Lost In The Fog

Ikaros - never ending project
full

full


I'm pretty satisfied with Ikaros box but the lights don't sit very straight in the box not that the plants will care about that

I put in this cheap insurance inside Ikaros, its an thermo electric switch, simply cuts power if temperature hits set value. I also clamped an vulcanizing tape between box and the acrylic sheeting to ensure airtight fit.

There is no turning back now and I will start test running right away, plants sitting in bathtub during testing a few hours before day cycle starts.



Followup coming soon, stay tuned...​

I managed to get the light in position but I'm still cooling the rig with used tent air. I may have been a little over pretentious with this fit, there is no room sideways round the light. Making this ducting fit a bitch but it is doable so with a little new energy investment with this and it will be 110%. So Ikaros is vented through old ducting at the moment. I have run it a few hours now and I'm already super happy with it holding better temps. I moved my old tent temp to Ikaros 31C, and tent now holding sweet 25C! Perfect!

Snapped a few pics of the new blooming girls while I had them outside.

:adore: Looks great Crazy
 
This is working awesome! Look at Kali's, almost kissing Ikaros. They seem to love it, can't wait for a few days to pass and seeing if they adapt to this new climate they got to grow in. Starting to feel like GretA wants to wake up from her beauty sleep and start proving herself.

I still got about 5" / 10cm left to adjust the light up if needed. Just need to get this old ducting back and connecting it to Ikaros in a less crazy fashion than it's in right now.... :laughtwo:

Congratulations on the flight of Ikaros! If anything is going to fail it will be the vulcanizing tape, as is predicted in the myth. :)
 
LOL Kis!
 
Tried to find it . But Floras will do. Giggity.

Hey 420! Did something stupid! I locked the cat in the grow room! I was pretty lucky, she only mauled Snuffler and her sisters a little bit. I was worried that she did a s*** in one of the pots but I've checked and everything is cool. Oh my god! The tent was wide open and she was in there for a good few hours with unrestricted access to all my vegging babies! Also, they'll have their first watering since the transplant tomorrow. Here they are lol....

Thx Shed, I'm more than happy with results so far. But its been a real hassle to get Ikaros in there and running. Don't know if that tape will do any good at all, the acrylic sheeting get warm not super hot but it expands during this so its not super air tight round the edges but it will work. The climate seems more stress less now for the plants and that was the point. But I will see how far I can mod this build in the future.

The turkey tasted nice?

I really think CraZy needs a cat. Just for shenanigans during his builds :) .

Had cats when I was living at the family place. They are wonderful creatures, the last one I had there was called "Ganja Pelle" he always came about when I was to lit the bong.

:roorrip:

One of the growers here accidently zipped their cat in their tent overnight. Can't remember who it was. But was some funny sht.

I can see that actually happening, some of them are incredible finding places to hide.

Kismet said:
Maybe one of those huge Norwegian cats CraZy :laugh:.

Had one of those as well, she was so nice.

Now my allergy has gotten worse but I can have Ginza around for a few days if I take some meds for it. She is a little harder in her psychic than a cat and doesn't purr but she loves to lie in my bed with me when taking naps so that is fine with me. :kiss:
