ya the new air cooled ones look sick, they have LED's coming too but im just not sold on LED price for performance yet.

the controller for them is pretty cool i think they have some relay control thingamajiggys coming soon too for plug and play with their RLC-1 controller

i will continue to build my own LED for now. the performance is great but for the price per coverage of sq ft on the premade ones you can build at least 2 DIY with better coverage

this light is fucking sweet! compact, lightweight and the efficiency factor is ridiculous compared to standard HPS.

can't wait for their air cooled version to drop!

CO2 is up and running. the veg tent is looking great. all around happiness over here. adjusted the nutrients for the CO2 and will slowly ramp up the strength over the next few days till i hit the desired range.

the next round will have the nutrient showdown as well as the DEva light test. can't wait to see the results of that!

tomorrow i will order my monster humidifier for the flowering side and then the CO2 generator for the other building/veg plants

Shit I could do with some mad props, but I got nothing...

Sorry don't have time to read back through the posts, but what is the nutrient showdown? I'm always keen on that sort of thing. I'm in two minds about whether to import Jack's. Figure if it is better than the rest it can't be by that much anyway

And the thread about mainlining you mentioned earlier in this thread - do you have a link to that? I think it'll help me fill in my tiny ass tent better than i currently do

mainlining tutorial- http://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckewhen i set up my next PPK system in a few days i will be mainlining and scrogging everything to keep things nice and uniform. the nutrient test will be between jacks and megacrop. megacrop is a 1 part powder with a bunch of coll additives like kelp, silica, aminos etc. its about the same price as jacks. i will be setting up 4 singular(or maybe more) PPK sites with the same strain that way i can test jacks, megacrop, and the two with mammoth p or some sort of booster.

This will be sick to watch, i know there has been debate for a while over adding silica to jacks and the possible added benefits. definitely tuned in for this one.

cages are hung. second building is being prepped and cleaned. barricading doors and windows, designing ductwork, etc. waiting on some parts to come in from home depot and then its build time!

big humidifier is shipped and will be here in two days. VPD is way too high and causing me issues right now. veg co2 generator and controller are on the way. rolling along nicely now. minus the flu that i caught... my head feels like its in a vice and im burning up. but other than that all is well :)

the majority of the build will take place tomorrow and the next day. panda the walls, build the conduit frame for the lights, install the c02 for veg. gonna set up a 4x8 table for veg then when they outgrow that they will go out to their ppk site with their own 1k light for a week or two more and then flip

I put a house of hydro 3 disc fogger in a 5 gal bucket on a timer. That's temporary I'll soon put it on a humidistat when my sonoff unit gets here. House of hydro units are the cheapest shipped I can find. They use the same Chinese fogger's that can be found online but they come with a better warranty and the cheapest price.


I have an aphid problem now. I've been so busy at work I failed to dip all of my clones.... they will be nuked tonight.
