lol, those were autos, autos were specifically excluded from the real comps ;)

There's been several of these comps over the last few years, we were up to the 9th "official" cup last fall. I couldn't join that one but have "competed" (loser every time) in several. The last one was stacked in @The Dawg's favour so much that I would have had to re-design my room and change lighting to compete so I skipped it ;)

Check this sensor out if you get a moment, it uses leaf temps to adjust watering so you stay in the optimum zone for photosynthesis.

I think the only similarish thing is the Dimlux system with the IR leaf temp probe. But this is only used to dim the output of the lights.

Very cool, integrated with your lighting, environmental controls and watering system it could keep your plants at maximum transpiration throughout the cycle. Only thing I didn't check is price, but even expensive technology eventually trickles down to consumer level affordability. Cool stuff.

If I was going to put a LEC in an existing horizontal hood, do you think I really should remove the glass? Do you think it's a mistake not to use a vertical hood? I'd really like to incorporate a 315 in my 3.5'x5' box. I know you're pretty experienced with CMH.

Hey, how are you. I'd remove the glass, they're really designed to run without it but not a huge loss if you kept the glass in. I personally wouldn't worry too much about any loss in efficiency by running it horizontal vs. vertical, I remember the difference is minuscule, like 2-3% gain running it vertical.

I think your biggest concern in there will be managing the heat, not sure what the height is, the higher the better since you have about 12" of head room for the fixture + 20" or so above canopy. If it came down to keeping the glass or running hot I'd keep the glass and exhaust the fixture.

Talking about frost... was checking the status of the seed pods on the flower room gals and grabbed this pic. It's a lower branch, sitting almost 90 degrees now with weight from the seeds.

Agree with The Dawg, couldn't put it better my self.

Well things are moving fast in the flower room. These are at day 46 (Blue Harley is Day 39). Not long to go for most, pretty sure the Blue Ripper will get the pull by Sunday at 7 weeks, the rest will go a few extra days but no longer than end of next week, well before 8 weeks.

Good confirmation on the effects of the initiators at 11.5/12.5. I'd run negative DIF all summer and had been wondering if that had any significant effects on finish times but it doesn't look like it as I've been running 65-68F lights off, 76-80F lights on this round.
