Damn, checked this morning and seem to have burning on it. I think it's from pH fluctuations. Shouldn't have gone away for the weekend lol
Need to come up with a way to have a big reservoir outside the Bubbler to make it easier for when I'm not about

Also been making progress with the new grow box

And more good news. My veros turned up finally. Can get them hooked up and installed. Can't wait for these. They're insanely bright! Want expecting much from them but they're impressive

Once I've got my new box set up I'll have 2 veros in that then a single in the current box.
I'm also planning on building a custom fit Bubbler Which would maximise space without needing to be to tall, well that's the plan lol

Got my veros setup ready to go in tomorrow, can't wait for these!

I removed the leaves that were badly damaged from pH fluctuations. Hopefully the new lights should get her back to where she should be in no time

Been getting to grips with the pH and TDs meter and seem to be ontop of it now without huge fluctuations

hide your rockwool from light, it can cause algae

Been working on the new box

Turning out pretty well so far, needs abit more work but its getting there

The new light seems to be working wonders as well. I've had to disconnect one of the LEDs due to heat issues

That box looks pretty cool, but how do you plan to manage the height and ventilation?

rosswaa · Aug 18, 2015

Abit of LST, maybe a screen. Ventilation I'll be putting a 4inch fan/filter combo in the new box. That should help keep the temp down with ducting running near the underside of the lights to pull the heat from the LEDs

Ok cool, and will you have any veg time or go 12/12 straight from seed?

I ask cos I've seen a grow journal of one guy who's growing in a very similar set up and who was complaining he ran out of vertical space.. It looks like a good idea though bro.

Ahhh I'm using an auto so 20/4 cycle all the way through. Should stay short just needs abit of training really

Just trying to decide on what filter/can combo to use. 4inch is plenty big enough

leave's sides curling up, probably light is too intensive or temperature too high

leave only one light on, should be enought in early stage

rosswaa · Aug 21, 2015

I've disconnected one of the veros untill the new box is setup has brought the temps down quite abit but the 80mm PC fan isn't cracking lol it looked alot worse the other day so has recovered somewhat

Getting bigger by the day, ppm is at 640ish and pH is 6.4 ATM will drop abit into the high 5s in the next few days

Coming along nicely, just impatiently waiting for Friday to order new fan/filter and then can connect the second vero up and get her in the new box

Gave up being patient, whacked a PC fan in the new box and wired up the vero with just the 1 cob running
Give the girl some more headroom and cooler temps

A little stumpier than I was hoping but she's got time to stretch her legs abit

internode is real low, you ll probably have a very bushy plant.
im using 2 vero 29 in 2x2x5, driving em on about 2.1amp each, still dealing with too high temps like 29-30c at night when lights are on. 19c at day, when lights are off. Now i think my buds wont be as big as ive expected, growing big bang auto, wish it could be easier with watering, cause im too lazy to water it like every 2 days now. Bought blumat jr's will see if they ll help me a wee bit.. Wish u luck, im following

Yeh, saying that it was tied down to train it sideways for the space, but now there's more headroom I've untied so will see if she stretches out

Yeh you're pushing them more than me, they're meant to be more efficient when driven more though I think?
what ventilation do you have? I'm waiting on payday so I can order new fan and filter and a few other bits

I'm toying with the idea of building a peltier water cooling unit aswell

You have a thread up?

ive somewhere read that it is best way to drive vero29 on 2.1amp compared to efficiency but then youll have to hold them about 18-24inch from plant tops, but im not sure where i have read that..
using "black orchid" 4" inline fan with filter it cost me about 40pounds together
and no i dont have a thread. But i can post few pics here in about 1hr when my lights ll turn on if u want

rosswaa · Aug 24, 2015

Yeh sounds good. I know the black orchid fan doesn't shift much air because its made to be quiet and for LED's if I'm thinking of the same fan
