I got sidetracked & havent removed the Scrog yet but this morning the plant on the right is touching the screen so they are growing I'm turning all 6 cobs on for a few hours every day & soon they will stay on throughout the light cycle I'm only gonna top twice & im gonna be far more vigilant on trimming off non productive growth as I just spent hours trimming popcorn on the headband 2 plants should decrease the time needed to fill this screen I found gyo seedbank has kandykush in 3- packs & im gonna order one I haven't popped seeds in awhileIMG_0368.JPGIMG_0369.JPG IMG_0370.JPG

the big day is almost upon us I think I enjoy getting ready for Christmas more than Christmas itself the nights in front of the fire getting gifts ready to go & munching my creations ( gotta make sure they're fit for human consumption) this year I smoked salmon & pickled little smokies , kielbasa & hard boiled eggs some of which I'll give out & some I'll munch really enjoying the headband in these cold nights these are pretty good times just hanging out with my wife & dogs getting ready for the kids & grandkids & just want to take a second &I wish everyone a merry Christmas whatever you're doing I hope you're enjoying all the little things as much as I amIMG_0371.JPGIMG_0367.JPG IMG_0360.JPG

Heres the low down Constant voltage doent add up, but the current gets distributed between all the cobs added.
Example HLG-240H-42B This driver can take up to 42V I have CXB3590s on it. 240watts/42v=5.71Amps. I can run as many cobs as I want as long as that doesnt exceed the rating on the cob. I run 6 cobs per driver so 950ma each if I dont dim them. I could run 4 cobs at roughly 1400ma. so the wattage per cob varies based on how many cobs used.
Constant current driver...
Example...HLG-185H-C1400... it has a constant current range from 71v-143V.
In the range cabs get 1400ma. so 2 36v cobs would each get 1400 ma, or 4 36v cobs will still get 1400 ...2 cobs would 50 watts each and 4 cobs would get 50 each also

Hey Bassman, theres a guy over on LedBuilder.org with some panels that have burnt out LEDs... he's got (2?) Meanwell LRS-350-48's, and he's trying to salvage what he's got. He wants to just plug in the partially working LED boards to one driver but doesn't want to blow anything up. http://ledbuilder.org/index.php?threads/parts-matching-question.77/#post-293

Can you help him?

Getting ready to raise my ppm. a wee bit as my color is starting to lighten up quite a bit I'm running all 6 cobs now & turned my heat down a bit as 82 degrees isn't needed about 65-70 should do fine I'll check where the ppm is sitting this morning as I haven't checked it in a few days it was sitting at 390 you can tell when there is a good frost out as the humidity drops when it freezes outside IMG_0390.JPG IMG_0391.JPG IMG_0392.JPG IMG_0389.JPG

Not much change but this is the slowest part of the grow for me & the time patience really is a virtue as I was just about to kick up the ppm because the new growth wasn't as dark as I would like it so I changed that thought 400 ppm. is fine & even better than that it's safe so for now I'm not gonna up the nutes until I get more growth the plants are starting to even out in sizeIMG_0393.JPGIMG_0394.JPG IMG_0395.JPGIMG_0396.JPG

Have you ever heard of perpetual gardening? Think of it as a way to keep busy during those waits!

in a few months I'm wanting to fire up another grow that should take some of this idle time off my hands as well as give me a harvest about every 45 days-+ I'm really liking the operating cost of the led I should get some of the kinks worked out this grow also like the thought of having a couple strains as well

You could run just two bloom zones and harvest every month.

something along those lines would be cool I would imagine you would need an area to get those clones a bit larger before going under the cobs which would reduce veg time I have a 4 bulb t-5 (24") fixture that I'm gonna put to work it would be nice to put them in the room @ 16" ,topped & ready to go instead of the 6" I'm starting out with now there is much more I can be doing with stuff I have laying around I used at my old house only doing 2 plants makes it so convenient to go buy babies instead of cloning but cloning leaves you room to start from seed & pheno hunt & there is not nearly the selection for clones that there is for seeds all that being said there is more I can be doing with resources I already have

I upped the temps a wee bit I'll have to check later to see what I've got ph tending to climb up around 7 gotta lower it about every 3 days still playing with the screen this weekend I'm gonna build a nursery for my seedlings the headband babies are trying to mold so in spite of the quality it's too hard to grow I'm gonna replace itIMG_0404.JPGIMG_0402.JPG IMG_0403.JPG

I've got the heater on a timer there is a stretch of time in the afternoon that the heater is off & the cobs keep the temps mid 60s but for the most part I'm having to run the heater all night ,the mornings then off afternoons & early evening that schedule can change with weather conditions as it gets warmer with rain & colder when clearIMG_0406.JPG
