Dank's Adventures In Dankland

The R spec is 3500k. Was told that's all it comes in. Seems strange to me, but I didn't look into it

For reference, what color temp is each fixture? The new reds look nice though. I bet the new light side of the tent does slightly better than the far, lol.

Hopefully it will do better. Lol. I was already happy with the 24k so any improvement will be better. The super soil buckets are under the old light and in middle so that one will get a mixed spectrum. Kinda messed up my experiment with the soils, adding another variable. It'll be interested in the end. I'm hoping for bigger buds

wow nice set up you got some nice headspace in there the lights look good all nice and tidy now its time to mess it up lol good luck my friend!

If it's not an enclosed unit, you could locate the driver outside your grow, like done with HPS.

I wasn't sure you could do that with those but thanks that would be a good thing!

so dankman can you remove the driver power supply and put it outside the tent?

You could move it out of the tent. You'd just have to add some wire to lengthen out the cord connection. Would be really easy. But both of my driver's stay pretty cool. They just get warm, not hot. The tent is 5 ° hotter than the ambient temperature in the room

Sorry I didn't answer your question. The old light is 4k and the new one is 3500 spectrum

that sounds alright to me im going to get serious about this all it takes is money if I get those on the zon I can put it on my store card and pay it out for 6 mo. no charge makes it a lot easier and I could have them now ill ask the wife lol wish me luck!

I didn't know either till Tead did it. Mine are still mounted to my fixture rigs, but when I do the new room, I'll hand all the drivers outside the room to a control board.

Edit - GL with the missus!

Good luck sticky!

So the way I've been taking clones lately is soaking rapid rooters in a mix of r.o. water and clonex solution. Then I take a cut, dip it in clonex gel, shove it in the plug and put it in a solo with a clear solo on top to act as a dome. I keep the plug damp. Usually get roots within 2 weeks. If no roots, I plant it in soil and so far it's been nearly 100% success. Really easy lazy way to get clones here's a 10 day old cut. No roots yet but it's still green and healthy

My whole veg tent for seedlings and veg until they go to the bloom tent. Using one gen #1 Mars 300 led pulling 132 watts from the wall. It's a 3x3 here is today's jungle

If you get a heat mat, put a bath towel on it, then something hard enough for that cup to stand on, you'll get roots quicker.

I actually tried a heat mat but mine gets too hot. I do have a 2" foam board under the tray inside the tent to keep it off the cold cement. I need to put my mat on a temp controller

that's cool ive seen quite a few different methods here it looks like you have it simplified to your liking my method is a little different I like to soak the cuts for a few hrs. in a solution of clonex and r/o then dip into the clonex then into a solo cup with 50/50 soil coco that ive prewatered with that solution that's been my comfort zone I do pretty good with this method but once in a while I get one that really doesn't want to work so ill take several cuts from that one to get one good one good luck!

Is your soil/coco just using a seedling soil? That sounds better than buying 50 plugs

im just mixing the coco with the roots 707 soil that I use in my grows is almost the same thing your using except theres a few nutes in there!
