What's new

CannaGranny’s Corner a Thread For General BS and Good Will On BudBuilders

Mornin Menz!
Its a sunny cold super blustery day here in the Zarks. I’ll take it though! Normally this time of the year we are wading and pushing snow.
So far the old way of predicting the winter weather is spot on. The wooly worms showed a mild winter a short rough patch and a mild spring. So far it’s true to measure. Mildest winter the Zarks has seen in years. So far it has saved me a ton of money normally spent to heat.
I have a big o pot of chili simmering on the stove this morning and am preparing to head back to the flower room. What a great day! 🥰

We're getting that shit now, I get a new generator tomorrow with the power most likely going out today/night. 1 day late for this storm, my old generator needs repair and there's no one that'll do it. They are all backed up with them and no time to fix the ones they have.

Yep!! Usually im already through 1.5 or 2 tons of pellets, im not even sure ive gone through 1 ton yet.
I run my stove at night and shut it off when i get up. If it dips below 67 in the house i turn it back on. Its been really mild this winter but we are headed back into the colder weather tomorrow here.

I have one. It runs off of propane. If we have ice here, the power is more than likely going out and sometimes it’s days before the electric company can even get to them to repair them. There is no getting out or moving around here in those periods. We also pay a yearly fee for a med evac copter should we have a medical emergency and need to get out. Ice shuts the whole world down around here.
I go into winter with a stocked pantry and a case of organic zig zags rolling papers. 🤣 I’m prepared.
 
Environment looking pretty on point as of now....now to monitor and hope it all holds.

Just run it on propane wont have the gum up problems. You lose a little voltage running on propane
 
A few hours later and my flower tent is restocked. It's going to be a veg tent for a couple weeks while my harvest dries then I'm gonna split it up some. Goal is wall to wall, testing out everything on the 2.0 run.

They look rough they've been under 75watts shared their whole life...250 watts today surely gonna beat em down a bit, I'll revisit in a couple days they'll be happier.
 
Propane Generators...........🤬

Did a 40 light build out in a house up in the hills where there were no services. The house was a mansion that some guy lost in foreclosure and the new owner decided he wanted to turn it into a grow for a couple years then, rehab it and flip it.

Did the full build out with the last piece being the Generator that had come with the place. It was underpowered, even for the mansions basic needs. I had located a good used one from an oil rig that was using them as backups so they were rarely turned on and had minimal hours. The price was super cheap too!!

Owner kept stalling until I confronted him and he finally told me that his partner on the deal and he had split up on bad terms and that we would have to move the entire operation to another foreclosed home he had acquired!😤

This was towards the end of the build stage:

I hope you mean wattage, voltage drops increase amperage and can burn out equipment. I only need about 4,000 watts to keep my lights, heater, furnace, fridge, TV/ internet, ...just emergency stuff. Its a 10,000 watt gen so It should cover everything I need. 1702941942152.png A Costco special

You are correct wattage. I purchased that one a couple years ago runs whole house. In Ontario you can get an insert that plugs into your meter and plug generater into it it feeds the panel with built in surge protecter. Have to go through Licensed Elec. and get hydro involved to open meter to put insert in cost 1700.00 dollars for that expensive but worth it for convience
 
Evening Menz!
I’m down to a plant and a half to finish cleaning tomorrow. Damn glad to as I’m darn tired of sitting! By tomorrow afternoon all will be hanging to dry.
Im pretty pleased with this crop, trying something new. But the dry weight will tell the real story. That’s a couple of weeks out.
My Hubby said my buds look like swords.. I’m okay with that!
 
all this genny talk had me thinking i should fire mine up to make sure it runs before i need it... battery was dead, took a little either to get er going but seems to be running smooth now!!! gonna let it run for about an hour, should be good to go for the winter!!

don't get caught with your pants down, check your generators!!!

$1700 bucks!!! I have 2 extension cords through to my grow and 1 to the furnace. I just have to plug them into the generator and disconnect from house power. I don't want to back feed my power out of my house and down the electric lines to the transformers. It takes me about 1/2 hr to set it all up. I also run 2 more cords through the cat door for fridge and TV.

Power is out across the province but we stayed lit after last night storm. Generator should come today. My last gen lasted 15 years but I only ran it for use 6-7 times, its still a good gen but its a pull start and I've pulled my guts out trying to get it to go and it won't fire up. Just no one to fix it up. As soon as we get the new one I'll take the old one in to sit in their shop until they get around to fixing it, Then try to sell it once fixed. The shop told me they had a dozen on the shop floor waiting for parts & a qualified person to do the repairs.......could take a long time the way things are now.

I don't do Canadian Tire ever again for any reason. Long story short, fkem they've pissed me off for the last time. Sea Foam eh, too late ...lol.. my new gen just arrived. When I called around to see if there was anyone that could fix my old gen only 1 company said they could but they had a dozen on their shop floor waiting for parts ......and.......someone qualified to fix them as their main man was out sick.

I'll set this one up today and then maybe I'll take the other in for repair....or to sit and wait for repair,
