LED Grow update no.3, October 4th, 2011

Had some trouble today. Realised that I left the fan on 24 hours continuously. Grr, one of the BBxNL has drooped, as the front pots got quite dry. The rest are doing fine.

I felt that the grow room was a bit cold so I added 4 x 20w warm white CFLs (2700k) to give the temperature a little boost. I tried to find blue spectrum bulbs (6100k) but was unable. I wired for 6 batons out of the junction box in the photo. Two of the tails are not in use so I put a connector block on the ends of each of them and taped them up for now. I will find a use for them later.

Please be very careful when handling electricity. I do not condone unqualified individuals to do their own DIY electrics. However, if you do decide to DIY be sure you terminate all connections correctly and tightly. This will minimise the chances of fire.

I’ll keep an eye on the plants and I’ll leave the fan off until tomorrow.
