Yo fellas, whats good.
Well, all that needs done now, is the Top. Waiting on the grills for the fans, should be here today. So, still going to be a few days, I need a nice day to paint the top.
Anyways, Its usable. Have to make the brackets for the Fans, because they are going to be attached to the aluminum sheet. So, the top, will just have the grills for the fans on it, thats it. Easy pop top.
It stays pretty cool at 11 volts, which i think is where Im going to keep it all the time.
So, at 11 volts, 164watts,
Par at 12" is 880, lux at 42,000
Par at 18" is 630, lux at 32,000
Par at 24" is 520,
Par at 42" is 310,
Those are center meesures, and ofcourse, it falls off around 30% to the edge.
Ill tell ya what tho, glad its almost done. All the hand sanding was a nightmare, and still didnt come out GradeA-, lol.. I got to the point, I was like, OK, good enough, I could spend another week on it, lol.. A few minor paint touchups i can do where paint came off from the tape.
When I ran out of the last batch of sandpaper i bought, that was the end for the sanding.
Concidering I had really no tools, but a old hacksaw, a Drill, a file, and a cheap orbital hand sander, It could of took less time. Something that would of took 20 seconds in a shop, I took 20 minutes by hand, HUH.. WTF was I thinking.
Elbow feels like a pitched an entire World series,lol..
Need to get rachet hangers or whatever their called. SO that is the last thing i have to buy. In the end, the Light gear was conciderabley cheap, but the other shit like sandpaper, all purpose filler, paint, wire, shrinktube, masking tape, and all that shit, was about the same as the light it seemed..
Here it is. Plants are now 21 days from seed. As you can see, a smaller one got light burn i suspect, ( FROM OTHER LIGHT, MARS300 WIth Lenses). took a few days for it to show,.. The plant in the back, on the right, Im callin it now, I think is a male. Keep in mind, I think i can tell sex before flowering and after 4th node created. Thiis light has just been running a couple hours, so new to the plants
OK, fellas, fire away, and thanks for input and help thru the way. BigGreenThumb, THANKS BRO,
