This is the light is an 'LED Hydroponics' (A UK based company), its 3W chip, 7 Scpectrum.
I get paid in a couple of days so i'll be ordering it then.
Because the Light is so dam expensive it means alot of other things had to be home made, witch was a challenge. I work for an Industrail supplies company so i was able to get alot of stuff from work.
The box itselft is about 1.5mtr sq ish? but its only tempory till I get a tent.
Will be growing 2 plants to start, just to get an eye in. Probably THC Bomb as I've read they are quite forgiving and have great first time results, also they are short.
I have a Homemade Carbon filter made from a small fan, a plastic bottlle and Duct tape (all hail Duct tape) and a larger fan for circulation. Both i managed to get from work (we also deal in refrigeration and cooling systems). Justy a case of recyling the power cords from some old lamps and wiring them up and they work great.
Does anyone know if i can just chuck in some charcol or does it have to be the activated carcon stuff?
I'm probably going to order a Heating mat (used in lizard boxes), I live in Scotland and it gets a bit to cold in the house at nights. normal temp in the box at the moment is only 18c. The box is well insulated so it should hold heat well when its complete. but i dont think the Light will give off enough heat.
I'v also got one of those big ass water cooler bottles with a hose that atatches to the top on the box for a Home made C02 bottle (I've heard mixed things and it wasn't going to cost me anything to set up so i thought i would give it a bash.
I'll be useing Soil and Perlite. Not sure what nutes I'll use yet. But if anyone has any sujestions that would be good. Nothing to complicated though lol.
I've Photo documented the whole thing and will start a grow journal to share, Including a couple of hilairious falce starts, I'm talking some serious "what the hell were you thinking" moments.
I have a slight timeline issue though. I recon I will be at groing stage in about 2 weeks time, But I'm off to the sates in July for 7 days (Comic Con! yea, I'm that guy). Now i can have my BF look after things no problem, but what i'm worried about is the warning time for harvesting, I mean the whole 70% brown thing is fine, but how quickly does that happen under LED?
Cheers for the replys and wellcomes!
Dave.
