LED EXPERIMENT - BLUE DOMINANT FLOWERING

[khyberkitsune]

Starting 12/12 immediately, they've rooted in the net pots, I'm using some sterilized creek pebble as a base to give the bottom some space for roots, and a rubberband to help hold the pots in place. This is major SWC, the trays are barely an inch and a half tall. Consider this a makeup for the lost PC case build.

30w for two plants, 8-460nm diodes and 4-660nm diodes per lamp. This should be fun!

I'm gonna hide out in the back and watch this one. Wavelength has had my mind in shambles thinking lately, it'll be neat to see what happens here.

I'm wondering this as well, so I'm going to futz around a bit with these lights.

So far, so good. The system holds up well. I am thinking about putting the airstone directly under the net pots, though, for direct root mass aeration and the formation of air roots, and to allow the longer roots just suck up nutes as needed.

In fact, let me do that.

This should also keep the water loss due to bubbles popping all over the place to a minimum.

This will be a fun one! It would be really cool to do an identical red LED grow right next to it. Same food, same strain. Just an idea.
Good Luck!!!

...de LAWN chaiah on dis here one..!

I swear, as soon as I have some money to be buying expensive LEDs, I'm going to be looking for me soldiering ir'n...

GO khyberkitsune! :thumbsup:

Soon enough, you may not even need the soldering iron! I think we'll get snap-together stuff sooner or later!

So far, so good! They're alive, well, and responding. The back one is starting to flower out, the front one has teensy wisps of pistil hairs visible.

... the eye candy, khyberkitsune...

so reminiscent of the acid posters of the 70s... I looove the garden, mon! It will be interesting to see the characteristics of the buds when you're done...
