yo, time for an update
Got some Cree XPE chips and drivers and put them in chinese flood lights.
Looks like a pretty good build.
Applied a little bit of Arctic Silver thermal compound
I took off the reflectors as there was some light going under.. But I might use a CFL Clamp reflector.
Depending on how hot these get, I might take off that tape.. doesn't really need to be there
So far the passive cooling is working well
Very bright and high quality color.. looks same as my hans
2 are flowering right now
I caught what i think is a magnesium deficiency before it was too late. On the bigger plant on the left, the leaves went from dark green to fading yellow over the course of 3-4 days. I fed with magnesium same day and I think it stopped the deficiency. On my other plant(who is 7 days younger), I fed mg when I saw this happen and she is still fine.
I threw the warm white XPE into the tent.
Best thing about these floods are how easy they can be adjusted to fit your grow =D
I really need to super crop these plants next time.. very stretchy sativas
The warm white adds some interesting color to the tent.. much better =D
I topped the harle and took a clone. hopefully some quick roots this time using the new method
The smallest one in the pot was a flowering clone and has been growing non stop.
All of its leaves are completely full of resin
I was under the impression that it wouldn't grow vertically while it was transitioning from flowering to vegging, but really it started growing right after root
Peace
