hey tim,

Hell ya. Its been running bright for a few weeks now. Everything worked out fine. Realstyles gave me some help at the very end and kite highs old posts convinced me to add a uvb tube.



Hers a pic showing two weeks growth. The little lady in the front in first pic, I put her outdoors for now. Days are rapidly getting shorter.

I also raised the panel about 4 inches. Ive been playing around with the lenses removing and then retuning, not sure on those.

@testiclees growing in a bath ? may we see your full setup ?

ya sure, ill need to take few pics. i use a 480 cfm fan and a large phresh 6" , the flow thru style where there are no holes on the cannister just openings on each end and baffles inside. I have the exhaust connected directly to the bathrooms hvac vent. The exhaust air makes a gentle fresh breeze into the 3rd floor bathroom directly above. The room has no windows the room is 4' x 8'. I use saucers for the pots but it still gets grimy. I foliar 2x weekly. Its easy to lift the plants out and scrub everything down. Afterwards it is amazingly bright in there. I use double white shower curtains and have a basic box fax blowing down from close to ceiling. I dont practice flushing but i do use drenches and its no problem overflowing tbe saucers and thoroughly soaking the pots.

People have made a lot of funny bathroom grow jokes! It works great for me and its reflective and very cleanable and private!

@testiclees have you thinked about flood and drain system in bath tube ? i think it would be epic

I havent.
im a rather new grower and im trying to master "high brix" growing technique. Ive had good results but i am shooting for virtuosity. I use tested soil with amendments and foliars.

Im not opposed to testing out another technique when i feel satisfied with the brix results.

Do you think that flood and drain supplies a more robust stream of nutrients that could better keep pace with demands from the high irradiance?
