Been waiting for this ... how i managed to miss it this far i have no idea

Good Luck Riddle ... lets see how this all works out .... I'm looking forward to following this and picking up lots of tips and exploring lots of experiments along the way

Subbed ...Hook... Line ...sinker ... rod ... fisherman ..peer ......

ditto. if there was a thanks button or something i'd have hit it, as there isn't i must now waste a whole post thanking you for sharing the pix so you know they are appreciated. thanks man!

riddleme · Jul 14, 2010

you don't have to thank me

looking at the babies this morning I now see the same little heads popping that I saw on the 1st one yesterday so all 4 are going pic's again once we have coty's

riddleme · Jul 14, 2010

I just took some pic's to make a point in a thread where they were asking how far a 400 watter should be from the canopy

I thought I would share them here as well so you can all see them

As I stated in the thread my light is 4 and 1/2 feet above the seedlings and they are gettin 5000 lumens

gumball · Jul 14, 2010

Just for arguments sake on the last post. Would you put up something to similate the canopy so we can see the lumens as the bottom branches would see them? Like you did with the overcast sunlight and full sunlight.

Not sure I have anything at the moment, but will see what I can do

I planned on taking these kind of pics through out the grow so for sure will be able to see once it gets going

riddleme · Jul 14, 2010

Ok put one of the ol lady's plants down there and the lumen count is cut in half, but please note that all of this is 15 inches below where the bottom of the canopy will be once they are in the 5 gallon pots

took a close up of the light sensor so you could see I put leaves over it

gumball · Jul 14, 2010

So that's close to the 3000 lumens per sq ft that some peolpe use as a guide. not that I use that as a guide, since matilda and some of sicc's party cups I am not so concerned with super high output lights and what not. Just enough light so the plants do well.

riddleme · Jul 14, 2010

I took a few more to show what I meant about the 5 gallon pots so you could see that I have set it up to hit the top of the buckets with 7000 lumens

gumball · Jul 14, 2010

I just remembered you got that new camera right before you harvested tilda! Finally getting to put it to good use along with the CMH!! Looks awesome!

riddleme · Jul 14, 2010

yeah I can hardly wait to see bud porn under this light, takes great pics

Rocky Mountain High · Jul 14, 2010

It is a clone from a bigger one that was given to us as a house warming gift, I think it is recovering???

Ahhh, on the mend !

well got the secret experiment all set up and ready

and to see if you can guess here is your first clue (pic)

it is a digital thermostat (you can get em at wal-mart for like $24) hooked to a 12 volt 10 amp relay and that is wired to a 12 volt pwr supply,,,,,so basically this is a switch that is controlled by temperature and can turn on a 10 amp device

any guesses???

Temp controlled switch for an infrared light/heat source? :joint:

EDIT: My stoned ass needed to rewrite this! It will control your computer fans near the floor of you grow area. Turning them on and off when triggered by heat from the burner on your gas water heater. Moving CO2 rich air through the grow area. How is that for a guess. LOL
