The end of test 2

Well
This test is over. quite impressed with this small panel "pher Wiggle"..
She didn´t liked to be topped !!!
My air pump decided to quit.. so she's been out of water for a day...
Changed res to 300ppm it has climbed to 500 ++ the last couple of days. small signs of nute burn at 450ppm.
She is moved to my dr40 under my hps.
Keeping her on veg nutes until she is fully recovered.

So for now this is the last picture of her.
I´ll be back with updates on swapping my epiled`s with cree`s..

:dance2:
Peace

Properly a la diva ore another critical jack herer.
The cree´s should work for veg and flower (in theory).

Stay green

What else to do on a rainy day

just finished swapping my 10w led to 5w cree´s

Running them on the same led driver as the old one

They are glued on with some adhesive thingy.. lot of work without the proper tools ( a clamp with 6 kg pressure would be helpful )..

specs

Cree bins

XTeARY-00-0000-000000P05 royal blue 460nm 4 bins

XTeAWT-00-0000-00000LBe7 3000k 16 bins

Voltage is total 64,6vdc_-_ 55,54w

Power draw from sucket about 38-42w "not tested"

1 bin 3,32v 860ma 2,77w Give ore take calculation error :clap:

Colour is way off in the next pic.. but it works

Colour spesc from datasheet..

I´ll pop a new bean middle of next week
Stay tuned
Peace

Well im starting a new grow with a delicious seed critical jack. I snaped the main branch on the last one. Snaped a branch today also WTF. So this time should be problem free. NOT.
The new sedling did not have a nice entry to her life. Broke the tip of the tap root today WTF. This strain aint Funny to Work With..
Anyways i hope she will be healthy for the rest of her life. And going to like the new cree`s..
Show will start tomorrow. if i have the time to build a new top feed system. Make a new timer.and get a new airpump.
Stay green everyone

Macgyver

Voila
I did manage to macgyver a new top feed system together, using leftover parts from my current system.
Got a new airpump.
And make a new on / off timer from.. arduino stuff from some other diy projects. about 30$ total..not bad at all.
Before i took down the "old" led. I downloaded a luxmeter app..to messure lux with me phone
Old led was about 4600 Lux
New one with cree´s is about 6800 Lux
Thats just ridiculous.
Anyways leca is soaking in ph 5.5 water until tomorrow. All the fittings thats glued also need to rest for a day.

Macgyver top feed

Im back to the 3l res again.. i know thats going to PITA,, :slaps:

And the little Critical Jack Herer, just waiting for her home to get finished

All in the name of fun
Stay green
