At one point I had two of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009P0R6VC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on the intake's and back then, they did not make too much of a difference. I'll try to stick a little desk fan I have aiming at the intake holes and see if it helps push more...

After moving the sensor about halfway up my temps are still high. The sensor on the wall reads 81F, floor sensor is 85F and it's currently night and 60F outside with my ac running at 66F. The exhaust fan is running at 100% and the door is closed. I really have no idea where the heat is coming...

I'm reading temps from both that thermometer and a raspberry pi(you can see it hanging in the middle pic. I'll try to move the sensors out of the light, I always assumed temps should be measured around canopy height. When the lights come in a few hours I'm going to move the thermometers and...

Thanks for the response! That's what I thought... seriously starting to feel like I took crazy pills haha. The fan I'm using I bought off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D7M6692/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , I *swear* when I bought the fan it claimed 205CFM where...

Hi all. I have a small closet that's 2ft by 3.5ft and 8ft tall. I have a 4in 205CFM extraction fan mounted to the top of the closet that sucks air out. I cut a hole in the wall and ran 4in ducting to a window in the room the closet is in. At the bottom of the closet door I have cut 2 4in holes...

Any update? I'm curious about elev8!

Drinking wine from the bottle and huffing pledge, sounds like a relaxing Saturday night! ;) The lights are about to flip back on and I'm anxious to see if they have improved overnight. I've followed the gew coco schedule to the t, but I have a feeling my ph meter got messed with or lost...

I do have a small fan exhaust fan in the ceiling but it's only using a 120mm fan. I also have a pretty powerful little fan on the floor that is aimed upwards at an angle to have airflow. This is inside a closet and pulls air from my room, my closet door when closed does not fit perfectly in the...

Hi all, as the title states I'm having issues with my plant. The plant looks limp/sad and I'm not 100% sure why. Any help would be appreciated! Some info: As of this post it's 22 Days since the sprout surfaced Barneys Farm G13 Haze(Fem) 250w(from the wall) LED COBS(Bridgelux Vero 29's in 3000k...

I'm so glad you guys are back! I'm new to growing and almost every issue I ran into had been discussed on RIU. Thankfully I was able to pull some of that data from archived snapshots! I hope the web admin gets better!

Hi all! I'm putting together(98% done!) a over sized spacebucket using a 32gal trashcan. I'm also using some very high power leds and I'm concerned about height issues now. Realistically how short can you train? I'm sure there is no right answer here and it's very much strain dependent, but...

Nice! I almost held out to get some of the CXM's but I had spent the last month+ picking and planning parts and the advantage the CXM's have over the gen 7 Vero's wasn't big enough for me to start my research over. Also at the time I could not find any online... That is a GREAT link, thanks...

Ah, they where/are out of the sst-x when I was ordering parts.

Nice setup man! Are those Mechtronix heatsinks? The ones I got are monsters, I didn't expect them to be so big/heavy haha. I plan on eventually upgrading my grow area and I didn't want to spend a bunch now only to have to re-buy more stuff later. I wanted to try to future proof the parts. So...

Good call, I kinda assumed those things where expensive. I think I know what one of my amazon gift cards is gonna buy haha. I'm doing another test/stress run to make sure it doesn't blow up or catch fire and after 2 1/2 hours things are pretty damn hot. The driver became super hot, 5 seconds...

Awesome good to know! Most of the stuff I've read say max temps should be no higher then 82-83 and I generally like to leave room for leeway.

Well hot damn!(pun kinda intended) you are version 2.0 of me with all the cool tools and information haha. I can touch the driver and it's definitely hot, not hot enough to burn but uncomfortable to leave you hand on it for more then 5-10 seconds. I still have a lot of fine tuning to do, I...

Thanks for all the help! I've only run it for short periods so far(1-3 hours) to make sure things are ok. Those heatsinks are beasts and seem to do a great job of cooling the cobs. The driver Meanwell HLG-240h-C which I'm running @ 1750mah does get pretty hot, I have never encountered or used...

IT'S ALIVE!! After triple checking everything and hovering above the outlet with the cord for 5 mins, I finally grew the balls and plugged it in!

I made it over to Radio Shack earlier and picked up some resistors. I'm hoping to start getting things put together tonight!
