Ok....Χρόνια Πολλά,παρεμπιπτόντως ....
 
Plants of this test group (all White Russians ) were topped* yesterday ...
For two more weeks they will be kept in vegetative state ,before turned into flowering ...

As long as they are more than two ,yes they move enough air ....
Personally I use from 3 up to 8 fans ( cheap $5 ,120 mm ,12 Volt ) ,depending on the number of plants ....

Sometimes ,I get some leaf tip curling ..(Dried up ,'cause of the non-oscillating stable air current ) ,but only when plants are young ...

...Still ,they are a bit noisy ,those pc -case fans , also ...

Third day after topping ....
Recovery ,is beyond ideal ....
P5106542.JPGP5106543.JPG...
Although there might be,also, a slight pH problem ....
Some curling is there ..(' dry-ups ' )

Edit : Also ,I do not like that much ,the dark green leaf color,of two of them ....
It "yells " excess Nitrogen assimilation ...
Which might be a sign of being males ....
 
Some more from the first "test group" of the 3 regular (from seed ) White Russians ....
-Distance Leds-canopy : ~ 35 cm
-Central-"vegging "- box ,set at ~650 mA ,rest two-"flowering"- at ~350mA.
-Cycle : 20/4
-Nutes : Mineral Salts .Ascophyllum Nodosum Extracts.Mix of AminoAcids,Carbonhydrates and Vitamins .Betains.ASA.
-Water : Tap water .Bad Quality .

Boxes seem to perform fine ...
 
i followed you for a long time...you have really good experience for leds..

What dimensions your grow tent ?

108 leds enough for that space ?
 
1x1 meters "floor" surface ... ( ~ 3' x 3' )
1.6 height ...

108 Oslons for 1 square meter ?

More than enough ....

Up to 7-8 plants can be grown at that space ,with those three GD-SDS boxes ...
But I'm pretty satisfied with one or two plants ,anyway ....
 
wow...quick reply

may i learn your leds beam angle (probably 80) and consume wattage ?

thanks for reply
 
Yes, 80° ...

Everything*,at max settings** ,have a power ,a bit less than 300 Watts, at plug...

* .... "Everything" ,stands for :

-108 leds
-6x fans (48 V ,0.05 A )
-9x buck drivers ( Recom )
- Main Power unit ( MeanWell )

**..."Max settings " stands for :
All 6 fans driven with 57 Volts -at their max ( adjustable range : ~ 39-57 V )
and all 108x leds driven at @700mA .. ( adjustable range : ~140-700 mA )
