What do you mean too cold for HPS? That makes almost no sense. Too Hot I can understand, no problem. But cold???

 

[Moflow]

4 x Royal Gorrillas in 10 litre pots transplanted to ~25 litre pots.
Compost and perlite, sprinkle of Epsom salts in base.
Mild feed with Tomatorite , 4 litres per pot. Warmed water up a bit as tap water is freezing cold.

Vegged under 3 x Samsung F strips at 84 watts. 24hrs lights on to compensate for the cold.
Total number of plants under the light was 14. 4 in 6" pots 4 in 3" pots 2 in yougert pots.

The plants are now in the 4 x 4.
I've turned off the hlg 550 , put it to side of tent
They are under the Scope upgrade light. 200 watts. About 16" away. I'll veg for a week then flip to flower.


The lights and heatmat were off all night so it' was initially cold in there.



You'll not know them in a week.... lol
The Moby Dick and the Royal Gorrillas are now under the FOTOP Boards, disco boards, Quantum boards, Growgreen boards etc etc etc

Enjoy

It's just typical British humour, humor lol

 

[Moflow]

@Stephenj37826 has some 288s with those in it that he was telling me about... I had never heard of them and was wondering if anyone knew anything about them and how they worked...

I think you might be speaking aboout the 324s?? I know Prawn tried those, they were extra red/high cri boards. I think he kitted someones grow them, liked what he saw and designed the High lights.
They werent a complete hit, i believe the paper stats didnt look too great but seemed to do thhe trick to me. But hard to say if it was the leds or the high cri/extra red. I believe they were sub lm301b as far as photons.

He said they were too costly for what he wanted... Ill take em off his hands and cee what they do... I have lights that i can add to them in a tent if needed...

Nice, I really like diyled's lights

I just appreciate the fact that he went out of his way to look out for me like that...

For comparison
Here's a par map of a Scope 275 V2 in a 32" x 32" - 0.8m x 0.8m tent at 12" - 300mm
Pretty good numbers.

 

[Moflow]

I sorted the hanging height properly with the par meter.
4ft x 4ft - 1.2m x 1.2m tent
The light measures 19.6 inches x 24 inches - 500mm x 615mm


The Scope 240 is set at 200 watts, 26" - 66cm above the canopy.
I done a par map at Canopy level to show what it's capable of.

Nice numbers for 200 watts in a 4 x 4 for vegging.

It's all about the reflections....



So far so good.
Insulation is coming this week lol

 

[Moflow]

Temperatures are arising in the tent at last.
Done a MacGyver with some parts I'd lying about.
I'm now using a 3" - 80mm 12v pc fan to remove air from the tent.
I attached it to a Gelid solutions fan speed controller, running it on minimum ~5v.
Running it off a Meanwell APV 1212 Driver.
The carbon filter and main 4" - 100mm fan are now recirculating the scrubbed air in the tent.
5 hours later and temps were reading 21 - 22°C 69 - 72°F.
I'll keep an eye on it this evening but so far so good.
