When I use Google Translate and type in "Designed in California Made in China" the translation I get back reads "Buyer Beware"
I have it working as it should again but it is very picky about the angle of the fan head and where the clamp is positioned. Gravity pretty much kicks it's gears' ass. It needs more torque in the motor and steel gears. More of that and less fancy packaging.
To their credit I'm using their fans outside the lines of their recs and known limits. I'm not gonna set my fans on 18/6 timers like they say to do to "save" the oscillator gears and I'm gonna mount them upside down and sideways looking for the elusive orbital air flow I've always been wanting.
I got to playing with it and found a very tight range of angles that will get it to work vertical. But it didn't want to stay in that position so I drilled a set screw thru the clamp and into the pole to lock that in. Next I played with the angle of the head to the clamp and tightened that to the point I was about to break it. It's locked in and doing what I want it to do so now it's just a matter of how long will the gears and motor last.
So far from what I see it could use upgrades to metal fan blades, metal gears, more torque in the motor, stiffer clamp and lock down tight clamp to pole insert better than what it has now.
I am getting good results from the second UIS plug I'm using though. I kept it simple to run my light cooling fan at certain temps and it's doing well. For now.

I'll also say the orbital air flow is the best I've ever had. I hope it lasts but this is the closest to how air moves outdoors I've ever seen in this room.
Dude! Jaws is like my official movie of Summer! I own it on digital and play it on a loop every 4th of July and watch it maybe 10x every Summer!
Yep part 2 is where they electrocute the shark and part 3 is pretty much a commercial for Sea World but with a mama shark twist. Part 4 is one to avoid.
But yeah one is where it's at! I even saw in the theater a few years ago and wore my Great White label shirt hahaha!
I got another little fridge for curing and have been keeping my can of GW in there. Seems to still be potent keeping cool like that so I bet a big jug of it will last as long as it's kept well.
Tell ya what...If we win that pool that big jug is ours!!!
I'm working off an 8oz can right now I got for half off regular then with my GGMi order I got this to try out too.

I also really like what I see in Neptune's Tomato & Veg brew.
2-4-2 NPK, loaded with all the ocean grown goodies plus molasses and yucca extract.
So yeah I'm going all liquid this grow..T&V base line, liquid crab and lobster is the cal-mag health booster, and the squid is the supplemental happy plant mojo booster.
Same recipe for hydro but swap the T&V for 'Nova Bloom.
Yeah the light being so big is opening up some ideas. After P421 is done in the DWC I wanna make that a cucumber tower. I also wanna add a lettuce garden and maybe even a potato bag. All in the middle of the room and not really in the grow space since there's so much light to spare now.
Man IDK if that jumbotron is the biggest in the world anymore but it is huge!!!
And how about Kyle showing up on Race Hub this week??!! I was shocked to see him in studio! I figured that guy would be out racing something...airplanes, raskal scooters, pogo sticks...Dude is always racing something!!!
I tell you what too man....Fuck those Bears and Fuck Waco!!! Yeah it's conference play time and it's our farewell tour. To say the closer we get to Saturday night, the sharper the edge I have walking around would be an understatement. So yeah...there's that
In other news...I'm really starting to like this garden.....

so thats why you like sharkonado so much!!! hahaha first time we've watched jaws in many years man... first time since HD anyway. great movie.. watched two last night and just finished three tonight... didn't even know there was a four!! the OG was the best!!
i saw that king crab stuff on GGMi then i looked on amazon and bought a small bottle that should be here tomorrow. it says the small bottle makes 180 gallons!! that should last me a while, at least long enough to know how much i like it. i also bought a small bottle of orca in same size, i remember you having that a while back but i couldn't remember anything good or bad so i figured i'd try a small bottle!
i have a couple seedlings that don't look as happy as the others so they're gonna get the first tests right away!!
and ya know i have an orbital fan out in my garage that i use to move the heat from my woodstove around in the winter... you have me wanting to take it down and put it in the grow room!!! hahaha same deal though, it's been around for years and i can't find another one anywhere just like it.
love seeing the earthbox!!! i really missed not having a veggie garden this summer and never used mine. it's on next year though!!!
oh and by the way... i ain't racing you. your plants look huge compared to mine already. you;re getting ready to lap me already!!!
and i'd race larson on a pogo stick if i had the chance!!!!! hahahaha
i was gonna ask ya if this was the last waco... hope you guys leave em feeling gut punched and sister fucked!! national game too i think.. i'll be watching it!!!!
