JB's New Growroom with Graphics

LOL! Good practice for when the world runs out if drinking water!

I had my eye on the MW drivers ending with the "B" code at the end, indicating that it's a dimmable driver. Is the "D" model different than that?
There are others like cob kits that will be much better for info on drivers some have on board (a?) dimming others (the b I think) are dimable remotely by either a potentiaometer, voltage signal or pwm signal.

It is my understanding that the D versions have either built in timers or can be configured for remote control via their proprietary software and controllers. One example given for why or how they would be used included a gradual brightening for street light applications as the sun sets and a gradual dimming as the sun rises. The way I interpreted it is that the driver (or controller or ?) was capable of receiving inputs from things like light intensity sensors, motion detectors or other switches and adjusting the driver output to the desired level.

What's up, RIU?

I wanted to share my new grow room designs, parts, costs, and ideas with everyone, with the goal of teaching some noobs a few things, and getting advice from the Ganja Growing Gods.

I've posted a few threads recently that have gotten attention for the 3d renderings I've been sharing. I've gotten some really nice comments and I thought that others might find the method in which I'm designing this grow room really helpful on some of their own projects. The type of build I'm doing is fairly advanced (RDWC UC under a COB array) and thought the graphics could provide a good visual for others to use for their setup.

First I'll say that I'm not an expert grower who's been doing this for decades. I actually only grew for a few years, from '08 to '11, but I built some pretty sophisticated hydro setups and had really good yields. I'm a self taught engineer, specifically with computers, programming, and databases, but I'm an engineer all around. I converted my garage into a dedicated room within a room, home theater for example. Being an engineer, I've got a knack for problem solving. So I used what I had learned (which was all from RIU and my own successes and failures) and I designed a system that I'm hoping to start within the next couple months.

Here are a few samples of the renderings I did while designing my RDWC UC system and COB array. I'll be explaining everything and these will all be put into context in the upcoming posts. But these are pretty cool to look at if you're into 3d design.

This is my 10x16x8 shop. Everything is to scale and I built all the objects as close to the originals as I could:

Be careful. That cola company could try to sue over copywrite issues.. J/k but they could. Crossout or remove lables. Car license plates ect.

All in all.. Badass. My perfect grow would be underground fallout style.

I'm reading up on growing in 100% hydroton as an alternative to the DWC. I'll see if it sways me. I know I can't do soil because of the constant heavy lifting (bad back and knees).

A system of balances and levers to save your back. A dumbwaiter of sorts to raise and lower soil. So u can work from the floor all the way to around a foot below your arm pits. Id buy that and my backs ok. Knock on wood. Not to mention the ease of draining your runoff without a pump. If u can get this right..??? And be first to do so... $$$$$$

There are much easier solutions, including the one I recently completed (see the "2017 Grow Room" link below). I did end up building an rdwc/UC, and I couldn't be happier!

Dude, you've smoked yourself paranoid LOL! I doubt they are at all concerned about my little picture. :lol:

They would likely just consider it free advertising and keeping with their motto that Coke goes good with everything! :)

I stopped drinking all pop years ago when I became aware of the adverse health effects of high fructose corn syrup and artificial caramel colour/flavour.

When I got back from the hospital recently I heated up a can of Campbell's tomato soup, an old favourite, and it tasted like someone dumped a bunch of sugar in it. Read the ingredients list and instead of sugar it said Glucose-Fructose which is Canadian for HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP !!! WTF! Already had hidden MSG, (spice extracts), but I had let that slide but HFCS means war!

Campbell's is now on my boycott list and I went to their website, WhatIsInMyFood.ca, and logged into my never used FB account so I could bitch them out. Politely of course so my comment wouldn't get deleted. Was a checkbox there to have it posted on my FB page so checked that off so my "friends" would see it too.

This is the kind of garbage we end up eating too much of and become one of those "People of WalMart" that everyone likes to make fun of. And our gov'ts worry about pot but let these guys poison us for profit. I still wear the same 32x32 jeans I've worn since I was 18 and they are loose on me because I won't eat junk food and know how to read the labels.

Rant over before I really get into it. :)

:peace:
