Ok quite alot happening this week...
Finaly the last sp 3000 arrived, as with the first one i took of the driver and dimmer of. The mount for dimmer was missing a screw only to be noticed as the dimmer no longer helt it in place.
Instead i mount them on chains and fan cool them and the one end of the PCB, with usb clipon fans. It keeps board and driver 5 to 10 degrees lower with theoretical performance and lifetime improvement.
This model seems to be rev.1 as the cabinet has the mars logo on its side as i have seen in early previews and not like the first i got where its on the top. Also the dimmer color is gray compared to white on what seems to be rev.2
Daisy chained dimmer works np.
Good luck.. Looks great.. Hydro never works out till harvest for me.. Ill have a few weeks of no issues then BAM! PH or roots want to be a bitch! I like your air system you got going on there.. Nifty asf!
@smokeyspartacus,
I would love to be able to complete a whole hydro grow.. But ai have found my sweet spot woth coco coir.. Good luck with your garden!
@Professor_Chaos, sad and excit3d to hear, am i past your problems timewize :)
air for water or room?
I dont think i have described for water yet but im gonna finish this diary with the complete build of room and description along with user experience and mods.
Im really a fan of dwc hope it gonna stay that way but im almost halfways and its looking good :)
@MarsHydroLED, i love them and i have no doubt that my 600w HPS friend will stop smiling at LED ;)
But i gotta have them live past 5 years thats why i cool them. From that point on its really getting cheaper and cheaper compared to HPS as LED 5 times the price.
@Fast_Buds, thanks first hydroponics so lets see how it goes :)
The strain was recommended for it in an article on your site.
Same with the dwarfs just on Queen seeds site.
one dwarf had just broken the seed when the three others where with +1cm root.
Maybe it was to early for it to be put in jiffy or it was just an extra sensitive seed as it ended up with head rot.
