Everything Ninjadip

What which one is?

The board is to replace the power board on my humidifier, plug and play.

Baobao is some weird Chinese market that doesn't even offer a native English translation.

Alipay is the only payment they accept. From what I've read of you're not a Chinese national or physically in China it's hard to link to an international credit card or load an alipay account with cash(only available at kiosk in China)

I can't find that part anywhere else.. it sucks. I work with one girl from China i think, but is it racist to ask if she can help?? We don't talk and are in different departments.

I'm not good at repairing boards, but i would guess it's the capacitor or transformer that went.

AC/DC 70 watts i believe
From the pics caps look fine. No swelling or oozing.
 
Read that above. Maybe try…Excuse me but have you ever heard of a service called Alipay?
Update, asked my Chinese national co-worker today. She does have alipay. She looked it up but told me that this vendor does not ship outside of mainland.... Ugh lol
I'd have to find a 3rd party shipper
 
Time for flip, started today.

Figure let's keep this thing moving, maybe these "sativa dominant" plants will show their ass in stretch, so better safe than sorry, but so far I'm not seeing it.
11 days ago

Yes that one on the right really is showing her ass... Crazy cause i broke two huge shoots a week ago, and you can't tell now

11 days after above, 3 days to 2 week flip, I'll be trimming up this weekend, should be done stretching by then, but they seem to still be reaching like a horney mf'er 😂

Note, just raised lights again before pic, trying to stay ahead of them

Just real happy with his so far, bringing in second light after trim, additional 70-80 watts of mostly reds

This top off res is the big change this grow, tripled total system volume. Now the plants get all the need, no shortage of nutes/water.

I got to stop posting, couldn't sleep, and don't know what to do with my 1 week of no weed no alcohol. Pre-trial requirements for two more weeks....

Thanks for stopping by everyone 😆

My closest friend's brother is really into bass and bass competitions... He's a world record holder for a Powerwheels Bass competition. He put a 15" sub with a badass amp and an LCD screen in an old Cadillac Escalade power wheel. It's hilariously loud.

Has he ever blown out glass??? Used to hear about that happening back in the day with hatchbacks at those competitions.

I once had a 15 with a a 2000 w amp Never any competitions but I remember my ears would ring for 30 minutes when I would come inside and I used to think that was really cool then lol

I can't say for sure. He always ran a big cargo van at his comps.

The Powerwheels comps are hilarious though. No glass on those badboys but he had spinners and underglow lighting. The whole shebang. I'll have to see if he can send me a video.
 
new whip!
spent hours upon hours detailing/restoring this beauty today, waxing, back-to-black restoration of trim, leather cleaning inside, etc...
working on clearing the headlights up tomorrow

Get weird is my own custom made magnetic bumper "sticker", i keep meaning to make a bunch of these to send for monthly POTM winners. mario style mushroom background, often I have this upside down, that's when i'm getting F-uNK-YYY lol

3" catback exhaust, maybe a downpipe is in my future, get rid of the last bottleneck for exhaust

car isn't a Porsche of course, but it's fun AF to drive. low curb weight with some turbo and exhaust makes it very fun

the lineup, for those that know, these are AMAZING products, each in their own right.
car doesn't look 20 years old right? but it is
last thing to do is replace vinyl stripes, maybe the same, maybe do something different. but the peeling and cracking on these isn't a big deal, they can come off and you can put new ones on

Needs to be Luigi if you catch my drift...

Slick car bro. I've always loved the little minis.
 
Nice ride man~!:cool:
Coppers has always been one of my favorites.
You going to get a bike rack on it?
Nice job cleaning her up.

Mine are starting to yellow. One needs to be sanded down or buffed. Just need to remove that top layer. Funny how it happens not long after warranty is over.

Looking great bud! What’s that heist movie with the three minis loaded with gold in the sewers?IMG_5631.jpeg

Does anyone else use bennies before the res change?

I'm using TPS Billions and mfg recommends to use it before a res change, i run it for 30 minutes before change. Funny, i swear this recommendation wasn't there 2 years ago and this was something i did off experience because of how potent the product is to minimize bacteria blooms even at the smallest doses.

Curious if this is common or unique with this product.

Sorry, I haven’t used bennies since I was a teenager. 😝
 
Use the product for just 30 minutes before change/ then discard?
I am not sure I would be following those directions unless the addition is like a 'flush'.

Nothing to do with a flush just all it needs to work, i think it's wild how this is what I was doing before the manufacturer changed the recommendation because this is what works from experience. They don't even say 30 minutes, they're saying immediately dump it, the 30 minutes is my own addition from what works, and how long it takes me to make nutes, waiting on silica, etc... lol

For real it works miracles, sounds wonky, but it def works with predictable results this way.

Makes about a much sense as above i know
🤣🤣😂
 
should have taken pictures more for if anyone else is in the same boat,

but this is what happened over the past week

i got to check the EC/pH monitor/controller, and notice the EC rising by 100-200, i'm like wtf...
I know the top off is more diluted than what is in the system at res change, confused, i decide to add another 4 gallons of 0 ppm water to the top off res.
Next day, i check, and still the EC is high....
i'm like WTF?!?!?
I notice that the top off is still full at a time when they should be drinking at least 2-3 gallons a day.

finally, I check under the hood...
DAMN TOPOFF FLOAT VALVE IS CLOGGED!!!

I pull the line out of the top off res, blow in like a whore lol, and I see it's running again

I check 2 hours later, and the system is topped off and at the right level. cool

two days later same shit as above, so immediately i look and AGAIN the float top off valve is clogged.

I pull out of the system and see it flowing like a mo-fo, so wtf, it's the actual valve.

I take it apart and to the sink

I soak in some alcohol and rinse, and still not happy with it. I notice that while this takes a 1/4" line, there is only a pin sized hole for the water to flow through when open, not even big enough for a toothpick i tried to stick through to see if clogged.

this is where i would have taken a picture for other DIY enthusiasts (probably everyone here) like myself

I break out the man drill and open that fucking hole up to almost the full 1/4"
I check and the valve still seals when in the up position.

I reinstall it and now she flowing good! damn good! and checked later and 100% stopped when it should.
mystery/problem solved!
this was also right around when i noticed some funny leaves on one plant, i believe this was because of the lack of fresh/top off water, water was very low those 2 days, less than 1/2" above the pumps... real low. so thats why the EC shot up and i think the solution got a little toxic which caused the deficiencies. at least that's what i believe lol
 
Good catch and fix. Looks like you'd need almost sterile water for a pinhole to suffice. I wonder if there was a specialized use the valve was designed for, or are they all made like that?

Maybe i bought the wrong float valve, it did say it was made for RO water now that i think about it. It takes the standard 1/4" hardline that RO systems use. No issue the first run, which was when i was only topping off with RO water, oh man that hindsight about knocked me over just hit me so hard lol

But with this easy DIY mod now the entire 1/4" is wide open and shouldn't be an issue again
 
I should defoilate more, but I'm having zero humidity issues,
And to me she looks like a healthy bitch, dehumidifier connected to tent sensor.

330 watts standard lighting, plus supplemental UVB 20 minutes on 20 off (cycles), and deep/far red 40 minutes on each end of the light cycle with 15 minutes overlapping with regular lights on each end.

A lot of lighting for a 2x4 and i think they could take more lol they are praying non stop
