btw just got an idea to separate the unused space in pc and put a mother or few seedlings there then just move em to flower part
this will speed up the harvests right?

the case is big enough for that me thinks. will need another timer and some leds hm..
im gonna think about it :)

No no that's just a high tech article about how they use all that stuff to make led chips etc, there's no gas in those bulbs......."bulbs" in fact. They are a bitch to open sometimes I've only cracked a few myself, I guess plugging them in for s bit could help.

Ahh wait, there's a trick one of those guys BL ynx?

They said to drill two holes, opposite enough to put a rod through, like a skinny screwdriver. And twist it off

thx chronosync for clearing this up.
btw ive opened both bulbs had to hit it really! hard with hammer but it did not broke into small pieces its not glass eventually it came off after it been hitten few times. /imagine those pingpong balls it behaved the same way.. it did not broke just deformed the shape of bulb allowing it to came off easy it felt off alone/

will post some updates later today how things are looking currently..
stay tuned.

will reposition those lights like this: 15w led /warm light/ will be pointed @durban
12w led /cold light/ will be @vanilla
23w cfl will be @top

plenty of unused space right?
working on it as stated earlyer gonna put more lights/leds/ in and use empty front space for more plants next run.

Ahh yes now where were we? They look nice man. I know they will grow with light and nutrients and air. I forget what you are feeding tho

hm currently @600ppm will start to go up to 800 slowly next weeks feed will be @700 coz there is enough light now when the lightning is upgraded.
more light = more they will eat right?

im feeding em advanced nutritients of holland bloom + micro and starting to add also seaweed from now on
they are @day 56 from seed as of today..

this is like the first day of the rest of theirs life with these leds
:D

really feel excited about this finally fixed grow space after years of shit/no air exchange at all + temps crazy high + tons of ona gel used/
there is no more need to use ona which is awesome!

I did not expect to work it this good at all but it is working great!
:)

True but i'd stay at 600 till you start to seeing that they need more, might be surprised that they probably won't need to go higher, just consistent waterings.

Could be wrong but better safe than burning them :tiphat:

Keep it up.
