Ttystikk's vertical goodness

Interesting... I've seen other people say they thought the 3070's grew better bud also. Will be nice when we have enough grow data to see how the new brands and chips compare to previous builds

I ant really say since I have a mix in my tent, but the back had the 3000k 80cri and yielded better consistently, but that could be better climate in back or selectivity etc...
my 3000k are cxa3070 btw and the front are cxb3590 so go figure

thankfully i have not had a budgie or bird escape..mistakes can happen but fortunately i am uber vigilante..and probably the element of luck comes in too

I misread something whilst drinking, apologies.

I misdrank something while reading once, that didn't turn out well, either.

Maybe the CXB were just more expensive, but not really better

At least they aren't worse. Don't Say they're worse, I'm running them!

What factors could make the 3070's better than the 3590's? askinng because i'm running some 3590s myself

Well if the cxb are worse (not saying they are) then Id love to see what you can do with the best!
In my case its not a fair test, just progressive observation.
I switched locations, but in a tent this size they are all getting overlap from the 12 cobs in a 2x4ft space

I cant see any factors that would make them better except that I am running 3000k in the cxa3070s, and 3500k in the cxb3590s (I dont know what spectrum is better and might be certain specrums favor certain strains even?)
There could be other variable like the back cxa part has the more direct feed from the intake fan and the lights are spaced differently on the different fixtures

 

[pop22]

Maybe a different phosphor coating? These are not intended for the horticultural market, or that is my understanding of them.

Wouldn't be the first time we resourceful potheads have creatively repurposed items "not intended for growing"...

 

[bassman999]

I re-purpose lots of things, and I believe these are intended as street and parking lot lighting primarily, and as accent lighting indoors secondarily.

and i was sorry to hear about your cockatiel..they are wild wonderful and strange birds

So here's a quick look at the tub with a hole cut in the bottom for the netpot bucket lid. Bricks to hold the tub above the netpot. I'll fill the tub with substrate, put this mess inside a bigger tub, add enough nutrient solution to get the netpot wet and voilá! SIPS in Tupur, on the bricks;

This looks to be going in the right direction. You will like the yields from something that big. I highly suggest agitation or aeration in the rez. But I just remembered you are using solution in the rez so maybe no... lol. Still looking really strong there ty

The plan is to aerate and circulate water in the tubs just like I did when I was running RDWC- in fact, I'll be using exactly the same tubs and plumbing, lol! The only difference will be that I'm not planning to chill the nutrient solution.

Thanks for the encouraging words, much appreciated! I think I'm doing pretty good considering I'm using 5 gallon buckets, but I'm looking to pull 2 pounders plus and that's why I had to try something more.

This approach is meant to give me all the advantages of unlimited access to water, plus the advantages of a soil substrate. We'll see how it works!

It works. I have been doing it. Just w organic soil and water only. But I do not see why it wouldn't work. I will be experimenting w using rez nutes w organics in the near future though.

The only thing my girls lack is enough water and nutes. I'm very interested in hearing how your experiments develop.

 

[bassman999]

Maybe I should try this in a tent

With a wick that large, you want to keep no more than a couple inches of water in the lower tub for a recirculating setup. I've built them using match pair of tub. Let the wick do its work.

As Soon as I have enough light, probably more Quantum boards, I'm going to do my first vertical using a 10 gallon sips. Got my seeds, TGA's Nine Pound Hammer.

I can't wait to see your new light in operation! You going to drive the soft?

I have lots of new lights to test. First up is the new Razor 250 bars.
