Afghan Mass Day 20 :smoking: ppp

the timing couldn't be better tho, becuz in other newz, thx to the recent stimulus, i was able to get meself two 120w qb'z & they're scheduled to arrive monday, which will be jus in the nick for this one goin into preflower, woot! 

blueberry (l) & afghan mass (r) in their new house of light 
ordered theze a week ago off amazon for $110 ea with free shipping...they arrived yesterday, in jus 7d
...from china
...during a pandemic
...so hey, i was already ecstatic before i even opened the boxez, lol
the same maker also had a single 2-pc board (it could be one board, or 2 boardz seperated), which i really liked, but i decided to g'head & go with two single boardz, so that each board can be seperately dimmable...a def plus when u have 2 or 3 plantz at diff agez
besidez, it'z uncle sam'z money anyway, so what the hell
anyhoo, they've got all the recognized specz, bellz & whistlez & i for one couldn't be happier :smiley1: each board has 288 samsung lm301b diodez (3000k+5000k+660nm red+ir+uv), detached, dimmable meanwell driverz, switchable added red for flower, 2.7 umol/j (i have no idea what that even meanz
), 15mm heatsinkz & run 120w true at full power...what'z not to like-?
but wait, there'z more!
the best part of all is that they run as cool as a cucumber...most def a plus in my small, vertically challenged space
the driverz do get a bit warm of course, but that'z to be expected & is no biggie at all...the boardz on the other hand, with the 15mm sinkz, barely get lukewarm...and that'z with no fan at all blowin across em...but i do have a 6" fan blowin across em, so they stay even less than lukewarm, lol...oh yeah!
i'm still playin around with power levelz & distance from plantz & such, but at prezent, one board is at 60%, the other at 65% & me clozet is stayin 78-80f, no prob
ppp
her fanz have been doin the droopy/downcurl thing & all new growth is really light green with the infernal twistytie tipz
she'z keepin her overall color tho & has been drinkin daily, so as uzual, i'll jus keep an eye on & wing it, lol 
that'z her 7th set comin out & she'z only 6" tall, lol
i'm glad to see her growin tho, seein as how my first blueberry attempt outside las summer was a complete fail, lol 
gonna give a slight topdressing with bone meal tonite...what the hell, it can't hurt, lol
meanwhile, all is good & the growtrain rollz on, choo-choo! 
healthy enuff overall, but the damn budz are just...not...developing
first time i've had this particular silleeness happen, so all i can do is jus ride with it & hope for the best
ppp
