Good luck on your grow, mate. It looks like a convenient little unit.

VerdantGreen's 63 Watt LED Micro Cab.
- Thread starter VerdantGreen
- Start date
crudvapors, OneQ - hi and thanks
ScrubNinja - yeah the unit is solid, and quite heavy, i modified the hanger it came with a bit because it wasted too much height, its also got a switch which fooled me one time - im used to plugging things in and them being on
k1net1k - thanks mate, i copied the method and the cab style from my bigger 250 watt cab where i use four plants with foot square screens made the same way. perhaps i should have been a bit more adventurous and tried something different - but on the other hand, if it aint broke then dont fix it!
---
not much to report but the plant is looking pretty happy and is growing. its a little colder than i would ideally like up there atm but just about within parameters.
soil temp is 65f which is just about ok (band is 65-70 ideally)
air temp is 60-72 - a little low but just about ok.
here she is - remember this plant was vegged under cfl and has only been in the cab for a couple of days

OG refugee here...first post on IC, but been lurking for a few weeks. Great site.
Currently resurrecting a small grow, first in 5 years. Amazingly, 3 out of 3 of my 5 year old nirvana NL beans germinated along with 3 of 3 of my old c99s. About 4 days in so far...
Going with CFLs (2x42w) now, but could definetly use the low profile of these LEDs. I'll be watching this grow. Good luck VG.
p.s. can anyone direct me to some sucessful height restricted grows?- have like 12 inches of head room in a file cab that's 22'' wide x 14'' deep. Don't smoke much so only looking to get an oz. or hopefully 2. Will probably make this my mother cab in the future...
Good luck again V

+Vibes, mini-mota, b00m - thanks for stopping by !
rumblefish7d - welcome to icmag!. i should take a look around this micro-grow forum for the limited height grows. i presume you mean 1 ft of space for growth ??.
sounds like scrog and a short plant like NL would be the way to go.
sleepy - its about 4-5 inches - just enough space to get me hand in basically. needed to save some height somewhere and im still slightly worried about stretch.

I would recommend getting your temps up if possible. When using these LED's, 80 degrees plus is advised. The plants really love the 85-90 degree point if you can manage it. It will help speed up the process By the way, everything looks great so far, love your little cabinet space!

I like the way the LED's look on the plants. Really interested to see how they work out for ya. good luck!
BENJI - hey mate thanks for stopping by. my main issue is height so the large shallow pot will hopefully do the trick. i plant to put 2 plants in there if its a less stretchy strain.
LEDGirl - thanks for the advice.85-90 thats pretty warm! they should love it up in my loft in the summer im doing all i reasonably can can to keep the temps up - it sounds like the weather is going to get milder here for a few days
MediScrogs - yes chaos here atm. a bit of cold weather and snow and the whole country grinds to a halt. it happens so rarely that there is no point in having the infrastructure etc to combat it - so we all just stay at home instead any excuse
df! - growth is steady - the screen is largely full now so i should start letting them grow upwards for the rest of the stretch ill try and get a photo tomorrow but its the school holidays again so i have very little time to spend with my plants
