In the last couple weeks I upgraded my charge controller from a 20 amp to a 30 amp Eco flow 12/24v. Add 3 200 W biracial solar panels and add some 2/12 outdoor Romex. To replace the used extension that it's been using for several years. Now everything is acting up. The charge controller is overheating blacking out the screen. I keep trying to rearrange the setup parallel in series and individually and I can't fathom what changed to have such a drastic response. Or every combination gets nearly the same result.

Did I just over charge somewhere? I'm not sure I've moved that far from the micro-solar I've been using, but burning down the building isn't on the list.

My nephew was raised as a shutin computer guy. Due to circumstances I still don't understand him and his father were homeless for a time I'm trying to find him help. He put his first computer together at 16 from a box of parts his dad bought him that was still pretty impressive 10 years later. He went to a for-profit school and was ahead of the class during his entire term and graduated with every computer science degree available at the time. Currently homeless on my couch. He made a bad decision before he turned 18 that stopped him from getting higher clearance in the field.

He knows computers as a first language other than 1 mistake, he's a clean cut kid nonsmoker with no drugs and no alcohol. Are there any jobs available that don't require a car and solely remote work anyone has spotted that are mid to higher standard that maybe are out there. I'm pretty sure he can do almost anything he was learning Linux as his dad was doing the computer science degree. I'm trying to get them up and out , they can't stay in my living room forever.

Any help would be appreciated. This isn't a hire him post, this is a show him the door and if he can't do it that's on him. I don't know anything about IT so I wouldn't have the first clue about what he knows or doesn't. I just know a town under 1,200 doesn't have any IT jobs, hell the whole town is smaller than my highschool. That's a different story. Any leads would be helpful.

Are the short grow bags mostly for limiting root depth ? Some of y'all have beautiful flowers I'm a bit jealous. Indoor or outside which produces the better bud ? Without breaking the budget is it the light spectrum or light intensity more important ? The desired humidity range ? From what I've gathered 70% is good ? Temp control is important in dozens of different types, some breeds sound like they can be picky? Without mapping the genome of every seed, is there a way to know what you're looking at with a young plant. How close or far apart should know different types be to prevent cross pollination.

I probably have a dozen other questions I can't think of right now. I guess it should be considered that I remember a time when trees didn't have specific names. I'm pretty old school so keep it basic on nutrition needs. So specific feeding schedules have me confused. Seed , healthy soil and water is about as far into critical care as I understand. My tomatoes are top shelf most years and from what I understand it's a similar family as far as it's needs. I'm not trying to put anyone on the spot, but at the same time I'm not as educated on this matter. I'm not trying to turn a profit I'm just trying to get better quality than some of the shops that seem to be selling budrot 5 for $10 bucks.

I'm not talking about a cannabis grow light. But it seems every couple of months I see a dozen flat screens tvs thrown out. The couple I've picked up but had flaws, cracked screens, bust up, broken mounts and a few with holes. I know there is a trove of goodies for a scraper. The ones I can get to work all seem to have a 5 minute no input cutoff. Bet the screens there seems to be parabolic layers I have one I turned into a high intensity light for my shed building. The 5 minutes is enough to poke around and find parts, but you keep having to hit the switch.

At times it's difficult to grow certain things outdoors temp's high or low , too windy and a couple times a year dramatic weather in general ( tornadoes). My tomatoes are always damaged, peppers snapped in half and it takes weeks to get back on track.

So I guess the question is, is there a way to bypass that circuit and make it more functional so it doesn't go straight to a landfill ? I'm more of a mechanic than an electrician so I'm not completely out of my depths. If I could identify the component I'm pretty sure I could figure out a bypass, I'm just not sure if it's an impossible feat.
