Diary PCBuds mini-grow

[piramidon]

...And I had a magnetic wand to demagnatize my head.

Really? I thought that's why you grow weed.

I wrap my head in tin foil to demagnatize it. Lol

Which of the heads, tho? You guys got me confused.. My heads may be all magnetised and I don't even know..

Pictures from today.

The plant is kinda weird looking it looks kinda scrawny.

It's all sticks and buds.
I suck at guesstimation, but I'm pretty sure that she's well over 100 grams?

She's 10 weeks and 1 day old today, and looks like she's finishing up, but I think that I'm going to grow her out longer?

 

[ReikoX]

She probably has another week let in her. I'll guess 128 grams.

 

[PCBuds]

I tried to take some close-ups.

That's a pretty specific guess. Lol

As always she's foxtailing, so I need to look at the middle of the buds to try and judge where she's at.

She is still pretty thirsty even without all those fan leaves.
She's drinking almost 2 liters a day.

 

[PCBuds]

She's got a lot of little round leaves.
I don't know what those are ?

 

[exploziv]

Looks good!

 

[PCBuds]

Looks good!

Thanks exploziv.

And I had a magnetic wand to demagnatize my head.

I couldn't find my head demagnatizer. I'm not sure if I still have it?

It looked exactly like this.

I had a girlfriend that wore hearing aids and it had a T switch to help her hear on the phone.

It picked up the magnetic field from the speaker in the phone.

I got her to turn the T switch on and I buzzed hear head with the demagnatizer.

She got a big kick out of it.
It sounded like Luke Skywalker's light saber. Lol


I don't know if her T switch would work with the cell phones of today?

I'm sure new hearing aids use something like Bluetooth?

 

[f-e]

Looks like something to stop your light saber pointing north

At some point you should treat yourself to a CC supply. I imagine the ebike charger is for 36v but could be 24v in some markets. 4 amp is quite typical for them. It could be worth a peek inside.
It would be a shame to see all your LED's burn up, saving 15$

I thought you might of messed about with the first four first. You must have money to burn

Well, I changed my mind.
And I didn't wait for anything to arrive. lol

I decided to buy fuses and not use the CC regulators.


8 regulators would take up a lot of space and waste a lot of energy.

So I wasted $38.16 CAD on regulators, heat sinks, and thermal glue.
It's still pretty neat stuff to have though. Everybody should have a few CC CV regulators. Lol

And I spent $19.20 CAD (with tax) on fuses and fuse holders.

I figure fuses are all I need, and they don't waste power (except for a small amount of resistance across the fuses and holders).

I've only had one incident of the lights getting away from me in two years with my power supplies.

 

[f-e]

I would think the boards waste 10%.
Without them, the lights could easily creep up 10%
I would put them to work. You have them. Be a waste not to use them. Even if just on a couple of strings.

The fuses and holders will be here in a week, so I will hook them up.

I intend to use 6 amp fuses.

I may have to wait 2 1/2 months for my boards, heat sinks, and adhesive to arrive.


I will at least test them out.
They really are quite useful.
I can charge batteries with them, including my car battery.

I should have bought something like that decades ago.


The boards did say that they are up to 96% efficient, and I would think that if my input voltage is about 2 volts higher than my output voltage (like you mentioned), that's when I might achieve 96% efficiency.

That would reduce the waste and heat and maybe avoid the need for a fan ?

I dunno ??

I'm thinking maybe another month?


I saw a lot of yellow pistils, and a lot of clear trichomes...
