I am after a reliable mains timer as I keep buying ones off ebay/amazon and they are just complete junk.. they usually fail within about 3-7 days of usage...
the 7.5V 400mA AC/DC supply should be fine.. just splice the wires.. Make sure you insulate the connections and solder them well.. However worst case scenario is just destroying the PSU anyway so its not too dangerous..Possible fire hazard though.
30CFM is sort of minimum what I would put in...
Hey thanks for the reply.. I have 2 foot upwards space minus the space the lights take (I am growing the plants downwards.. they are balancing on books at the minute and I am removing them all the time as they just keep growing!
The floor space is shy of 1foot square.. so not great.. about 0.7...
Just doing an update with a load of photos to show you guys how they are getting on..
Both plants have exploded again in past week, over course of 10ish days they have gone from 5 leaves to almost 30 leaves..
I have decided to put them both on flowering as from today, doing 12/12 with 2700k...
Okay so the plants both seem to be doing fine to me..
They are just not stretching AT ALL!! from what I have seen from other peoples LSTing it seems these plants are LSTing themselves.. really bushy and just growing need leaves all over the place..
Here are some photos
I have taped down the...
Where did you find those light fittings on moveable tubes? they are awesome.. subbed this is such a nice setup, When I get my own house I will do something similar, until then its pc cases for me..
I have been thinking about this a lot.. Either that one you showed or multiple thin tube cfls http://www.amazon.co.uk/Energy-Saving-Light-6500k-Daylight/dp/B000I6KQ1O/ref=sr_1_1?s=lighting&ie=UTF8&qid=1366053292&sr=1-1 that kinda thing
I can get 11w long thin 2700k cfl tubes for quite cheap...
I don't really think heat is much of an issue at the minute for me. I have 2 thermometers in at the minute and I have about 29-31 degrees at the lights but the one at the level of the plants stays between 23-28 degrees so should be the right temperature.
I am going to do a big update tomorrow...
Thanks, I did try a lot to make it nice and clean inside.
I have at the minute 5x25W CFL's with a total of 8000lumen..
I am kinda worries about all the lights being at the top.. I wish i had some down the sides for flowering and such but just can't find the space.. wish there was a super flat...
Hey man thanks a lot, I will be sure to check it out..
What kind of yields and time frame have you got up to now in the PC box with both hydro and soil?
Well what a difference a week makes..
It turns out my mistake was not putting in any nutes at all in my coco/perlite mix.. Apparently the plant should have everything it needs but mine seemingly didn't
As soon as I put in some half strength nutes the plant just exploded.
I am now watering it...
Windburn.. that one is new to me.. theres like no breeze in there though.. ? I thought maybe underwatering and humidity.. I noticed my humidity is only 20% in the box for some reason.. so I have watered the shit out of them today and misted them with a sprayer.. I have reduced the fans too to...
