  Thanks :)   The outdoor ones have some new growth on them too...  I'll take some pics from the outside plants today, there's a few flowers starting on most of the plants so I think you're right :)

Busy weekend for me.   Decided that the LED lights were a little out of my price range, specially because I don't even know if I will keep the DWC going or plant them. So I just went with the CFL lighting.   I picked up 6x 24w lights supposedly 1250lm, 4x 3000k warm and 2x 6000k cool, So cost me...

Yeah my bonnet has some giant leaves too

Bored at work = posting pictures of chillies   So the donations have all greened up and are loving the new digs.   And the DWC plants just keep growing. I'm not sure if I should plant these outside or leave them in here and get some good lights? opinions?   Also have topped the OG DWC plant...

A half decent DIY light kit should only set you back $150 - $250 if you do it right. That's what I'm looking to do.    The only thing is we are a little behind the times here in Australia though so it's a little hard to find anything local.

I'm also interested in this as I'm looking to try a full grown DWC setup, and also if the mix of white light(3000K/6000K) is better or if a blue/red light(450-480nm/620-680nm) mix is better.   Please be someone who's an expert chime in  :tear:

In Australia now it's Summer. you would never know it at the moment as we got 120ml of rain over 24 hours this weekend.

Met up with Jason on the weekend and he was kind enough to pass on some of his spare plants, can't thank him enough :)   Here's their new home Jase :)     Here are some of mine that I've planted earlier   Even came with one MoA attached.  

Okay, turns out I have been looking at some pretty overpowered LED's when doing my initial search, I was able to wrap my head around it a bit better after posting on here.      Product Overview Digi-Key Part Number CXA1507-0000-000N00G265F-ND Quantity Available...

Hold on.   I think I figured out where im going wrong...    I was thinking I need 19A @ 31.3V but ramping up to 190V i will only need 1A?   I hope thats right...

Hey,   So trying to wrap my head around LED's and the drivers required.   Do they work the same as everything else? for example; If the LED has the forward voltage of 31.3V And the max current of 1.05A and I wanted to have 6 of them. Does that mean that each COB is 32.8W? so I would need a 190V...

Update time  :party:   Plants are coming along great now in their new home.. also the ones outside in the garden have shot up. (still haven't taken any photos of them  :mope: )   I'm looking at upgrading the lights soon, I think the plants will love it if I do.   But here's the DWC update.

Hey guys,   So it is about time I upgraded my lighting setup on the DWC system in my shed.   I've done the read around and came to the conclusion that LED is the way to go, but it's just out of my price range at the moment. I was thinking some CFL lights as they're quite reasonably priced, and I...

Yeah, I'll need to take some pictures of the ones outside, they are coming along nicely and should produce some pods soon.   This would be my first year from seed, the other years I just bought the plants and grew them in pots. I have to say the learning curve has been insane this year.

Yeah Probably not the outside ones, but the hydros, definitely. they are growing pretty quick and they stay pretty warm in the shed so hopefully I get somewhere.   Just sucks that I've had such a slow start using the wrong soil :/

Can't terminate each end where the wire is chewed into a socket and just replace the chewed bit? More sockets never hurt anyone :P

Update time :D   Getting some decent growth on my first guy.

Mate, Looks amazing... Definitely going to sort out a time to make it down there..

Good bit of growth out of the first Bonnet I Hydro'd, I thought I'd make a timeline.

No worries mate, I can come another weekend. I'm sure we will get this organised haha
