had a busy long weekend doing yet another reconfiguration on my cabinet.
As I am starting from seed again,I decided that starting with the 400 or 600 might be a bit harsh.
So to be expedient (read lazy) I hung the Badboy unit under the shade for the HID light.
This worked well,but it meant I had to lay on my belly to water the plants. . . not my thing at all!
You can see from the first pics how tight a space it became.
So I removed the HID shade and the ducting running to it.My new fan box is designed to hook to 8'' ducting for when I use it to cool the shade but for now I just have it drawing air from the entire cabinet with no ducting on the intake to allow the T-5 to be out of the way a bit.
The new CT fan seems to cool the T-5 lights just fine.I am picking up a second fan at the end of the week(I designed the box to hold two) and that should give me enough airflow through duct and shade to run the HID lighting when the plants are a bit bigger.
The seedlings are doing very well with only minute stretching from the T-5's.
The bigger plant in the middle was given to me when it accidently got left behind on a trip to the bush for an outdoor grow.It is some type of Skunk cross varient...see how she does
