Why don't your put the light drivers/ power packs outsider the room that will get the temps down
I have this idea to place the drivers in 6 inch duct work with a fan and see if I can detour a lot of the heat from ever even mixing with room air .A fan powered tunnel from one end of room to other right through the walls ! I think the cord is 10' long? I know for sure is longer then on the TSL2000s. Need to ponder the ballast treatment .
That loop system sounds like a great idea. So essentially you would have the ductwork run along the outside of the room in another air conditioned room? But how cold would that room have to be to cool the ductwork enough to bring cool air back in?
The loop would be be just metal duct work from one end of room to other [ over 25 feet of pipe] that I would probably pop rivet heat fins onto.
I would run it on the outside ceiling over the room in 'unheated/conditioned ' air . not a lung room yet [ but may be necessary ] .
When you said drop the top and take a ride I instantly thought of this song!
Besides the two verts I have a 99 1200xlr with under 12k on it !
The verts and NYs helmet law along with wife and job make driving an easy choice over riding , but it is here if the old guy gets bored or ambitious ...
It's not all bad being old ! My shit is paid for !
So I hope I caught up with you all I appreciate the input .
On the color change, I think I know why so soon and who is to blame .
I am sure I have had as much influence over this early IMO change as genetics . I will say when I cloned the OV went full fall autumn color and have been the slowest to root and recover.
By the way the clones are killing it like you all expect and I will update photos tomorrow on them .
So I think with the only plants having the color change being the OV that it is 'genetics' and some of my doing .
I have been doing my best to fert as much as possible and with the 3 different finishers for fax farm [ open sesame, beastie bloomz, and cha ching] I have tried to 'whip' through the cycle .
I will honestly say I installed the cha ching today for the second time which may be 'ahead of the game ' a little thus giving me my results .
Definitely not deficient as I am adding 2 ferts heavy in K and a third 'finisher ' hormone vitamin mix.
So I think I sort of did it on purpose ? Just wasn't thinking like the plant [ this will change ] .
Came home today to the room being 93 degrees !!
Some minor wilting but everyone was in good enough shape to tough it out .Heat and drought stress done for flower cycle now .
Cut the 6 inch hole through the ceiling so I can install the loop tomorrow hopefully. Lights are out now so all good !
On the me not flipping out about my PAR reading yesterday it was sunny and beautiful today at work .The type of sun that burns you .
Whipped out the phone and pointed it at the sun and it read ..........826 !!!
No fucking joke ,so I am sure I have the lights now within Gods limits and may raise them a little tomorrow after cutting the bars to make my path better .I am lucky to have not scorched the plants today for sure .
And before some young gun says what does that olde fuck know about the sun here what it was like at work today .
Only been doing copper roofs for about 27 years now . There were moments of intense sun today although far from summer .
826 , fuck photone I have more sense then that . I will see if there is a setting besides LED but I see no need for a Quantum to confirm my suspicions unless I run into trouble .
Pic of the vette , it's going to rain all weekend so still no ride for 2022 yet !
We made it to Friday !
Everyone enjoy !!!
