Dank Demons Perpetual 3600 watt LED 18 plant SCROG

Just ordered 20 Led bulbs of the net. Dope time I'm sure they do test them but there limited to how long they can leave them on. The main thing with leds is disapating their heat so when you replace them its essential to use a thermal adhesive/paste this sticks the led to the heatsink and transfers the heat. Heat is probably the biggest destroyer of leds. I got 20 LED's for £3.99 and the thermal paste was £1.50. These along with a soldering iron, solder and a screwdriver should keep em going for a while.
 
I use the plant magic coco range, I know they have changed their formula recently but I've not really noticed a change. My girls are green, yeild is always around the same! Ive been thinking about trying growers ark next and going for more Foliar feeding! I've seen some decent results using Foliar feeding

I used Thermal Paste When Attaching The CPU to the Motherboard when making up the Desktop 4yrs ago (?)
How do the Bulbs Attach Buffinski?

Buff, what's used to remove the shot LED? Do you gouge it out with screwdriver or specific tool?! Can't say I've ever really inspected the panels that closely.

Welcome aboard my friend, the more the merrier.

Ok slight update without any pics as to early but increase temps to 25c and PPM is at 1200ish trying to dial in as increases to 2500 if I don't go up there.

Also PM nutes are SHITE IMHO only they are weaker than dish water you need shed loads to make an impact and you need so many more additives to boost everything that you might as well go without. So sticking to GHE :)
I also use GHE, will never use anything else.

My c02 ran out after 5 days of the Unis timer being on setting 4 for 18/6 lights on and a refill is £35, so £35 per week will be costly so I think I will put the Unis on a timer for a few hours every other with lights on. If anyone can offer any advice using a Unis controller to cut down on the amount then I open to ideas on how you use yours or if its just a costly extra?

Thanks in advance.

Mate I went a bit Mental with The 2 Bottles I had from Holland Hydroponics and so they were gone in about 3 days! I manually Squirted it in the Room but did so abit to Often,hear now I should have given a little squirt every half hour(?)
The bottles are cheap to Refill last I remember but they are half the size of yours
£35 every 5 days is very Costly..
Run it manually mid to late vegge IMO

Does the Unis spit out the CO2 at 30 min stints?

Ok when I saw the guy tonight I have sorted something better out ;) so the future's C02 lol
The bursts are only for seconds on the controller Buff mate, but quite often. I might try turning it to a lower setting for a smaller room, or keep it the same but on timers, but I am not that fussed now as more affordable :)

Has anyone tried those exhale co2 cultivation bags?
There is a thread on here somewhere with people having great success with them and have seen them for sale over here.
Seem a much cheaper option than £35 a week!
They are meant to generate co2 for 6 months and each 1 generates enough for 6 plants

Lol Hey bro, its far from NFT apart from I have converted the tray :) Its a combination of Aeroponics and Under Current. Check out the posts and you will see. :tiphat::ying:

Here is a picture of a graph taken from my data logger, you will see the difference from when I turn off the a/c at night then back on in the morning to save costs and also when the a/c runs on heat mode as well as cool the outside unit compressor sounds quite loud in the dead of night in the bedroom its against the wall of. At the moment lights are on from 5am to 11pm but the a/c is on from normally about 7am to 10.30pm.

Hi DD is the increase in temps seen on the graph between about 5 and 8am the time when lights come on but no AC?

What happens between 10 and 11pm that causes the temps to spike then drop back down?

This tech is great for really precisely dialling in your room.

Peace

Hey Piff mate :)

I had a lie in this morning lol so I switched the a/c on at about 8am so that difference between 5am and 8am is no a/c and the same between 10pm and 11pm. I am not really bothered as they are in veg and the temps that they max at are no where near what they used to be and its only for a short period. When I flip to 12/12 then the a/c and the lights will be on from 10am to 10pm.

I love the data logger it helps loads.

What is this data logger, Dank? Does it run with your pc? Can it log everything ie humidity, ec, ph ect?
