I did read a few people with some stories but these are reasonable fittings and European certified, whatever that means, but will keep an eye on them. I would prefer a LED strip, it was just a little hard to understand the drivers etc and DIYLED doesn't stock stuff small enough for me. Give Ads a PM he may still have some dimmable 65w quantum boards lurking around his lair or a similar alternative... @diyleduk T5s will do the job though mate, I kick seedling and clones off with my t5 still then under quantum board when rooted. Mine is not dimmable though so thats the main reason - May make a diffusior like Vince did I believe when I get around to it.. Still building my cloning cab for the past few months Edited November 7, 2019 by InTheSystem 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone moved to strips. Samsung do some good strips in about 300mm lengths. I spoke to Ad about it before and small stuff isn't really his thing. It's understanding the driver needed for the strips that screws me. Also what bloody wattage the strips are in the first place. Will use these T5 for now and get some in there to test. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwell LPF-60D-36 driver for a 65w quantum board mate - I got one off Ad a couple of months ago as he gifted me it (I know, lucky git I am) - which is the only reason I suggested he may have some old stock lying around still - actually I don't think he ever sold any, he gave some to testers Maybe you could shove a single LM301b strip in there on a driver with a dim switch? Anyway I am going off on one now - don't smoke and type It's a lovely cab mate, wish I had your DIY skills... Mine will be a cardboard box with a PC fan I imagine Edited November 7, 2019 by InTheSystem 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame you and all the other LED users with their shiny lights. Probably will not make an appearance for the noodle but very excited. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was well on the more watts is better, now Its an executive decision to even run my lights full blast. I am getting great growth on 46w 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obvious LED is a very good technology. The strip will give me 60cm x 30cm across the front of box but will need to be dimmed down. The MH/HPS will stay though. This next run I am going to fill the whole box up with plants as I will have the light spread. Exciting times but the noodles are smelling good. Will take some pictures tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCKSTEADY6 Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 So today is flower day 53. Things have been going along quite well. A few leaves yellowed off and were removed. The flowers are shaping up nicely and are what I had hoped for. One of the flowers still showing a bit of a toxicity. Not sure. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes getting close. 8 weeks today. I didn't have any plans for flushing, I didn't think it was needed in compost, maybe just a few plain waters before chop. Take it easy mate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zabz Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 That's an impressive board o' bud you've got there mate! Notes have been taken The old noodle pot has to be the easiest flush you'll ever do, caught me off guard just how quickly they ate themselves with such little medium... like you've said, a few heavy plain waters and you'll be golden. impressive stuff 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken note off this zabz mate, this is something I wouldn’t have thought off, an would have been doing the usual 7-10 day flush, now I think I’ll go for a 3-4 day flush... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince noir rock n roll star Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 be careful at this stage ,the resin on these is greasy ..prime stuff for mould if you get a sudden drop in temp or increase alongside humidity ..but it looks like you cracked the pot noodle challenge with aplomb .. fantastic work and worthy of a bit of bling from the kingdom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
