Enjoy that birdseed man!Did the chop today @ 65 days 12/12, 9 weeks n 2 days.
Spent most of the day wet trimming, fkn exhausted. Using a multi tier screen rack for the dry.
Moved my veg gear into one of the flowering tents, and the drying rack went in the veg tent, scrubber on high, temps @ 70f and humidity about 60%, will monitor and adjust as I go along, will attempt a nice slow dry n cure.
Will upload some pix along the way.
A little chuckle for the evening....stay medicated

It has no letter. It is blank. It's an option I wasn't aware of when I ordered I thought wrongly that there was only a and b drivers.arrow.com listed it as dimmable by potentiometer. They have since refunded me the full purchase price as the spec sheet they were displaying was that of a b driver at the time of my purchase.
I'm out the duties on the shipment but that is all, so I'm not complaining in the least. As truthfully the blame lays half on me for not being more knowledgeable, But half lays on them for having misleading product informal that helped me make my mistake.

That cartoon is a riot! Those are some mighty thick and dense looking colas you have managed to produce. I'm sure trimming it all must have been quite the chore although I would wager it came with a strong sense of pride!

some smokin and random thoughts for the daygonna break dwn the main tent and redo some things
cords off floor all up high, do this right from the beginning, i put this off and it was a hastle later
clean up the wiring on the light fixture . i think ill redo all the wire connections with solder instead the ugly wagos, those things are touchy if you move the light around
these heatsinks work amazingly well on the strips, impressive...they are so cool running on the pvc frame....works fking fantastic as a frame.....@ 2" thick total light , think all the room you save. there is no bend or warpage, 1" pvc is pretty stout...... pvc pipe is naturally fire retardent/.....wire is the thing to worry about catching fire or overheating. The fixture is so light its very easy to adjust during the gro--invaluable. I will eventually frame them up with some nice metal -just have other things to do, but its working supprisingly well
want to add to the spectrum,
id like to have the option on the light with multiple drivers and mix of other lights....and be able to dim/raise light levels for each
ive got plenty space between each strip now, so lots of room to supplement and tweak the light for more spectrum...
all strips are 2 feet
main light bar 3k strips
strips between those of maybe 5k blue for additional goodness in the begininng part of flower/ either, or, and together
and UV and far red strips ....couple uv bulbs n couple fr strips. i think we're just around the corner for some addon red strips
run all seperate into one central swtich box, and be able to tun on/off/ dim each easily...easy to built just takes time.
4 fans in there now, more is needed, id like 4 on the floor, 2 above canopy, and then get a dimmer for each level to adjust breeze, on/off only sux... ideally id like to get one or 2 that rotate for above the canopy but im guessing theyd be noisy so i dunno...if the fan gets too bulky they block light
gotta break down the dam scrubber/ fan in the main tent....was not working properly thruout the gro and lucky this shit didnt smell too much like weed...
i think the fan unit is leaking, pulling unfiltered air through and out...cause i could smell when the lights went out..
its a hugely oversized carbon filter, and i think the fan has trouble pulling thru it (same cfm) , and leaks at its own seals (fan), its a piece of shit when i see how it connects together .. ....if there was major suction it would leak... so maybe i need a beter exhaust fan, stink is not something i want floating around.. i need to work on this first.
the smaller one in the veg tent works great, thats why im drying in it, go figure

Eff the wagos. Get some lead solder and heat shrink. Use the double wall shrink as opposed to single wall. Linemen splice those wires and solder them up, you cant go wrong. Also the lineman is the strongest splice you can choose, you're wires will never pull apart with that splice. I got a roll of cord management velcro strips. That's what I used to keep the wires neat In my tent. I cant wait to see what you do for a light. I also cant wait to get better from my injuries so I can build one from scratch. I got the qb kit which I did build to hold me over till then. I can always incorporate that into my next build which is nice.
Good luck figuring you fan stuff out!
Btw that nug you posted down below looks beautiful.
