Punta Roja Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) There will be a delay in this build, I've had a rethink and I'm going to position the res in the middle. It's called " continual improvement" This is down to I can't re-jig my light from the XL to the R. (I could if I sawed the frame in half or fucked about with those brittle connectors). The XL gives equal coverage to my growspace and seeing that I would have been using only 66% of the growspace it would have been ... let's say... uneconomical. If I was to grow with the res at one end then I'd be wasting perhaps 33% of the light. At least now both plants will receive the same amount of light. But it means waiting until next weekend before I can commission the build because I need another tank connector. Gives me time to do a deep clean... and dream a bit more... It was a hard decision but it's for the best. ATB PR Edited November 15, 2020 by Punta Roja 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punta Roja Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 @badbillybob I'm hoping that the tank connectors will be delivered tomorrow. I am rearing to go, and the plants are over ripe for potting up. I'll get there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
