@FrozenChozen -I have another lighting question. Any chance I can swap out the ballast system on my light?

Currently I have four(4) meanwell LPC-60-1400 drivers, one per LED. I would want to replace all four with a single meanwell, HLG-185-C1050A. Everything else would remain constant, fans, coolers, LED. Just a new driver. It would reduce my overall power draw from 168w to 124w and increase the efficiency of the LED's by 2.5%. An overall reduction of 13parw.

My temps are at 88* and I'd like to drop that a bit by relocating the driver outside the space.... Right now they're hanging about 1' above the light bar in the same space.
I think that's something we can deal with.

3 of 4 have shown sex, one to go... I think I'll go with one of the GG4 crosses but I'm waiting on that last one to show before I decide.

Sorry for the late update y'all, I recently moved and the trashcan is 30miles away from where I live, makes life interesting.

Have a good day and happy gardens.

If you're going to be DQing people like senile fungus, something about the rules has gotta be changed.. lol. What's the point of even watching these contests if everyone gets DQed and the winner wins on technicality. Fuck it.. Just give everyone a sticker. You all win.

Update:
I mentioned that I thought the cup didn't have enough air holes, I must have mixed to much ancient forest in the ocean forest, it was like a ball of clay, so I tried to remove and replace some of it without stressing it to much, it seems to be better, its no monster, but its still alive, I will have to pick a Provision seed next time, damn these freebies from Attitude..

Just to be clear, this is a green light? Right then, I'll have it swapped out during lights out.
Did you need a green stop sign instead? Here:


HAPPY NATIONAL CHOCOLATE FOR BREAKFAST DAY.

Its your lucky day!
I don't care about late updates right now. I'm really stoned and not in a mood to DQ anyone. Enjoy my inconsistency, its a ploy to piss off the complainers, maybe if anyone else doesn't want to be here they'll leave! I don't really want anyone else to leave though, this is when it starts to get good!

Week #6 update: With temps around 88* at night and 96* during the day, I guess things aren't going too bad. Installed the new driver, actual output is 1150ma. At 1150ma, my temp reached a peak of 90* today. Almost a 6* improvement. I have the driver dimmed to 575ma right now in order to keep temperatures low. I may relocate the tent to someplace with less ambient heat, since the 4inch vortex cant seem to keep things down.





Disclaimer, all temps are in Fahrenheit. Just noticed it I'm to lazy to change it now.bongsmilie

ETA:Damnit, everything's sideways....

ETA2: Ok I fixed gravity.

I'm glad you gave him the pass since I think he is a stand up guy, at the same time it looks like you are basically changing your mind on the rule change again. Now can everyone else expect the free pass? If so, you could have skipped a huge mess and just gone directly to the better decision you appear to be reaching now. It would be unfair to DQ either ASF now or anyone else for the same infraction others have already gotten a free pass on. Seems you announced one thing and are now proceeding down the other path, it's impossible to have accurate expectations of how the rules will be enforced if you keep changing them, that is something that will rightly frustrate some of your participants.
