50 watt hps dwc pc grow

[Mind Grenade]

This is my grow in process. Im growin lowryder #2. This one is rather odd tho. The first one i grew autoflowered fine no problems. This one was unstable and did not autoflower and i had to force flower by switching to 12/12. Ive read that this can happen due to faulty breeding.
I have a small carbon filter on the outside of the box. I also use ona block to cover up the rest of the smell and make it smell fresh.(outside the box)

I was inspired by aerohead to do a scrog. So far she is smelling skunky and looking good. There are about 13 or so branches above the screen budding.

Cool lookin grow man! I love micro HPS grows.


What are the temps in your cab?

 

[superpedro]

Never seen a 50W hps grow before. Clean looking cab!
I'll be watching

 

[#1cheesebuds]

wow this is looken very nice. ill be watching.

 

[Mind Grenade]

Thanks for checking it out guys. Well if ya havent seen a 50w then your seeing it now . The temps get about 62 F with the light off and like 75 F tops with light on. Ill double check that in a little bit. the light just flipped.

Im looking foward to seeing the yield on this girl. The last one i grew i did not scrog and just some minor lst. Got about 12 grams off it. This one is alrdy blowing my last plant away haha.

Edit: Yeah the temps are at 69 degrees F right now with the hps on.

Great work MG. I too am looking forward to see how a 50w does. Seems to be cutting it so far

 

[JackStraw21]

is your 50w hps a security light with the diffuser thing still attached? i've never seen that done before. does it help you out with temps or something.

awesome grow, this is truly "micro", and from what i have read up on seems to be relatively uncharted territory (your light of choice i mean)

50w HPS? Siqq. Good luck buddy

 

[hempknowsis]

Awesome! this is similar to something I wanna engineer soon.

Have any details on where you got the light and how you set it up?

I'm excited to see how this turns out so I'll def be watching!

Fuzz420..Thanks a lot man and thanks for taking a look. I sure am trying for it

Paranoid one..Thanks Paranoid, you wont be disappointed.

ScrubNinja..Thanks scrub, its wrking nicely and has some good penetration.

JackStraw21..Its something like that. and yes it does keep temps noticeably cooler. Although the plastic reflector said it would stay cool to the touch, it gets rather hot and burned some of my leaves . Well then let me say so far this 50w territory is great for micro grows.

IJustWannaLearn..Thank you IJWL i appreciate your support.

hempknowsis...Awesome man i wish you luck on yours. I got mine from elightbulbs.com. They got a search bar and you can find it easy. There isnt too much complicated wiring really, you just plug it in.
