AussieBlue's Perpetual Grow Journal: Next Generation

Yeah lights are hard to judge. And i just wonder if ill ever be happy with anything but my HPS lights anyway.
Youd hope the R900 drawing over 400w would be better than a 400w HPS. They do get a good wrap in independant reviews but ill hold off till the new year and read up on things.
What light(s) you running in flower now Grizz?

Figured out leaving the cupboard doors opened a bit is actually counter productive. Seems it just exhausts the air from the room instead of the hot air in the cupboard. Temps are close to 4c lower with the doors shut. Even more reason to get off my arse and put some inlet ducts in the floor now.
 
Crawled under the house to measure where i can drill some inlets and found a bit of 50mm pipe. Bonus. Offcut from when they built the house. Will put an inlet under each light and see how it works. Air is much cooler under the house. Except where the exhaust is. Its blowing some heat out big time. Ill duct it far away from the inlets. The ballasts are cool to touch down there. Could have fried eggs on them when they were in the cupboard. If anything will stop them blowing up.

Hole saw is a tad to big for a snug fit. Planning on fitting some of these filter fittings on top anyway so ill leave about 12" drop on the pipe below and will just sit nice being bottom heavy. And stop creepy crawlys... Anyway time to drill some holes and totally fuck my cupboard up for resale value. Most buyers probably wont see it as an asset like i would.

I've got a manhole that goes under house.. I can pull corner of carpet back and lift lid up.. I'm not sure what it's there for, except that anybody that has lived in this house previously knows they can break in by going under the house :rofl:
 
Lol. Maybe there are bodies down there? I spent 6 months with a mate digging out a grow room under his house a bucket at a time like a prison escape tunnel only to realize it was a fucking stupid idea... shit you do hey... was a manhole in his cupboard we cur out of the floor boards. Must have been desperate or mentally ill back then...
 
Rough mockup. Heaps of cool air rushing in. May have to block off in winter. But good for summer. These two holes are going to be a game changer for tenps. Could feel it as soon as i drilled though. This week will tell if im correct.

Yeah it may be a good little thing. Ill read back and find out what it is. There is 2 baby clones of it in the black candy tub now. Didnt want to toss them out... lol.
 
Its all a bit of a disater zone atm but better than empty tubs bro. The SK smells so good. Taking a while to recover but looking forward to trying it out. Dont know if its something id want to grow all the time as its one of those little buds everywhere strains i think. I prefer some big colas. Tho being burnt i cpuld be totally misreadjng it. Will come back to it down the track maybe.
 
I never write anything off till its been grown close to the best of its potential. Cant blame the strain for my bad growing and care. But also got a bit to explore yet. Plenty of time. Not planning on going anywhere yet...
 
Collars fit perfectly snug in the hole. Nice and neat and sealed. Pipe will fit firmly in the collar.

I wonder if there would be much advantage with some blowers hooked up to the pipes under the house. Get some jet stream shit happening.
