What kind of heat was the 1K putting out?

@SomeGuy is building some easy to make killer LED lights. All of the evidence is in favor of LEDs. It is what NASA is using to grow food in space.

I'm leaning towards building one seems super easy. Just gotta do the reading.

not sure Mo but the vid is

yeah i've been watching someguys progress for a while, i'm not too tech with electrics tbh. out the box is more my bag lol.

in uk the raw materials or rather the Led's would be pretty costly. or they were, i might have a look and see what's changed

He measured the light output at two feet from each light but you put the LEDs closer to your plants. He should of done the test at the working distance. I'm still not sold on LEDs but I didn't think it was an entirely fair comparison

good point osc, i hadn't considered that

My mate is an electrical engineer, mainly lighting design for oil rigs and such like. He reckons an LED net would be the best thing....especially for a vertical grow.

He's always threatening to make one and I am like. Well go on then ffs.

aye I've seen them for Xmas trees n thought that'd be good but I dunno about the workings. All the panels have a bit more to them than just a big transformer plug on the end of the cable.

an led grow cage with semi rigid wire would be pretty badass to grow in.

so there seems to be a good half dozen showing sex. Few ups n downs. Nice smelling deep blue.

weird knowing this is the last time I'll see this place and probably most of the plants.

Good luck m8

cheers doc, really makes me want to get cracking back home really bad hah prep is key tho.

Thanks for watching over everything. It's nice that the plants are getting love from an international assortment of caretakers. Good luck tomorrow bud.

Japan takes top honors and now the scots are having to reach beyond their borders for help

Is Scotch whisky about to go Dutch? Farmers in the Netherlands growing barley to help Scotland meet huge demand for the drink in China and Russia

Huge demand for Scotch whisky in markets such as China and Russia has led to claims that Scotland cannot grow enough barley to keep up.


cof

thanks guys. Off to hopefully get picked up by my pre booked taxi lol.

@cof Scotland has been slipping a few years, losing out to yamazaki for top spots. Though the puritans out there wouldn't call their brew whiskey

If interested in LED tech you should check out Stockbridge Technology Centre (CTC Ltd) in Selby Lad's.

They're at the forefront of R+D in the UK and have an LED research greenhouse.

The wavelength of the LED's is computer controlled.

They're not far from me if they did public visits I'd be on it.

Oh aye, you need a whole load of other stuff as well, but as he explained it all those gubbins can be outside your room with just the lights in there. The current LED panels are all in one type set ups.

intereshting mishter bond.

well that's me landed back in toon. totally knackered, so glad to be in my own pit tonight. that pump was seriously screwing with my sleep pattern. spanish water pump torture ffs.

taxi arrived bang on time both trains were late. I got to the airport with about 10 to spare and the check in woman was like you'd best run they're boarding now. I was like err really it should be open for like 45 minutes so off i jogged from terminal 1 to 3. queue jumped 200 folks legged it only to find the lass i'd asked thought i was on easyjet not jet 2. couldn't go back through for food once inside.

my lass has only got 2 steaks in for me tea. she's a belter that one. nothing to go with em mind but still two steaks haha.

the snip of pink lemon i took a week back is just about to get legs and was nearly out of water! well i think a quick dive in the shower and i'm off for a swally.

Welcome home Don!

cheers Mo! it's good to be back. though my gf is away til wednesday. chomping at the bit is the wrong expression but you get the jist haha

Way to go getting home. Thanks again. Glad it worked out for you.

hahah you act like i'd never make it back J lol and worst case scenario I'd have just waited for DST to show up at the airport and come back a couple days later. I'm pushing my luck with time off as it is, i want a bit later in the summer for my birthday. going to france hopefully.
