First build, first grow... currently vegging under ~250 Watts of T8's. Plants have almost outgrown the space so I need to get a new fixture for flowering.
This is going to be a work in progress in order to get the light spacing correct, while not make a complete mess/hack of it. Should be ok for first time around...
Grow footprint: ~30"x~52".
8x Citizen CLU048-1212C4
2x MeanWell HLG-185H-C1400B
8x CoolerMaster 2.5W CPU fans (lucky score on Newegg a while back.. $2 each!)
Cheapo 12V/40W Supply for fans...
Various 8020 aluminum extrusion bits I had laying around
Various aluminum pieces I had laying around
The 1212s are a nice fit on the cheapo CoolerMaster units:
A bit of testing temps to make sure the fan was up to snuff... seeing 30-35C across different units:
Heat sink and Fan on mounting plate... thought was to have some additional holes in order to allow for some adjustment. at this point f*ck it...
Frame taking shape:
Mostly completed wiring:
Another shot, a giant mess of fan wiring is gathered at the center and is somewhat tamed by bundling together with shrink tubing.
