Under The Wild LED Sky 04

Did not document Seedling Stage from germination through seedling transplant in photos. Seeds soaked 14 hours in distilled water, paper towel method, sprouts to seedling coconut coir pellets. Grow is Fall/Winter. The room housing the tent is blacked out. Behind the tent a window has been covered with plywood, sealed with weatherstrip and holes drilled to accept 6” diameter screened vents for fan ducting. Fans are ceiling height. Added to the intake is a downward duct to drop fresh air to the floor. SETUP 4’x8’x6’6” grow tent 2 - 6” 420 cfm fans (in/out) 2 - clip fans (circulation) 2 - 15 amp surge protectors (1 for fans/heaters, 1 for all fixtures, UVB timer and UVB) 2 - mini space heaters (winter) 1 - portable AC (summer) Lights - California Light Works (CLW) - Solar System 550’s (3 total). The Lights - replacement equivalent - 600-watt HPS bulbs - using less energy. Lights are chained via rj11 data cables to a CLW-Controller. Allowing, manipulation of the light spectrum at different RWB (red,white,blue) percentages and for various stages of plant growth. The controller is mounted outside the tent. From “sprout to finish” one can pre-program the controller for an entire grow. The light fixtures do not chain. That means a lot of cordage gets tied up out of the grow area, as can be seen in the picture. Attached to the two outside light fixtures are CLW - UVB kits (2 lights 24-watt Fluorescent each, 4 total). The sunrise/sunset controller feature gradually ramps lights on and off (dawn - dusk). Personal setting - 15 minutes each. Ramp up/down included during program On/Off. Soil - Kellogg Organic Plus - raised bed and potting soil. Containers 2” coconut coir seed starting pellets and 5 gallon fabric grow bags.
