Autoflowering Trip 2018

Hi bro!
What a great start!

Thanks to jump in bro !
The beginning of the season was a little tricky to start.
But here we are : few auto plants with a month of difference .
I have to be straight and aware on the turn over harvest/seedlings now .

I had to go 24h of light on sudden cold that's why plants had some little cal deficiencies .

But overall, it is already a quite nice start from my POV .
Keep on the good work with your bubblegums and Dreamberries !

Industrial Spying Session !

Industrial Spying Session !

WARRANTY REMOVED !
But Knowledge in !

What's in ? How it works ?

The active dissipator is a pc like gear but the thin dissipator is a copper one .

Epistar led (full spectrum ) are powered by 2 cheap drivers 50w in plastic protection, about 10 euros each .
Definitly not good meanwell ones ! But they made an effort on the copy with a NW logo !
The led need 4 connections to be powered .
The Epistar led is about 30/33 euros a piece .
(but nowdays this is also the price of a CXB 3590 cree COB 3500K .)
An active dissipator is about 10/12 euros (PC like )
The cooling fan is powered on one of the 2 drivers .

The reflector costs something and the metal box too . There's some wires and connections .
It's given for92/96w power consumption .

SO CAN BE DONE IN A DIY STYLE FOR VERY VERY CHEAP .
( And you can add some lens and things )

It was an interesting unboxing !

New Suns !

New Suns !

So,I received my two led panels today .
Made of two Cree cob with non removable lens reinforced with dimmable smg.
They suck around 160w each .

Brand hidden for some reasons.

 

[The_Skunkist]

Babies already love their new sun, nice intensity and no heat . Well, kind of fresh compare to hps 400w.

The little dieselZ auto are all enjoying their new sun in a 18/6 h cycle .

But this one started to run !

I like the possibility to make pictures easily also under this new led pannel . The colors stay real even if the light is purpleishing . Not a bad point at all !

A sample of Deimos (short and squat pheno) carrying few seeds on lower branches .

But all the plants are carrying some .

It's time to germinate some Sour Rocket 60 again to get an husband for the DieselZ auto .

But in full sun it's more like 20/23° . But as you can see , it is "fresh" today !

Let's check it Manually !

29°C

 

[JustSumTomatoes]

Can't complain about that. I'm waiting for the weather to break over here.
