some smokin and random thoughts for the day
gonna 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
you Get way better pics, that being said you done a great job... hoping I get some big colas in my next run like yours, Peace brother
