I've decided to replace 12V power supplies with 5V for the fans, in order to reduce potential bodily discomfort and decrease power consumption. If the fan power supply design reverts back to 12V, there will definitely be some sort of protective cover system implemented.
They can be found for cheap but wouldn't be necessary with fans running at 5V. If it were a box design, I'd most likely utilize the fan covers like the many other LED lighting fixtures.shiny chrome fan guards are pretty cheap, tho I guess not as cheap as band aids for stumpy
nice setup!
That could be done!
Thanks AP, no Im just sticking with the 4000K for now switching out 35 Vero 10s would be a little pricey, not super costly but costly enough and too much work to unscrew and unsolder them all and redo haha maybe someday but not in the very near future I dont think. I would like to try Vero 3000 or 3500 in a way though at some point possibly, I started with CXA3070s 3000K (which did well other than for light spread issues and a bit extreme on the stretching aspect from my experiences) and then switched to the Vero 4000K on this build since I usually veg for a couple weeks in the final pot size in the flower tent before flipping to flower due to tiny veg space that doesnt allow ample veg size or use of final containers because the footprint is too small for larger containers. The 4000K helps with reducing stretching a little bit (vs Cree 3000K) in veg and stretch phase of flower then I kick the reds on post stretch until finish. If I didnt veg at all with the light I would probably have chose 3500K or maybe 3000K, it was hard to chose I went back and forth several times before commiting to the 4000K.
Ive smoked real True OG from Elemental dispensary a few times when I was visiting a buddy somewhat near that area, so Im assuming anything other than what I experienced from that is from the Blue Power side of the cross, FWIW. I grew 4 Truepower OG females last run and they all had either more OGish smell with a hint of sweetness from the Blue Power male or more sweet almost berry hint with some OG to it. All had a mix of the two smells more or less varying between the amounts of OG and Blue Power in the different phenos. Two were frostier and danker than the others which I kept and ran again the #2 and #4, #4 having some of a slight berry type smell with a dank OGish background about a 50/50 mix of the two scents and the #2 having a danker smell and flavor with almost none of the Blue Power smells/flavors, it reminded me a little bit of The White clone I ran twice a few years ago in the bud look, frostyness, and flavor. I dig em, I didnt get to make any F2s yet that I wanted to since I tried to germ 6 of the 11 seeds I had and one didnt germ and one was a runt that died off on its own when I tried to flower her and the other 4 were females, Ive got 5 seeds left now of the TPOG. I was keeping the #2 and #4 to hit with a nice male if I got one from the rest of the seeds but Im going to have to leave halfway across the country for a few weeks with no one to water/care for them to visit my grandma who has cancer, so I had to kill all my mothers off sadly but oh well, plenty more gear to go through here. Hoping to get some nice females and males from the last 5 seeds when I get back to it, ideally even finding a better female for some F2s than from the first batch I popped would be great.
Good call I think, increases the system efficiency overall. Also the A11s aren't grill-friendly anyway.
when those model 6s gonna be for sale? I need to pick me up 1
Ya, just finished first flowering session under v29s. That bud was from the smallest plant. The best plant was a big wild lady, untrained @700g trimmed wet weight. Ill post a pic when properly dry.
.............I think your simple rail system is genius.
