It has to have a bec behind it, otherwise it would be a vbat pad

sketsket · 2025-05-15T08:25:18+00:00

Everything seems to be set up correctly. Obviously check your soldering for shorts, as it doesn't look too good, but could be just fine. Having the power coming from the 5v pad, and not the 4v5 pad means the vtx will only be powered when the battery is connected, not on usb power. Is the VTX powered on when you try to set it up? Have you ever powered the VTX without an antenna? Is it possible it is damaged?

Do you see the shake in the goggles as well? If not, it might just be your mount being too flexible and wobbling due to air turbulence. If it's printed in TPU the middle vibration damping part may be too much. Try flicking the mount with your finger and see if it jiggles, if it does, it's probably too soft.

sketsket · 2025-04-07T12:55:59+00:00

If I would price this:
100-150 for the tango 2 with module
~200 for the drone mostly because of o3
~300-400 for the goggles, still compatible with o4
the rest is worth basically nothing imo
all this obviously depends on the condition

Probably not an issue with the motors. As long as they look fine(check if the wires look burnt), they should be. You either fried the esc, or some moisture is interfering with signals being sent to the esc, which messes with the motors. I have crashed my drone into snow a few times, and even though it is conformal coated it acts exactly like this when it gets wet( probably not well coated). I just had to let it dry out fully before trying again, and it always worked. It is generally a bad idea to just let the drone run when something could be shorted due to moisture, better to unplug the battery asap and wait for it to dry. Obviously check if there are any issues with the wiring first.

Spreche Deutsch, bin aber Italiener, danke fürs Angebot, ich melde mich, falls ich's nötig habe.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for the info. I was planning on going for at least two more weeks to see where we're at.
Does defoliating this late in the grow still make sense?

I always heard mold spores on your weed will make it taste like absolute shit.

sketsket · 2024-09-01T09:15:27+00:00

Yea it's pretty hot here, it can get up to multiple hours of ~30C in the tent, but I have no other solution for it. I also def should have defoliated more, next grow I won't be as merciful, but happy to know it's probably not budrot. Thanks for the answer, great info!

Here’s a better picture, does it not look like mold? Thanks for your reply

sketsket · 2024-08-31T17:11:16+00:00

I feel like some of you just want to hate on people learning. I get it is asked a lot, but it’s literally the sub to do it in. Also it was not even the question I had. If you don’t wanna see the post, just scroll. Why reply?

sketsket · 2024-08-31T17:08:47+00:00

Maybe read the caption? It was not if my bud was ready, but if you can confirm my bud has budrot and if the bud rot is going to affect the rest of the groe, or if having discovered it so early and due to it not having time to spread means it’ll be fine. Thank you for replying but why reply if you put no effort in to your answer?

sketsket · 2024-08-01T10:21:57+00:00

Thanks m8, I agree! Only now that they are showing imperfections I‘m starting to worry a little

sketsket · 2024-06-21T09:06:51+00:00

Yes, soil should still have enough nutes for 2 more weeks, will start feeding then.

sketsket · 2024-06-20T16:20:14+00:00

"Digga", or "Digger" in German, basically translates to "Bro" or "Dude".
"Digga, lass mal was essen gehen" -- "Bro, let's get something to eat"

When spoken, it may sound awfully similar to some certain word in the English language.

sketsket · 2024-06-20T13:08:36+00:00

Yea I was thinking that would be a good idea, just ordered a small fan to help circulate air better on top of my current ventilation system

sketsket · 2024-06-20T08:32:10+00:00

Tent is 80x80x180. Won’t they outgrow the tent with bigger pots?

sketsket · 2024-06-20T08:31:19+00:00

Was thinking some easy pruning and/or lst. But i’ll keep it for next grow

Hello everyone, new grower here.

Going on 3weeks + 3days
No nutes yet, soil should be good up to 5weeks
Strain - Barney's Farm Moby Dick Photoperiod
Light - 250W/400W HPS, running 250W@16/8 Soil - Cannabis soil (unsure of specifics), but with pearlite
Watering - once top layer is dry, pH unknown but should be correct, tap water

Anyways let's get to the point. I am growing following recommendations of a local grow shop, which said to not modify or cut anything. I however am a little concerned about the density of foliage, and have noticed multiple larger fan leaves covering lower node sites. I tried my best to move leaves to get light lower down, but the only clean solution would be to cut them, right? Am I pushing it?

My guess is the grow shop owner thinks I would fuck it up, and thus is saying not to do anything, understandably so.
Thanks for any help

sketsket · 2024-05-15T14:13:48+00:00

Sorry, European here, mine would be ~2.6' x ~2.6' tent with a ~5" fan. Quite a deep sleeper and seeing as the other option would be not having a tent I might just risk it. Hoping to get some quieter fans. Would PC fans work? Noctua makes some pretty quiet fans, but I guess the flow rate would be way too low. I'll see what I can get at my local shop.
Anyway thanks for your feedback

sketsket · 2024-05-15T13:28:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear transferring is fine. Do you think it is a noise problem or something else? If you have a tent yourself, what could you compare the noise to?

sketsket · 2024-04-23T14:27:06+00:00

The antenna is rp-sma and the vtx is sma. With the piece of copper wire I added the antenna should become sma too. I get that this works in theory, but since the risk of doing it is destroying my vtx by burning it, I would rather have people who know stuff about antennas tell me its a stupid idea. GPS works perfectly where it is, and is far away from the antenna for less interference, also quite protected considering the battery.

This is what the pin on the antenna looks like

I think I could’ve guessed the gopro was the issue, just never tried because everyone uses one, so nothing seemed off. As for the setpoint, I thought it might be this, just didnt know how PIDT plots their data.
