Well, just got done read through the thread and i'm so glad we finally got some members posting with the Mini coli's and DIY veticle Cage that Grat3ful did. Show's that we are always looking for better yields in smaller places. Can't wait to see the both of you and your harvest. Thanks 00420 and Grat3ful for sharing your info and grows with us. I'll be posting my two 120 mini coli's once i'm moved. Looking forward to those two babies for awhile now. Thanks again and take care

i would think so.... i been working on one for a few now....... i just need the parts... but then i got a coli......
i might pick it back up sumday.......thx bar



anyways....... this came up on a thread.

whats the watts per sq foot on a coli?????
for a 60 site mini mod there 5' 6" x 16" high
the inside is 49 x 49 x 16

heres what i came up with any know if im right?

49 x 16 x 3.14 = 2461.76
(c x h x pi= surf's area)....... ( in inchs )

so 2461.76 / 144 =17.09sqf ?????????????????????????
^inchs^ina^sq^foot

so my guess is
58.51 watts per sq foot in a 60 site mini mod with 1k
35.29 watts per sq foot in a 60 site mini mod with 6 hundy
23.52 watts per sq foot in a 60 site mini mod with 4doubl0

Well...that would make pi look like this: 3.14444444

Pi actually looks like 3.14159265 No offense...I just had to point that out. :smoke:

Nice vertical grows, people!

Well...I'm trying to figure out what the dimensions correspond to. If "c" equals "circumference", then you wouldn't need to factor pi. You would just take the circumference of the inside of the coli and multiply that by the height.

So did the friend's wife enjoy being a Duck? I'm considering moving to Eugene in a few years.
