Found my sunglasses thank God!:mrgreen:, time for another run my friends. Cxb3590 4000k, Osram 660/730nm, using two cords for the timers on this proto fixture but that will be corrected on the final units. On to the pics:

We know the deal, hand built in CA. The guys did a good job tbh, thick gauges, grounded and fused(cords are too short imo, easy fix). Cleaned and sanitized the orca film, applied some mild food crop approved pesticide on the perimeters(bifenthrin), turned on full blast and yowza!lol.............no secondary lenses needed or wanted.

002.JPG 322watts, knob on full cob/660nm power(730nm is separate), that's how I'm running it the first round because I can and want to see what this thing can do. Next/summer run will be dimmed down, as this crappy closet can't take wattage. Ran it for awhile and it's quiet.

Strain: Jordan of the islands God x NL fem (3), meh, will see

Container: 30 gal root trapper II

003.JPG

Intake,exhaust,circulation: passive for stealth, old dayton 265cfm blower, Lasko 12inch wall mount

Odor control: small ozone generator attached to the exhaust

Ferts/additives: Down to Earth vegan mix and filtered tap water, last run with it=== getting bored

Light schedule: 14/10 from seed, 730nm running for 15min after lights out...........24/0 till they all germ to prevent stretch out of the gate. This could easily change if I see any issues.

Meters: CO2 ppm/rh/temp and parrot wireless soil moisture sensor(flowerpower), busy season for me and can't baby sit ....

Medium: ROLS

That's it and lets hope for an easy run.............last year 4000k/660nm was my theoretical pick, little late to the party!lol.........time to put up or shut up.

009.JPG 008.JPG seeds where planted after a 24hr soak, once they head north we start this crap....

As always I have no idea what I'm doing so help/comments/criticisms are always welcome EXCEPT if you have "cheetah breath", no one wants to smell that shit, seriously.


be safe and happy growing RIU

Very interesting! I’m in and subbed. I have never tried a 14/10 light schedule…want to see that. And of your 322 “wall watts”, what does that work out to PAR wise at 660nm and 4k in watts? I'm thinking if I want to bump my 3500Ks with some added 660nm, how much percentage wise to add. Thanks.

Very interesting. Do you by any chance have room in your grow space to run this light in a side-by-side with another light that you have run before? Or have you run these seeds before and taken notes on the grow?

Psuagro what benefits are you seeing with 660nm vs say 630nm reds.Im running a similar spectrum,except no 730nm,not needed in my case.Just curious what benefits you are seeing.

Right now im limiting my 660 until after stretch,as I think its promoting stem elongation.Curious to see how you get along with this.

Oh sweet Jeebus, who gave PSU some COBs? Now I got hear your "expert" opinion on COBs 24/7 around here? Ohhh sweet Lord, pass the popcorn and IR and tell Dawg to stop humping the couch. And 14/10 on a strain you never grew? Good luck with that. And you call that 660? Call me when you hit pink.

Ain't I the positive one? Good luck P. Monster Buds to You and Yours! Oh and Happy Jesus's Re-Birthday :p

Yea I Got Some Popcorn Before Brother Puffenuff Hawg It All :weed:
Grab a bean bag grower

You know I'm front and center for the show. Move over Dawg. Make some room before Fran gets here
Grab a couch grower.................Fran is really going to love your next run:wink:

Don't have the group/bin info on the cobs/chips yet..............also, you don't want me doing the math, especially with guod hanging around fact checking my ass....:mrgreen:

Can't give you any exact #/%, it's up to you how to play around with it, indagro & knna recommended around 15%+4000k-5000k back in the day? I could be wrong

LOL.....................handsome

Only have my closet, everything I show should be taken with a grain of salt...............I'm an outdoor guy waiting to go back, If ever in PA.

Timbers prototype? Got a link, website, or anything? That thing is a beast
Their working on the website, couple of tweaks still need to be implemented in the final units..............4000k/660nm might not be what I think it is, it's a personal spec hunt

Grab some......................nevermind:hump:

Looks good man! I'll be along for the ride!
Grab a chair grower

Great company! Great lights!

I'm hoping to get one of those babies, too! I want the 3500K color though. I think you will be very happy with the light.
I'm never happy, especially with my fiance sucking my funds dry......lol............3500k could be better, give it a whirl on here

Benefits? don't know, will tell you after 2 runs

Happy jebus re-birth to you too froggy:hug:...........80 degree primary optics on those 660/730nm oslons, should be enough or not...
