In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, uh, Gavita?

[DeRail]

I just stumbled across this homemade plasma unit

Easy enough. I'll take 2. And a beef and cheese chimichanga.

I'll replace the bulb and reflector insert on the Gavita once a year to stay fresh.

Isn't one of the benefits of the new Gavita's is that after a year the bulb only diminishes about 5%?

Great show
:animbong:

 

[SofaKingHigh]

Thanks sdgrower. You're correct, but 5% is a huge loss of $ compared to replacing the bulb yo. A 6 lighter pushing 12 Ps would lose about 10 zones at 5%, assuming the light output was effecting yield.

Here's an update. Got the baby rockers on Dutch Master Bloom A/B & Zone. Blumats are the mother fucking shit! (So is the new Young Jeezy album, TM:103)

Probably going to hold off on assembling the UC another month so I can build it out properly. Space issues with everything that's currently going on.

So for x-mas I'm gifting myself another Gavita tent for 9 Ghost OG to ride it out in.

Wow very nice automated grow....good sh.t!

 

[SofaKingHigh]

Thanks bluewaves!

Dope setup from the blumats to the gavita! Girls and buds are looking great brah... :nod

 

[SofaKingHigh]

Thanks Shady!

Just got back from buying a duplicate setup I like it so much.

Was gonna rock a plasma but they're back ordered to the manufacturer. Kinda funny with all the sales I spent less for a tent, fan, filter and double ended 1000w than the plasma costs.

Saw live readings on a PAR meter under a 600w MH and the Gavita plasma. Plasma in the hot spot puts out twice the PAR and only uses 300w. What I didn't like is the small area in which the plasma actually covered evenly. Very fast falloff when the meter leaves center. Just means rotating which plants sit beneath the light I guess. Still want.

Whilst it looks like there is a drop off. I happily vegged plants in my dr150 under one plasma. No plants rotated and no plants stretched or grew towards the light. All grew evening, right up to the edge of the 1.5 m tent.

The plasma puts out 300micro moles of light, the 600w is 1000micro moles. You would need about 3-4 plasmas to equal the yield from the 600w pro el line.

Top work on buying another setup, they really are the nuts.

I just too delivery of more plasmas for myself. The non ac version is so so heavy.

 

[SofaKingHigh]

Sure mate, rub it in that it's the dog's bollocks when I can't buy one! FML :D

Glad to hear you're satisfied and jumped on more. It's gonna be a nail biting month waiting but I'm soon to be on it!

I want 3 double ended 1ks with 2 plasma units above an Under Current. Bananas.

 

[theherbalizor]

That system would be amazing.

The 1000 units are simply astonishing. The double ended bulb ensures no wire shadow.

dutchy in coco eh. just rockin the regular schedule??

run off? or how does that work with blumats

 

[SofaKingHigh]

I just did what the bottles said for regular strength, which is 130ml of A and B into 10gals of water, 2.1 EC and 5.7 pH no adjustment needed. When it gets low I fill it up with a gallon or two to dilute and run it dry, then start over.

1ml per gallon of zone.

No runoff. The roots are dolphining up out of the coco where the drips hit. Raging!

legit legit.....massive looking...

clean up those lowers like mad and you'll have nothing but colas.

 

[SofaKingHigh]

For sure bro, they're due for it now, thanks for the reminder.

Super frosty strain too, gonna be cray. Smells like a mixture of tart and pine fresh in bloom now, sites say a grape taste in reviews so it should be an all around winner. Leaves are turning purple now at week 7, yee.
