Yeah I know I was just putting that out there ;). Your plants look fucking lovely!! How big are those buds when they finish swelling? tennis balls? racket balls?

Thank you, Sir!

The wire trellis in the background serves as scale, it's 4" squares. Depending on strain, I've been able to hide a two liter soda bottle behind one!

Makes me sad how much they shrink.

Yeah I would say an easy 50-70% is lost. The first decent Durban Poison I grew was from marijuana-seeds.nl and when dried it was still just under racket ball size when dried. Been hunting for something with buds like that since....

Hey ttystikk, I'm thinking about going for the 72v chips. Am I correct in assuming your wattage is double the sheet you attached earlier? That your 72v cob at .7 a is about 44 watts?

In your experience, is it unreasonable to run the cobs at 60-70 watts?

I'm only picking up 4 or 5 on the first round, and I'd like to run them as high as possible, for now. Will worry about efficiency in a month, when I have more chips.

Thoughts? BTW, where's the dank Vietnamese food in FOCO? Thus far, I've had a hard time finding decent Thai or Vietnamese. We've tried Sri Thai and ban Thai. Sri thai wasn't bad at all, just inconsistent for our tastes.

An exact quote from my gf to you, "Tell him that Pho looks amazing! Where is it? How do we get it? I want it now." Lol.

Also, have you tried running a vertical grow with COBs yet?

Thanks for your thread. I'm not sure if I found it before or after building my vertical grow, but I've read it nonstop since.

72V x .7A = 50.4W

The CXB3590's nominal rating is 110W, so anything below that is fine.

My knowledge of how to combine chips and drivers efficiently is very thin; I picked a good looking candidate and went with it.

You'll need to pick a set of chips to run, then change them all if you want a higher efficiency setup, food for thought.

Speaking of, you gotta check out Pho Duy on Drake Rd, between the vet hospital and the cheap cinema, east of shields. Another good all around Asian food place is Chili House, Troutman pkwy at College Avenue. For authentic dim sum- not Vietnamese, but still highly recommended- the Empire chinese restaurant is just south of Drake on College, in the same shopping center as Computer Resource and Joanne's Fabrics.

And that's your local culinary rundown for good eats on the Asian beat!

Aloha Friend!

I read a couple of your old posts that mentioned you using water cooling to lower the temp in the space instead of A/C. Could you elaborate or point me in the direction to that method? Is it possible to apply the technique to a micro situation?

I built this janky thing way back when... Couldn't figure out how to cool the water back down after it went through the styrofoam rez, and I got sick of buying ice for a few hours of cooling, so I re purposed the fan.
Basically, what's the smallest available chiller around? I'm sure I could put something together

edit: how tf can I diy one of these??? http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3743+30013&pcatid=30013&s=lh

This looks promising- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA6J02E43227&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Home+Electronics+Accessories-_-9SIA6J02E43227&gclid=CJnw-_DXocsCFc9ffgodQOgBug&gclsrc=aw.ds

Put a cpu water cooling radiator inside with the water lines coming out of it. I wonder the capacity..

Sorry for thread clutter! Your methods have inspired many ideas


Thanks
