I think you need to get that girl closer to the light.....you saw mine right?!? Mine looks like a coat hanger bent up for trying to get the car door open when you lock the keys in the car! Its all about how they finish.
Its in the middle of 6 plants, four are over six feet tall. Its about 3.5 feet from the light. Its in a contraption i made for the contest and on a bucket. i cant decide if i should light proof the cup or not. If i lift the top up i can see the water level from outside the "forest" because i can see through the cup. If i light proof it im going to have to get in the middle every time to see the water level. Its a tough call. Either way im slacking on putting the name and date on the cup so i really have to get my shit together. Im not cheatin though, that shitty sprout is unmistakable, and obviously not how to cheat if ya were planning on cheating. I think its going to straighten out in a week.......or die. And ya know they say, if he dies, he dies.I think you need to get that girl closer to the light
Thats funny, that was like my first idea cept i was going to have the wicks coming from above so i didnt have to put holes in the bottom. I might try it next cup cup. Hope you can tweek it right.I'm still testing my mods and making adjustments. Here's an over look. Seeds are still soaking. My place has been really cold indoors (making hash). Seeds are taking longer to sprout. Only the fem cheese has sprouted.
Here's the test and assembly
I'm doing a modified sip (sub irrigated planter) of this build. It's like using a blumats without the blumat.

First hefty brand 16 oz cup. With several holes on the bottom.

Then I cut the top of a water bottle and made some holes in it. This will be my wicking pot inside the cup.

Then filled wicking part with coco and then soil on top
Instead of the bottom of the cup being the resi and having to refill 20 times a day. I made holes in the cup and then it sits in a resi. Then I'm able to use air stones as well. This isn't the actual resi I'll be using. I need to go get a tray with a lid tomorrow. It's actually my trim bin

I'm thinking I need to make more holes in the water bottle part. It doesn't seem to be wicking water much. Still testing..... Before I had too many holes and it was over saturating. .
I made one like the diagram and one with a straw going down like larger sips eith pvc and realized how small the resi would be. I wanted to use air stones too.. Then it just donned on me to submerge it into a larger resi.Thats funny, that was like my first idea cept i was going to have the wicks coming from above so i didnt have to put holes in the bottom.

I would be worried about the loss of room in the cup for roots. My idea was an octopus looking thing that would have a bunch of cups surrounding the one grow cup. Wicks from all the cups right into the grow cup. Fill one or two when your sprouting, fill all six in bloom. I was stoned when i thought it up. No idea if it would work. I was hoping the other water rez cups being higher up would cause a syphon effect sucking water down. I did hard drugs as a kid, can you tell yet?I made one like the diagram and one with a straw going down like larger sips eith pvc and realized how small the resi would be.

That light looks great. Just what a guy needs in this situation. Man i was really hoping that the smoke cartel would come through with some killer glass for the contest. Their stuff looks so good but i cant afford it right now, and ive never owned a bong before. I gotta say that winning lights is pretty f'n bomb though.I got a little busy today after talking with @Rahz from Tastyled.com ... He seems quite interested in our little contest, and says he will happily provide a Tasty T1-2100 for the second place winner, and though we're not there yet, he wants in for #9 !
This T1-2100 is a perfect light for all you little cabinet growers! A single Cree CXB3590 driven with a Meanwell LPF series at slightly over 2 amps (almost 80 watts) makes for a highly efficient long living COB!
(^^^^^^^^LINK^^^^^^^^)
I'm a little jealous guys! These snazzy COB pre-fabs are outta my price point, winning one is the only chance I'd have to play with one! Good Luck Folks!
Go check out Tasty's website, check out their KILLER deals and real world science backing their claims! Give 'em a call or message them right here on RIU @Rahz if you have any questions!
I can't wait to see what you guys got in terms of skill! There's some pretty sweet gear lined up for those that can endure the test of time!
Thanks again Rahz! We're all excited about having a fantastic sponsor willing to give such a great prize to someone in the community. Feel free to chime in anytime around here brotha, questions, comments, advertising, hell even some shit talk would be fine!
I just did something similar to this as an experiment. Only no solid medium. Just water.I made one like the diagram and one with a straw going down like larger sips eith pvc and realized how small the resi would be. I wanted to use air stones too.. Then it just donned on me to submerge it into a larger resi.
