Don't Panic, It's Organic! Jump In Everytime

They grow really quite compact and got some nice thick stems!

LEDs are arriving today, but I have to wait to tinker it together, no time at the weekend :/

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Bummer. That's always the issue... time.

 

[Teleon]

Couldnt resist to unpack everything Got some early Christmas presents today

Just putted the stripes lose on the holder/cooler - they will be attached by some 3M thermal pads. I will them arrange like in the first picture - attach everything with the 20x20mm Profiles, each 33cm long. So the hole lamp has a dimension of 50x33cm - that should light up my little tent very well

Also got the MeanWell HLG 320H-20A, so I will tinker this together next week!

Stripes look very good and the holder/cooler are bigger and heavier as I thought

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Awesome rig you are putting together my man! Those aluminum profiles look impressive and sturdy, you got your work cut out for you!

I got my lights today also! Already got them burning through the night. 70-80.000Lm it's dam bright.

 

[Teleon]

Very cool Have to check your journal

I'm a bit afraid of soldering them ... yeah, u wont believe that, but its true....also not sure what for wire I should use. Wago pinches for the connection to the MeanWell should be fine, or?

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Oh I see now... they didn't put molex connectors on the strips. That you should point out to them in the future! I thought it was some fiddle to solder on the 6040 cobs I remember. Do they preheat the boards when soldering in a factory? It's quite large piece of aluminum that dissipate the heat from a solder iron quick...

Wago is fine on the driver!

 

[Teleon]

With the 6040 I had no issue, because they are so cheap .... no seriously - I will solder them well, but it's a bit nerve racking

Yeah, sure they will pre heat them, otherwise the solder wont be fine. I dont think it's different...

Which wires are u using?

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Ok. I don't doubt you will do a perfect job on them with that!

I don't know I you have the same standard on classification on wires. Its called SKX 0,75mm2, others may call it ordinary lamp wire.

 

[Teleon]

Yeah - "SKX" is a typical Swedish term for H03VVH2-F 2x0,75 mm² in german typical german...

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Haha, great! Can't blame you for not being precise.

Hope to see the light soon!

 

[Teleon]

I couldnt wait and took that little bit time I had today to tinker it together - I'm satisfied with that

Drilled some holes in the 20x20mm Profile and attached the LED holder/cooler with 3x M5 screws each. Hole construction is about 3kg ^^

Btw, the Lady's started to smell, this morning it was a very nice smell in my bedroom Time to add the carbon filter

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Haha! I knew you couldn't keep your hands of it. That frame is going to withstand an earth quake! Very sturdy.

 

[Teleon]

Yeah they are, but also quite good looking

I will make an update tomorrow, the lady's do well so far - very very compact and healthy in my mind!

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Great! It looks awesome.


Looking forward to an update!

 

[Teleon]

Update Time

2 left and right now day 19 in veg, the small in the middle is at day 14. All the stems are very thick, at the first at most looks so awesome, nice compact at all, nothing stretched etc.

All together:

First:

Second:

Late:

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Looks great! I think you could raise the light some now. You don't want them to compact! Very nice color on them!

 

[Teleon]

Yeah? How much do u think?!

Will change the light itself when I put them in flowering, or what do u mean? I need a few days to get it running... 1 thermal pad is missing and the current sensor don't arrived yet. But I will assemble the rest until than.

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Hard to tell were you are at now but 40-50cm over canopy is perfect I think. You want them to stretch a little. But if it's fiddly to raise that light wait until you built the other.

 

[Teleon]

Did some soldering on the new Lamp, pictures will come tomorrow - still wait for the ampmeter.

Raised the light a bit - we will see Btw, I have to water them every 2 days now - they are thirsty ^^

 

[CraZysWeeD]

Don't keep them "wet wet". They need to breathe. How is the temp?
