This is a really refreshing pc micro, keep on doing what your doing and dont give up!
I think he's using COB 10w led's and a 50 watter aswell,
They're like small led chips and you can find them on ebay/amazon and wire them yourself.

Yesterday i have watered with 1,5L ph 6,5 with 1ml of biobloom. We must also consider that the photo are shooted with flash that enphasizes the green.
Woogile, yes, i'm using cob leds. 50w 630nm and 10w 460nm. In flower i have added some leds 5630 warm white 3000k for about 20w.
You misunderstood my comment. Green as in the amount of green leaf surface area. They are consuming/converting vast quantities of light, thereby consuming more water than nutes
Each morning my rez is down ~ 1gal of water AND ppms have risen from ~ 1500, to ~ 1900.
While they are consuming some nutes, they are consuming much more water

looks awesome! really like the creative way you have put the pc together. maybe a bit to much water? do you really let the soill dry out between waterings? or do you have more a schedueld watering? check this link out.https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=45517 it really helped me out, for i am new to this too.
oops wrong link try this one https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=268474
Also if in this moment i have 80w of leds in 40x20cm (a lot of watts !) i'm watering my 10 liters of soil only after at less 4-5 days with 1,5L of water. So i think they are not consuming so much water at all.
woogile - the led are powered by the drivers
elrego - i let the soil dry out. i'm watering only after 4-5 days and before i put my finger in the soil for about 2-3 cm to taste if is dried. So i think i never over watered...
Thanks for the link, very useful !
1.5 liters is a lot of water /cm^, but it's a good thing
My tent is 200cm x 400cm (100x yours) and I replenish ~ 1.0-1.5g / day, also a good thing... but, if you are recirculating to rez then the ppms go up dramatically.
My rez is 4g @ ~ 1500ppm, but in 24 hours it is down ~ 1-1g and up 3-400ppm, which is too much

i mean - did you built it yourself ?
Your tent is 8mq, my pc box is 0,08mq, 100x ! I didn't understand your calculation on ppms. Do you mean that if we replenish every day the ppms (nuts % in the water ?) will rise too much in the soil ? And for me that i watered every 4-5 days ? It's alway good alternate nuts and pure water ?
Yes woogille, myself.
Update !
You probably should water twice as often, but with half each time
Compare your droopy leafs to mine, which get fed every 18 minutes for 32 seconds

From my experience with both hpa and various R & D, sipping is much better than gulping, BUT, my medium is super fast draining
An ordinary CPU heatsink can dissipate ~100W of heat so this is a very good choice.
However, you can reduce the temperature on the PC case further more by placing the heatsink outside the case. For that you just have to cut a square/round hole on the 'roof' of the case and bond the heatsink to the case with some screws or even glue.
This way , more height space will be available for the plants. The drivers and all other electronics can be placed outside the box also (because they generate and dissipate heat). This will reduce also the need for forced ventilation and reduce the noise made by the extraction fans.
exactly brother! love the stuff your putting out!
no words, he took them all!
I'll try to water with half dosage..
Do you talk about the hempfield's stuff or of the mine
?
