  Looking mighty fine Bob. I'd like to see those plants in some normal light to compare against some of my past plant photos.   I found I got really dark compact leaves with the purple light.  Be a good test to throw in a 10w 4000k LED bulb (edison or E27) with the purple and compare say after...

No chance theyll all fit Bob. Its a 1.2m x 1.2m tent so thats why I am aiming for one of each, 30 plants max. Ill grow until I run out of space, sell, gift or cull those I have more than two of, grow until I run out of space again and make a final choice on the one plant I keep for the season...

Into week two and many new babies so very happy - 73% at day 14   Items in green are out of the Germinator 6000. Items in black still have some hope.   Culled some seeds that had possible mould, etc. and lost a couple with my fat fingers :lol:   Still waiting for - Yaki Blue / King Naga / 7 Pot...

  You see 4 pods - I see 16 new plants for next year :party:  

Final harvest so all done 392g - 52 pods   2851g Total :party:  KAOS OUT :party:  

Last harvest of the year

Sounds like Im in for some stiff competition this year so Ill be soaking in GA3 at 5000ppm and straight in Potassium Nitrate granules. Forget all that soil growing media malarkey.

  Fair enough and I guess those not using heat mats and opting for the microwave method can have a one day head start.   To make it fully transparent a video upload as a starting entry is required though.  

You know what they say Keep Ambitions Realistically Overly Optemistic

No trash talk here Bob Karoo is just scared of competing against King Awsome Overlord Supreme

Haha. Looking forward toward the head start. My week is already planned 21st plant seed 22nd top the plant 23rd transplant to 38ltr pot 24th pick flowers to promote veg growth 25th first harvest 26th second harvest 27th get plant ready for over wintering I reckon 4kg of pods will do until...

One week to go until G-Day   Good luck to all and don't forget to post your pics :dance:

Cobbled this together using 5630 rigid strips and aluminium end pieces from partitioning. Still need to properly mount a fan and the psu. In the photo it’s running at 60W and producing 4800lux at 50cm. Build is good up to 120w and 7700lux so comparable to light intensity of the bought unit...

Hi Poiethis. Just playing around at this stage so cant comment on suitability for chillies. I have no doubt that they will work nicely though and have ordered some gear for a 2540 build. Ideally I need 120W (high lm/W) or more (lower lm/W) in the tent to look after the plants so hopefully I can...

Leader of the pack - Cap Mushroom Red (TBG)  

Good luck Jaques. I'll be following this one.

  Forgot to answer this ↑   Peeps will chime in here i guess and yes it's true to say blueish is best for growth, but I've watched enough youtube light comparisons (blue vs red) and played with many different units to come to my own conclusion.   The secret is neither red nor blue, but green ...

The 2540's are almost double the rating, but that being said the die (both the same size) will have to cope with equally as much heat dissipation, so better cooling required.   I still think the 2520's are best bang for buck and my setup above only drives them to 63% of their rating. Use a pair...

Some more pics of LED test light. This was assembled on an old aluminium plate probably 1.6mm thick and 310mm x 210mm in size Power supply is 1500mA 20-39V. The chips are connected in parallel. What is not shown is the cooling. Didnt get that far with a permanent solution yet so all I...

  I've decided this year to let fate run it's course and I'll be keeping two plants of each variety until end of September (around 60 plants total). The rest will be sold or give to others as gifts as I need space indoors (around 110 plants total). Of the two left over I'll keep the healthiest...
