Howdy growers! I'm back with updates on my Space Buckets (check out the website for a DIY guide
).
I've started a another cycle and I've improved a bunch of stuff, so I thought I'd make a new thread. I'll keep all my plants on this one from now on.
I've installed a glass heat shield for the top part of the bucket, separating the bulbs and the plant entirely. It is a sort of cooltube-bucket, it features a 6mm glass, two 220v fans and about 130w of CFL (4 bulbs).
Here are some pics, click to enlarge.

I'm also building these light-spacers, that are stacked to the main bucket once the plant gains height. This is the top part of a bucket fitted with 2 meters of 5050SMD LEDs, about 100 chips total.
I use two 12v 1A supplies to power the strips.

Lastly! I've started a fresh bucket with a Boss Hogg, now 5 days from seed. I'll keep updating with the plants progress, I'm testing the glass shield for the first time.
