why does that happen with led lights does it just strip the calcium out the plants i guess its from the intensityToo many clones!
Thanks Penny! Doing okay at this point with only some creatures to look out for. Of course, we've seen lots of plants freak out when going from blurple to white LEDs mid-grow. I have to keep an eye out for calcium deficiencies when I turn on the new light.
looking good shed got you a box of lucky charms there my friendThank you Amy! I'm sure the conversation with Graytail and PGR violated a few of those but when I build it the pics will go through Photoshop before they get uploaded.

Speaking of Amy...the Tuesday update includes the BT1 rootball. Okay maybe not that exciting...
Here it was on transplant day, October 10th:
And here is where the roots grew to over the following 52 days, all of it in flower:
They got to within about 2" of the side of the pot. I'd say that almost all of the root growth was lateral with very few roots reaching down toward the bottom of the pot.
So was up-potting the auto early in flower beneficial? Looks like it base solely on root growth!
In other news dating back to October...here is a Sour G cutting taken Oct 21st with a root on it, along with its companion that seems to have a root bump on the bottom of the stem. I have way more clones than I can possibly grow. Maybe I'll keep them under a CFL until spring and then plant them in a public park somewhere.
Speaking of way more clones than I can grow, here are the smaller plants that live outside during the day. I still have the AK pot o'clones, an AK and a Sour G from the cloninator, and a Sour G x2 all on the heat mat.

I hope you are all well and it's bright and sunny where you are, inside and out
The frame is coming to me pre-cut and pre-drilled by an incredibly generous member here so drilling won't be an issue, but I do think having the entire thing stable would make it easier to get the tape on cleanly and the strips as well.I'd assemble the frame first, that's how I did it.
Want to keep all the delicate stuff as far away from drill bits as possible. No matter how careful you are they can slip. Of course that's assuming your drilling your frame.
The watt metre I used in my build was slightly cheaper than 16 dollars, but with the hassle of building containment for it, and wiring it up. 16 bucks plug and play is a steal
Although the one I used could be mounted direct on the frame of your light, depending how it's built. If you want a link to mine drop me a PM.
I have a clamp meter and no clue how to use it! I know you put it around one side of the wiring and it tells you something depending on where the dial is setAssemble the rig first and then put the lights on it. Less chance of something happening to the strips.
You told me you had a dc clamp meter, use it. Can't get any better than that.
.Gets even colder at night. All you need is a good down comforter!
That's a damn good question that I don't know the answer to! It just seems to be true.

I'll check it when I get home and see if there is a DC mode Amp metering. How many amps am I aiming for if I want 250 watts?That's ok I will guide you through it. It's easy as child's play. You can upload a pic of the clamp meter if you don't keep up with the instructions.
1. Turn on the meter in DC mode and Amp measuring.
2. Clamp around the plus cable usually red coming from a MeanWell driver.
3. Make sure the drivers potentiometer is set to minimum current, with the potentiometer turned counter clockwise in the bottom.
4. Turn the driver on with the lights connected
5. Start to slowly turn the potentiometer up and keep watching the clamp meter as the amp start to rise and the lights get brighter.
6. Stop turning the potentiometer when desired amp is reached.
Done.

I know a guy that can help you on this the thing is getting him to create a 420 account lol i can ask him tho if you like . he is a whiz on electric and situations like this he can wire a banana and orange together and they would create a watermelon he is good he wires all of our resto cars and anything we need done in the shop he would tell you exactly what to do and you be done
Damned if I know.
Thanks MGR but if Gray and Crazy can't explain it to me I think I'm beyond learning this at my age!
Just trying to help buddy, yeah im sure these guy will get you taking care of electric is a pain in ass to follow bc of the formulas and everything else so i get what you saying good luck shed cant wait to see it in action..
