SWC Micro Grow

1.5 cf, 50Watts!
Let the light bleaching begin.

Actually, you may be OK with 1 W., emitters.

That would not float with the bigger emitters.

This occurs at about 5".

And anything over about 91K. Lux, will halt growth.
This should be a very informative experiment.

Aloha,

Yea, 50w for 1.5cuft of space inside of a hair over a square foot of floor space. 50w of pure usable power. Actually I think the 50w rating includes the cooling system, so most likely the panel itself is pulling about 45w, just under a watt per diode.

These panels just need to hurry up!

khyberkitsune, is that mylar you have lined on the inside of your pc case? If so, where did you get it? I have looked at all the major stores (Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc) and cannot find it anywhere.

good mylar only comes from hydro stores or so I found. if you want a cheap sub then go to walmart to the camping section and get some space blankets. They are thin mylar but works very well.

I'm using Chromalux paper, bought from Michaels arts/hobby stores. Easier to use, quite high reflectivity index, cut cut panels and glue in, less chances of creasing stuff and having ill-lined enclosures.

Update time. Panels still have yet to arrive, so I'm just watching these girls do their thing.
The Krusty Bucket is rolling along nicely.
The moms are coming along as well.
The two destined for the PC case are starting to take off a bit now that they've established a good root system.
And the runt is starting to produce stuff up top.

Manufacturer snag, lights delayed.

Plants are starting to get large.

[khyberkitsune]

Praying my lights arrive by next Friday. Plants are looking nice but the roots are almost touching the bottom of the tank. I may have to re-cut clones and get those rooted if these get too much larger.

[khyberkitsune]

Customs and what not delaying my lights. These plants are almost too big and I'll have to cut clones off of them if I have to wait another week.
