I know you are modeling your build and grow after Master Level’s video, and I was wondering how you were going to do the drain part as from his video’s ML is on a concrete floor with drains. So I like the stapled on plastic to a bucket!


And I was wondering why you deleted your videos…I really liked them, so it turns out that vimeo is no fan of da herb. To bad.


Good to see the buds fattening up.

nice observation there, but I found his videos just at the exact time when all this ideas where born, so i was actually kinda amazed to find a grower that goes almost in the same direction as me
though my beds have wheels for maximum light usage and easy handling.
and I'm not planing to flush my plants so hard.
(and if I would want to I would just take them out at with the roots at harvest time and place them in a bucket of osmosis for a few days)

thanks for the positive.

Oops! My assumption on the videos...turns out great minds run together.

I think MLG flushes more than anyone I've seen. It works for him for sure. I just feed lighter and flush less. I run hempys and flush some every feeding...and easy to measure runoff.

I like the beds on wheels. Easy to move and maintain the girls then back up to reflective walls.:hump:

in the time I'm thinking of how to build the best panel for my situation i have started practice with my chinese leds to lower current, increase light spread and decrease heat.
I wired them parallel because that's the only option I had with this drivers.

~400w veg panel

all plants were growing in regular soil and received nothing but osmosis water till now.
clones and seeds. mostly LSD

~45w passive cooled clone\seedling light

after seeing that plants can re-veg from nothing but stalk and stems I have tried to take it a bit further, this plant were in the freezer for 3 weeks almost.
let's see if we can get any signs of life from him

I like your diy light bar! An excellent use of the heatsink squares with cob modules. The plants sure look happy.


I know you are thinking of running your cobs in parallel. You might run many cobs in parallel at the 20-25 watt range like you have mentioned with no issue. I think issues would be much less likely at low wattages and temps.


IMO if you want to keep the power down, use your reflective walls and get a good PAR meter. That way you will KNOW how many photons you are laying down on the girls and not burn a watt more than you have to.


I have tried revegging also, with mixed results. But I’ve never tried my hand a cryogenic cannabis by tossing them in the freezer! That will be a first for me to see!


Fun to watch you taking your operation to the next level!

So how is that first batch fattening up?

Looking great sir. I deleaf as well. Smaller scale but I get decent results.
Where did you get the temp meter? I like the options it has. Happy growing!

its actually pretty good, I'll make an update soon :)
I noticed your post over on "12xCXB3590 Passively Cooled." You have the building led light bar support structure and wiring cleanly in wire channels part down. Those passive heatsinks looked very interesting to me also and would go right in place of the led squares you use now! I would likely try those myself if I was starting over. I really like his swivel feature as well. I am interested to see what you come up with for your flowering light scheme.

Swivel feature! Great now I get to change my build again! Haha Brilliant idea. That will work with my plan to run 3ea 36" h/s at 36"x 44"
Cheers

currently
-soil (19l pots) and feeding with Bio-bizz.
-17x175w shitty chinese panels over 4m2 area
-burning natural gas to produce co2 1200-1500 ppm

the cool hood works amazing.
though I still need to add a stronger fan to pull the heat out even better.
the temps at day 24.5-25.5c canopy level (night ouside)
temps at night 21-22c

I got one dehumidifier and ac working
the humidity is 60-75%.
I guess I need another dehumidifier for better results

white and blue panles:
white14000k
red 660nm
red 630nm
blue 430nm
blue 450nm
Infra red 740NM 4LEDS

red panels:

Maybe I misinterpreted your post, "what exactly r these panels?" Please explain.
herbal essence has some chinese mono panels but they look rather white not as blurple and they seem to be doing a decent job

now he is taking them out of the cases and mounting them on channels

what exactly are these panels?

It seems white because I use what's called "custom white balance" for my canon DSLR.
[if I would point my camera with this settings at something white it would appear green (just as method seven glasses)]

Just some shitty panels from china.
I have already posted the wavelenghts but I guess I can't get more exact than that:
