Indoor McB's Flash Seeds Grow: Chaze + Santa

[MrMcbud]

Seedlings have recovered from the LED stretch from the propagator,and are standing straight and strong under 64w mixed spectrum fluoro.
Noticed a tail poking out of another spongepot,there is hope for one other santa yet.
The other shows no signs of life whatsoever,rewatered and put back in the propagator.
Oddly the germ rate suits me fine,6X9l bags do NOT fit in 40X50

will be getting the 120mm fan to replace the broken finned one on the lightshield,well,maybe...
i have a bee in my bonnet after seeing a diy cooled hood...i feel a build coming on,Fan R30,sheet aluminium,R45....hmmm

Thanks VapedAs,much appreciated.
after the last reconfig from seedling+flower to seedling+veg+flower i have a million pinhole lightleaks and some dodgy 12v connections.
as mentioned the 2 currently under the hps(rhs) will be chopped this weekend(may leave the og kush another week)
once they move along to drying and curing i will redo flower cab(wiring,sisalation and lightshield)
once the sharksbreath,killingfieldsX chocolate rain and white rhino are transplanted to 20l's and moved outside i will redo the veg(cfl) cab(soo many fans and lights,soooo many wires).
may upgrade to 2X200w cool whites ,failing which strongly considering a 400w MH(i can get the ballasts cheap,possibly even free'ish)
This is what i am aiming for(props to Smokey McPot,inspirational DIY bro)

looking very sweet that setup mate i carnt wait for my testers to get here they have been re-posted so anyday now and new 400w hps espesialy for the Stitch test grow woohooo.
Ill check back soon see how ur getting along Si

 

[MrMcbud]

Moving to hps u will be impressed...once u get used to the temp increase that is.
I have a td800 spare that may be brought into play,a bit overkill tho.
Temps were 23-25'c early this morning before the sun really came out.
Summer is going to be a scorcher

 

[MrMcbud]

And now starts the boring part...the seedling week.
like watching paint dry...thc laden paint

DAY 6
Santa visibly smaller but healthy,2 of 3 seedlings failed to germ.
I have planted the failed beans in the santa pot,let nature decide.
In a week,If they havepopped so be it,if not i will germ the remaining 2,well hopefully(after postal crushing)
The Chaze...what can i say,amazing growth,strong and straight.
Did stretch slightly under the 64w but acclimatised nicely to the 250w mixed spectrum cfl.
Had their first full 2l flush to get everything rooted nicely and have been in the sun today.

 

[MrMcbud]

Photos have been transplanted into twenty litres today and moved outdoors, flowering ladies harvested.
Cab is only running 250w mode only until I replace the 12v fans

 

[MrMcbud]

Rough prototype of lightshield v1 has been completed.
will be tidy'ed up a bit and used while i build the proper one out of diamond pattern alu.

Happy days
The Santa seed that was planted after failed germ had broken soil in the pot
The older showing strange leaf growth and is substantially smaller than the chaze
