I think it looks good so far? Some slight burn from the Canna Terra hot soil...but it will be ok I guess.

Hi again!

I'm planning to do some modifications to the wirering in order to get more space inside the cabinet. As you can see I have a small plastic box in the right side of the floor. This contains AC adapters, cables, etc.
I tried moving it outside the case yesterday - and it was just a mess. So I'm instead planning to make a small dividing wall that will take up more vertical space, but on the other hand make some more horizontal space available - maybe for another plant - 1 or 2 liters. Will need to find some materials, maybe plexiglass. Also, I have another Blackstar 100W UFO on the way - it will replace the dual head.

whaaaaaah? another 100w led. i take it there about 45w actual draw or there about? thats some amount of light for a wee box mate. have you seen that done before? i admit i know absolutely nothing about micro growing and havent really seen many micro grows but that sounds like a lot to me. i know the rule is 50w per square foot but theres usually a lot more head room/volume involved. im subbing up for this one man itll be a good learning experience for me. i think if i had to micro grow, id do sog and hit up @912GreenSkell for some pointers on deliberate stunting. : )

ooh also mate. ive just realised you use magnets to hang your lights. again, i dont know much about electricity other than it hurts but will that not interfere with the power flow or anything like that? potentially very stupid question but ive never noticed anyone else do that before so im thinking there might be a reason why? again, just curious as i dont know mate : )

Hey great to meet you bud!! Take a look in the Dragon Meds category for a pair of journals i wrote...should be some great tips on keeping them stout for such limited vertical.

Yes, I've have seen it before with great results. The LEDs are 2W and should not burn the plants...I hope.. :smoking:

The magnets should not interfere with the electricity - it will be fine
