Never even stared the pineapple unfortunately. I did build the other 2 lights see pics below. I mounted them together using threaded metal rods thru i-hooks. I experimented with fans atop the heatsinks, shrouded and open. Cooling the lights was never an issue. I just wanted my room temp as cool...
Everyone has their comfort zone. For years it was rdwc for me.
I'm glad I changed. My new job keeps me on the road sometime 3 days at a time.
I never have to worry about a pump dying, topping off or ph swings again.
I'm not trying to convert anyone by any means. If you have your shit dialed...
I'm glad it's working for you.
I made multiple attempts with a custom built RDWC. I've used the same system with killer results under HID.
I will never go back. The organics are so easy. No ppm. No ph. I water once every 3 and fert once a week. No fuss no muss. Have you run a full cycle under...
Awesome man! Exciting stuff!
I was really worried for a while that these lights were a bad investment. So glad I was wrong. These are by far the best growing , most efficient, coolest running lights ever. As long as you are using organics.....!
Viva 3590!!
Hey guys I'm back after a bit of a hiatus.
I feel a bit like I'm learning to grow all over again with these lights for the past year.
Here is a link to my setup:

Inspired by supraSPL.
I have been growing for 10+ years.

Hey guys,
I've had some abrupt life changes since my last post. I won't go into details however I was forced to put my project on hold. It is now operational, however, to all of our disappointment, filled with strawberries green peppers and tomatoes.
I will post some pictures later tonight...
Love the Alita AL-60. Super quiet. Runs a bit hot but i have a long extension hose pre-manifold so the heat dissipates. Would def. recommend. Great almost overpowering output using alita sintered air stones x8 in dwc.
I used a felt pen to mark the centers of where i wanted my cobs, thenI took and ideal holder placed it centered on my marks and marked where the holes will be. After drilling and tapping entire sink I cleaned it with stiff brush and soap and water. Let it dry for 48 hours and cleaned the...
Using ideal holders and prolimatech I had no problem. Pre drilled and tapped HS. Used a plastic card to apply very thin layer of paste onto chip and mounted with the rec. 5lbs of pressure. Like the op stated, The vacuum created by the paste and cob is very strong. I would use this method again...
For me, it was worth the extra $$ to have peace of mind that I wouldn't fry my $800 worth of cobs. 100$ shipping sounds high, you can pick economy shipping I think mine was 50$
For fan PS I ordered 12v 1a ( overkill I know, but the fans will only draw what they need) from eBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/371117456686?nav=SEARCH

I love my noctuna fans. Good choice.
As far as paste I used prolimatech pk-3. Artic silver gets...
Warmth and light moisture. They don't need light until the pop. They they need very little in the first few days. I never understood the paper towel thing. I always just put em in rapid rooter plugs. Good luck.
Like a dream...the hyperfan is quiet, nicely balanced, and well made. Uses way less power than the other inline fans. I run it at about 60% and you can't hear a thing. I give it amazon has them for the best price last time I checked. And the Phresh is everything that the rumors suggest, well...
About 600$ worth.
I'm happy and would order again.
He charged me $48.50/cob
Digikey 64$ / cob
Mouser 88$ / cob
Dhl flat rate of 50$
The shipment arrived in 2 days and jerry kept me posted throughout the process.
I would recommend them, happy customer. The fees had nothing to do with jerry...
