Hi maree, i did everything but the controller, but it was almost done :D I think I'll finish that these weeks and give it a try :)
Both flowering compartments can only work with their respective light source. The LED Part is too small for PL-L which would never get that much light that deep into the canopy. On the other hand: The vertical bulbs enable me to grow relatively large plants but i still have light on the whole plant :)

Out of interest, what wattage did you stick in the LED compartment, over what area? Any results?
Its 30W with a Cree CXA3070 each. The area is 28x40cm :) Results are really nice so far, although I can't measure them since its a perpetual SOG...

Thank you all :)

Thanks Chunkypigs & maree :)
Yes, this one grew fully under the CXA3070@30W/700mA. I think some plants like the LED light better than others. This one obviously loved it but eg. a Guatemala always had some light bleaching symptomes...

Thabks garuda - that's really useful. I've also found that different strains do better under the conditions I provide than others - and not always the ones I imagine are going to best.

Hi folks,
I recently built a new cab running a single 55w pl-l bulb and couldn't resist posting it here :)

On top of this cab ist a vertical 36w veg chamber, pics will soon follow :)
The cab is 30x40x70cm (depthxwidthxheigth) and vented with a "real" venting solution.
Current plants in the cab: 2x Fart of the gods (Original Hazex(DoubleFunxDoubleDutch)), Pakistan Valley, Afgan Kush, Santa Maria F8, Oldtimers Haze, C99.
Its a perpetual SOG since I love it this way :).

Greetings,
Garuda.

NICE
