Just powered her up for first time. Yes, the first notch is nothing, so im liking the chart here. At least till I get a meter. You still haven’t made a suggestion on meter. Tell you what, that lamp, turned up, is bright!! For now, till I get the glasses, wearing sunglasses and not looking directly at it. Should be moving into tent tonight!!

Now how does that integrate with the timer?

For my set up I have a 10 gauge wire plugged into the watt meter.
From here I have extensions from the watt meter out. Where everything else plugs in.
I like to measure watts in totality. However if you are ONLY using it for the light, plug the timer directly into the meter.

I’m in the process of reconfiguring my grow area. But you can see how I have mine for the time being…
20amp circuit-10 gauge cord to watt meter- out to 3 power strips; 48”, and 2 4”x4”- the longer strip is where I also have individual timers, and plenty of plug ins for fans, and things I may add on.

There are more than a few good auto growers in here. 
I always forget just who when I try and think of who. I know @Nicky @GreenJewels and @Capt.Cola @MattyBear @Myfriendis410 come to m mind fast. There are a lot I am over looking too. They will come to me once I hit post

Thanks for the tag bro. I’m trying to get these autos figured out lol. I read up a little bit and saw sour diesel as a plant? Also noticed a few clean electrical set ups. 10 gauge is some serious wire! I’ll try and get a little more caught up.

I would start the auto first. So it gets a little more light. I have ran autos on a 12/12 from the start and the autos still did well. Those look to be off to a nice start

Guess too late now. Taking SD auto bean from water cup to germ cup this evening. Obviously trying to make things difficult i guess! Im new so…also, my bud from that hermie is surprisingly good. Fluffy, but good. That plant had an awful grow environment till the last, 2 months? Learned a lot though.

It will work out. I was shown that my first real grow. I was constantly changing the light schedule. Water and nutes. opening the door during the night hours for pictures and to show a few friends lol And they still finished nice.

I’m diggin the accessories, are those pvc risers?
Edit
Also if it’s not to much of an ask, can you get a pic of how those wires for the gauge run through the plate from the inside? Thanks in advance
Looks good brother! I just had to toss my photo period and now I have to douche my stealth box bad. The plant I brought over from my buddy’s had mites… I’m so mad cause my girls are germing and almost ready to go into pots… but I will get it done. New journal tomorrow for me after I clean and get everything ready
