Club 600

[AlphaPhase]

Yup yup, just top it off (I make the water line where the pvc of the manifold bottom starts). I top off every week or so (thanks for reminding me lol, it's probably time for me to top it off now) and no problem man, this will be your savour

 

[GemuGrows]

OK damn I was gonna say.

Makes more sense lolol

Yep the 1000w probably would have done pretty nice on its own, but i had spare cash sitting around and I got a really nice deal on the LEC (I ended up paying like $190 for it brand new, including my old 600w system which I sold to a buddy for $130) so I figured I might as well add one in. I think it upped my temps by like 2-3f.

Braai is on the cards for today. Just been down to a park for a train ride with the Yin.
Got the timer on the pump and added a block off ice and a freezer pack in the interim. Temps in the water are down to 23. Also got frozen water bottle getting ready to put in there until we can get some decent temps in this mofo!!!

Pool shock, lol....like we have loads of pools in The Netherlands, Alpha haha. I doubt it's the water, and the pump is......pumping! If keeping the temps down doesn't work I will look for something like pool shock. Although I am not sure where I will find it.....

Don't let alpha fool you. He's a pool shock rep on the weekend. Lol j/k.
I'll be taking some super lemon haze cuttings this weekend to finally start my perpetual cycle with my (3) 600 watters. My slh mom is a 54-60 day flower girl. So every 3 weeks once it's going I'll be chopping.

I have enjoyed using relay timers since needing them for
mushroom fruiting chambers years ago. I use mine to time
the water pump and have the air stones on 7/24.

I am trying chlorine as well....started my very first hydro run
and a heat wave comes along. Ah well. Live and learn. :0)

Tell me about the heat. Temps have been over 95 with a low in the low 70's. Both of my window a/c units have been struggling miserably and tripping circuit breakers.
I need to relocate a 220v line, but it is in the attic-no flooring, just rafters and the heat is un-bearable. I'm hoping for a break from this heat....also, no rain. The plants look good, though

I'm testing the 40w LED shop lights and so far, I'm impressed. I'm getting better growth from 3 of them than from a 6 bulb T-5

The hth is a clorine shock and should be available from a swimming pool supply store.

[Javadog]

Thank you for the time cof. I tried bleach and overdid it. OK, drain and refill, again.

I do not care too much about it. I am too busy to make the easy. LOL

How big is the clones you are taken?

From tip to toe the biggest is 6 inch (rooted and in a pot now, but it's a plemon which roots as you walk past it!). The smallest clone is probably about 4 inch from tip to toe. Same size as I usualy take for jiffy plugs.
I was hoping the aero cloner would save me time, lol,,, fukking ice bootles, ice packs, checking temps, bore off already Think I'd rather go back to the odd spritz with a water bottle, lol. Right, gonna take some clones in Jiffys and the race is on!

Lol, I found some on Amazon (US seller) but it was like 12 x 1lb bags....I doubt I'll need that much. And I can only imagine the postal cost!

i just bought 2 boulderlamp.com cdl agro 315 watt lamps..paid $500.00 per lamp.. i was told each 315 watt cdl can cover the same area as my 600 watt hps..what is the difference between your growerhouse 315 watt lec and my boulderlamp 315 watt cdl? are they the same thing just different manufacture?
the sep issue of high times did a thing on best grow lamps and the 315 watt cdl actually had better par than a gavita pro de 1150watt at 2 ft from bulb..
i just got them so i cAnt say if they will be better or worse than my 600 watt hps,,but im hopefull as it can really save me on electric costs..ive noticed since switching lamps tighter node space and less stretch in the first 2 weeks of flowering..
so whats the dif between lec and cdl?

 

[whodatnation]

Someone say braai? This shoulder stayed on for 16hrs day befor yesterday, came out fantastic. Found out I'll be missing the BBQ brew fest this September, I was gonna enter with pulled pork. Unfortunately I'll be out of town visiting my mother who's having some health issues, it ain't good.

 

[DST]

Sorry to hear about Mom whodat. All the best.

Just a few boereworst for the braai tonight. Nothing snazzy like a chunk of meat.....Unfortunately

They are different names for the same tech, in my understanding.

Lec stands for light emmitting ceramic. And cdl is ceramic discharge lighting.

The real differences are with the bulb used and the ballast to power them.


Mine are from advanced tech lighting, I'm about to be in the room shortly I'll see if I can snap a pic.

Here's a pic from advanced tech lighting website. They use a Philips 4k bulb with mogul socket and Philips 315w ballast, dimmable to 220w if warranted.

I think I paid $220 per kit but i had to get a reflector and ceramic sockets/wiring. Still worth it in my book!

I will add that I had to purchase a step up/down transformer to run these lights from a 110v socket. the ballasts run from 220v.

 

[genuity]

Lec is bad ass....

At the same height above canopy,as a 600 blue...
The lec reads x10 320fc & the 600 blue reads x 10 130fc

 

[Mohican]

@curious old fart - run a temporary 220 line using romex or conduit right through the house.

How old are the wall units? I replaced mine and it ran way cooler and used a tenth of the energy!

Lol, well, hot tubs or juzcuzzis and the like all use the stuff too! After you had issues with bacteria on your cuttings stems , did you run a high concentration of bleach and water through it for a couple hrs? Once the bacteria has gotten in a cloner, it's really hard to get it out because it lives in every nook and cranny and will come back round after round, even if the Temps are cool (it usually happens from too hot of Temps, but after its established it lives in any Temps really). You'll need to disinfect it, even the foam inserts (I'd suggest buying new ones or boiling them for an hr or so). Good luck man

Ps. Stem rot from cloners is on part with broad mites and root aphids fwiw, really bleach that thing with lots of bleach
