Some great top shots guys!!!
@SeaF0ur That's a wonderful color!! pics are lookin good! I need to work on gettin good pics xD.
@Tnelz thx again for the warm welcome! (and nice pics too)
@Toaster79 I'm VERY sorry to hear about your loss. Best wishes to you, yours and your friends' families.
Where you been, how's it going? Dig the setup but you'll have to refresh my memory a bit.
Things have been going well ty. Finally done running through a ton of different nute profiles over the last couple years to compare effects and such. Now I'm on to testing mediums. Also, been running out different strains over the same time to find a replacement or buddy for my Affie bullrider; which has proved quite tough. I've ran; SSDH, Cannatonic, Cheese, Pennywise, 818 Headband, GTH, G13 and Fuel. The Fuel is the first probable keeper.
I ran 91 krypt but got all males, so I pollen chucked it at my bullrider....when that was pulled, several beans were cracked and I sprouted them. So, I've got 8 "krypt rider" fems on the floor and I'll have to wait for those to finish, so I can cull the backup cuts. Otherwise, I've got a pile of about 60 varieties to try out (though many I only have 3 beans of).
Those heatsinks seem to be capable to cool a lot more power than they are if force cooled.
Yes, I bet they could do the full rated 10w if they were cooled. With that, what I call, "cell" area; I wanted to stay at as high efficacy as possible, so fans would hurt that. The total system was right at 100Lu/W, which is already a hit from 600's or 1000's. I ran that test for several reasons I suppose; A. I like micro spaces and hadn't done one in a long time. B. A couple friends want to try things out and this was a "Dry run" to see how it may work for their needs. C. Finally, I have a very limited space and I was considering the idea of optimizing that. My total space for everything (veg, cuts, flower, dry, etc) is 7'x7' and I have a 4x8 main area in that space. The "cell" was designed to be able to be stacked 2 high in my area and I could fit 16 of those in my 4x8 space :D:D (so a theoretical max of 6.4 Lb in a 4x8 space). As well I could run a separate batch for each cell. However, this would end up with crazy high plant numbers and again lower luminous efficacy than doing higher wattage and lower density........so it was just fun to do.
sorry if I rambled a bit. Have a great 4th everyone!!!!
