They were under 4 36” T5’s Yes you are right. I guess my question is should I leave them on 12/12 or switch them back to 18/6 till they recover a bit.

I thought if I wired together the dimmer wires on my driver it would be running at 100%. When I finally got my hands on the potentiometer and got it hooked up I found that this was incorrect and the strips were being driven at the lowest power setting. The plants basically sat in the dark for...

So long story short I built a new strip light and had the dimmer wired incorrectly. It was running at 30% power for the first 5 days when I got the plants set up under it. I also had switched the schedule to 12/12 the first day. Plants are not looking that great. Lots of dead leaves. New...

Yeah not really sure what to do now since my light was running at 30% the first 4 days. I probably should of had them get adjusted to the new light before switching to 12/12 but was excited to get them into bloom. Gonna do some more research since moving them into the fridge is another...

Day 6 Plants not looking that great, lots of yellowing and light green on the new growth. Very skinny leaves on the top. Might be heat exhaustion so I moved the light up a bit more. Currently sitting at 16” away from tops, still might be close but I’ll try it out and see how they look. Almost...

I would say let it fill in more

Day 4 of flower Well turns out I’ve been running my light at 30% power for the last 3 days. Got my dimmer installed tonight and man does this thing go bright!! Definitely makes me feel better since I was a little spectical at how bright it was. There is definitely some signs of stress since...

Very cool test. I used a fire saftey /emergency blanket (that’s what we call it in Canada anyways) in my grow cabinet. It’s made of Mylar and it is relitivly cheap. Not the exact one but very similar...

Alright thanks man. I’ll give that a try Cheers

Thanks man! I’m so hyped! Any recommendations on a PAR meter or are they really nessassary? I’m still waiting on my dimmer so it’s running at 100%. I moved the light up a bit last night but what distance from canopy would be best?

Well this is the fridge all finished up. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. I’m sure there will be a few modifications along the way.

Don’t buy U channel buy angle. It’s less then half the price. I got 1-1/4 aluminum angle for $1.66 a foot works good

Thanks man! I plan on getting a few more pictures to show it off a bit :bigjoint: it’s putting out about 124watts. There is 672 diodes running at 1050ma. I’m a little unsure about the light so I hope it works good. There is a lot of guys using them but to me it doesn’t seem that bright so I...

hey every one! I wanted to share with the community what I have been working on lately. I have converted a old fridge into a grow cabinet and just got it operational last night. I’m sure there will be some minor tweaks along the way but here are some details Inside cabinet diementions...

Thanks diggs. They are all white widow feminized. I got the seeds from B.C. Seed king .com . They are 31 days old. I was hoping to have the 6 in the 2 gallon pots under my new led light and get them on a 12/12 by now but I’m still working on it and waiting on a order from amazon to complete the...

I run my t5’s 3” away, at max just gotta keep watch and adjust the heights a little more often

That looks like a neat set up you got there

That would be awesome! I may just have to try that down the road. So I’m waiting on a amazon order that has my wago’s and potemeter and it’s not supposed to be here till the end of the month. Do you think I could get it going temporarily with some twist on merets? And then as far as the dimmer...

Sorry for the newb question but what does PM stand for?

Well here’s my frame. Riveted the angle all together and got some self tapping screws to mount the strips. Worked good. Happy how it’s turning out.
