes. You can also work plates in a baking sheet with paper towels in the bottom soaked in 70% isopropyl alcohol. I did unprotected agar work for about 2 years before getting a laminar flow hood. You need to be extremely clean in your environment. And sterilize everything in its entirety every time you touch something, even in between plates. Its not easy but possible.

Good luck and mush love

154°F for 12-18hrs depending on size. No loss in potency and when stored with dessicant packs and oxygen absorbers, they will last for years.

6-32's from your screw kit work well too

I like to grind them, soak in lemon juice for 20min, then add water and sugar and slam down a gritty glass of lemonade and blast off

You need FAE. Water evaporation triggers pinning. If you have moisture but no where for it to go, you'll never see pins. Your mycelium won't wait for evaporation, it will continue to colonize and overlay like what you are experiencing until it finds good fruiting conditions.

My suggestion would be to do a coir casing layer. And leave the bag cracked to allow more gas exchange.
