Hi there,
I'll be showing 2 tree's here, I'm using Critical Haze and NLxAfg this time..
This will be similar to what I've done before but a few differences...
I'm aiming for efficiency as usual, so I'm using my Tree Machines, which were inspired by Heath Robinsons Modded Waterfarms, which perform well, Flip-Flop relays to control lighting, and fan speed controller to keep temps in check whilst slowing the fan and saving electricity..
To light the 2 Trees I'll use 3 x 600w ballasts, but 5 bulbs.. so 1 bulb stays on for 12 hrs, and 2 are on for 6 hrs each... if that makes sense...
Something like this:
O..............................O
.................................
.....X........O.......X.......
................................
O..............................O
O=Bulb on for first 6hrs
O=Bulb on for second 6hrs
O=Bulb on for 12 hrs
X=Tree
Here's my Flip-Flop relay that I made from an old 26 amp contactor; swapped the Relay inside and altered the wiring to suit.
and here's my 10" vortex inline fan, this sucks from the room and blows out through a Carbon Filter (I'll add pics of this later).
And here's the plants vegging ready to go in the Tree Machines in the next week or so... NLxAfg on the left and Critical Haze on the right..
notice the size difference, this is very intentional, and is part of 'knowing your plant', one stretches like mad; the other hardly stretches at all...
I'll add more pics as time goes by and more equipment is added..
I'll also explain in some detail how my Tree Machines work.. (with pics of course
)
any Q's more than welcome...
peace
