I'm in. Nice set up! One day I'll be part of the cool crowd and have some kick ass lights. Seriously it looks outstanding!
Really like your lights !Hi @Flatrate
Saw your post - I like the automated hoist idea very much. We did a similar build with a crank style hoist for a large area and it worked well. Let us know if you need any assistance, looking good so far.
Have a good day.
Best,
Dan
If that's the worst you'll be OK lol speaking of fuck up I took off Saturday night & didn't make sure my plant was hydrated enough yesterday morning I opened the tent to this I about shit my pants & believe it or not she recoveredView attachment 4395962 View attachment 4395962Here is an update for ya......
So yesterday I was sitting here thinking about my plants. First grow was auto's, and this second grow (current) are photos, and was thinking about the different growth rates. My autos grew like all get out. These have seem to be taking their time and I was sitting at my desk in my home office and started going over things in my head. I was doing a few dabs throughout the morning, drinking some beer, I work third shift by the way. Started running down the list.
My thoughts......
Maybe this is the difference between autos and photos?
Am I watering them to much?
Maybe its the nutes I am using, I am still new to this NFTG?
Hell I am new to all this still?
Maybe the seeds were bum? But two different breeders?
Why aren't they reaching for the light like they did when growing autos?
Maybe the light is too strong for them right now? Yes I've vegged them since seeds under this light, just wanted to do it once. LOL.
Maybe the light is too far away? Maybe I should lower it?
Then it hit me, and I started to laugh my ass off. My girlfriend came to the door way to see whats going on.
I never turned up the fucking light! According to Timber its dimmable down to 10%, I am sure thats accurate so I was roughly seeing 95 watts all this time. So after the laughing stopped I did another dab, grabbed another beer and opened the tent and twisted the little black nob some. Last night when getting ready for work I checked on them, they had their high heels on and were dancing to the disco light. Standing tall and proud! I only got it turned to about 1/4, don't what to shock them going to raise it slowly.
Thats my story, I am an idiot!
Steady as she goes , you're on the path to happiness youve got a lot of light there usually takes mine a week or so to acclimate to the intensity I have no dimmer on my cobs , if I had it to do it over I would be running the 4 cob timber in my 3x3 rain Dan is the man I'm saving for the 4-cob vero that fits my 3x3 nowOkay so yesterday I gave the light another bump, and they didn't like it. Did that in the late morning and when I got up last night for work and checked on them, the girls were having a taco party. I noticed the tent temp was 84. Lately I have been running passive air in and have been holding around 75 degrees. So I turned the light down a tad, and turn the intake fan on low. This morning things look decent.

Everything seems good. Giving them a tea day tomorrow and the upping the feed a bit the next.
@RainDan I checked out the Instagram deal last night, very cool. Seems like people are digging it.
Edit- I should have added that the temps outside are a bit high for this time of year.
