Add some resistance to it by covering at least 20% of the inlet. I bet you notice it suddenly magically moves more air at the same time.
this is very interesting to me. my ignorance exposed, on this particular device, the motor is outside the cage, which is driven by a belt. restricting the inlet is problematic. would restricting the outlet have the same effect? i'll definitely be fuckin with this, thanks sandman.

Oh it's a wacky belt driven one? Isn't the inlet the opposite side that the belt comes in on? Well if it's not directly driven I don't know much about it, if it needs restricing or not. I assume the motor would be designed to self cool somehow in those type. Maybe it's still needs to be restricted too. Got a pic?

oh shit, yeah i guess you are correct again, the side opposite the sheave must be open. been a while since i used it. it's for mosquito control and clearing out stick welding fumes. haven't been up to much of that since last fall.
what i know most certainly about ac motors is they are counterintuitive as fuck. and by extension, tesla was a goddam wizard genius. and they put out maximum power at 1/2 no load speed. theoretically. or is that dc motors? ... nope that's dc motors... hahaha fuck i'm useless.
everyone please disregard everything i have ever said. except for, mush love to you all.

I have a furnace blower in my FH. it has 4 different speeds. I wired it to the slowest and still have 3 furnace filtres and duct taped them so no air gets by them.

sandman420 said: Ideally your blower is capable of delivering 100 fpm out of the HEPA at twice the starting resistance of the HEPA, called final pressure drop. That is typically twice the starting resistance for most filters, and means it is clogged up to it's maximum. You restrict the flow via several options to get your new filter in the 100fpm range and as it loads up over time you can unrestrict the flow to keep it at 100 fpm. It may not be possible or economical to do this but much bigger is always better even if it isn't twice the resistance as necessary, because you can easily restrict the flow. My favorite and easiest way I have found is simply strips of gorilla tape placed over the inlet. They are easy to apply and easy to remove and strong enough to hold up to the flow. And you can easily add a strip to add more resistance or remove one to lower it, real simple stuff.
Yes this is what I have heard and what I was going to do. And I already have the gorilla tape I just get confused looking at different blowers online ones $150 ones $250 ones $350... I didn't want to accidently buy the wrong one or one that wasn't strong enough. Thanks for everyone's help

Jack,
No, the kitchen light switch not turning on the kitchen light switch not turning on is recent, but it was always wonky. The hallway light issue was possibly a full year ago, but I just don't use it or have a bulb in it. The wiring has always been weird in here.
I'll take a look tomorrow as I'm ordering a few cheap tools tonight. I figure they probably updated some of the wiring at some point given how old the house is, but all outlets have the three prong grounded face. I'll double-check weather they're using aluminum or copper wiring.
The fixtures hanging in the kitchen all have chords that go up through the ceiling so I'm not really sure what to do with those if there is an obviously loose wiring behind the switch they're connected to. But I guess cross that bridge when I come to it.

... that's just mean. also i think that smiley is bacterial.
sunny, you're a daisy.
stare, you got this man. i'm calling faulty switch in the kitchen.
cypress, that's awesome let's see.
blazer, i find germination plates are the least predictable. used to put a heating pad in a tiny interior closet to gently raise the temp a few degrees. get creative.

Are SGFCs really outdated by today's standards? I've been out of the loop especially with fruiting cakes and I read that the SGFC is out and monotub style HC was the new thing for cool kids. Maybe I should read up on Meteahs thread.

so i just revisited processing whole brown rice for grain spawn. reason being, i'm determined to get some pan cyans before this decade is out, and i hear they're sometimes not all that fond of oats. also i'm sitting on a lot of whole brown rice, so it didn't cost anything. also thinking of putting tamps and mexicana to it to get stones without husks. again, sitting on lots of this stuff.
anyway, i vaguely recall reading a legit study on grain spawn which more or less concluded that whole brown rice was the best of all that were tested wrt actives content. but i'll be fucked if i can find it now. anyone know what i'm talking about or am i still tripping?

I kinda remember something about BRF being one of the most nutritious of the grains commonly used for mush cult. But iirc there's no correlation to better performance or potency. Seems like even the "less nutritious" grains are plenty more nutrition than a grow needs.

yeah, i know it sounds like bs, but i have to find this paper. had a link in my journal i thought, but i can't find it. way back when, that was a big reason i went so far to find bulk bags of brown rice. and the cubes i grew back then, and still have some of, are a fair bit stronger than what i've grown recently. if i find it i'll post up.

I believe one of the largest benefits of using brf is that it is fairly resistant to contaminants when compared to other grains.

i think that only applies to pf-jars, not just the flour itself.
