First time tending garden in a friggin year

Right on I have lights! I should have these fired up in at least one of the rooms come Saturday evening and if all goes well loaded up with plants.


With 3- 50" bars spaced 16" OC I think I'll complete coverage of the entire area.. Should be a pretty awesome footprint :jj:

 

plug em in!!! Waiting to order mine for you test bunnies to confirm they are all good

 

Cant wait to see those suckers powered up....


Planning to upgrade one of my other rooms, un-decided whether to do the bars long way or cross ways - really want to see your coverage

 

Stay tuned. Working towards getting them hung & fired up tonight!

 

Providing you dont get stoned and buy the wrong parts at Home Depot

 

And for the record wasn't stoned, I just didn't bring my reading glasses with me & couldn't read the friggin label :roffl:

 

i would have went with being to stoned

 

Lights camera action.... Let there be light:coolbounce:





728 cfm 8" Vortex & phresh scrubber





First night in their new digs

 

Dxe, what's the flowering time for this cut of White


rino? I've read varying times from 8-10 weeks with some phenos going a bit longer.


Thanks buddy


Duc

 

I Run mine 10 weeks - actually inpretty much run everything ten weeks now

 

I thought co2 cuts flower time

 

My first casualty!! This morning around 5:30


Or so I heard a horrible screeching sound coming from down stairs followed by silence... One of the two Vortex S line fans crashed and burned. Somehow the turbine struck the interior of the fan & freed itself from the motor in short order. Thankfully it happened before I left for the day & was able to install another fan before anything really bad happened.


Amazon is taking care of me and a new fan is already on its way


Anyone else running the S line fans?

 

I gave the fan a thorough going over and while there's a little play in the shaft it's far from being what I'd call loose or sloppy & no where near enough to allow the blade to strike the interior of the housing. My first thought was that the fan ingested something but I've no idea what or how since the intake side connected to the scrubber with hard duct. The only odd thing I found was the little spinner cap for the fan has been launched back into the scrubber. Perhaps that's what I heard screeching before the blade broke free of the shaft. Something clearly failed its just a question of what & that's something I'll probably never know.


I'm chalking it up to a fluke accident. I've googled around a bit and I've yet to find another one that failed the way this one did so its def not a common problem.


Duc asssit:

 

Yes it does BUT the extra week adds additional bulk - especially to the lower stuff - either way - a win

 

I'm about flip the switch & the girls were beginning to get a little out of hand height wise so I broke out the shears and leveled the canopy a little. They were pushing 24" & would've overgown the lights & space for sure. They'll get a little trimming tonight before the flip and then a good heavy trimming in two weeks. With so many strains running together it's probably going to be a bumpy ride, bumpy by most enjoyable





Filling out the space shouldn't be a problem. I had a driver fail on the front light bar & one of the light panels is out so I've moved the plants around the "dark zone" which really isn't very dark. There was some shipping damage from Fex Ex & I've had a few minor issues with the light bars & hardware. Shit happens.. that said Rapid LED's customer service has been absolute top notch and I couldn't be more satisfied. grow on!


Lights are of in the photo
