man tshirt you got some amazing things in mind cant wait to see it all put into action

Thanks for the kind words. Seems lately like my thread kinda died as far as viewers input. Designing and redesigning grow spaces for efficiency is extremely taxing work. Last night alone I spent 3 hours designing different systems to properly secure the lights to the bracket on the light mover only to realize today a much better solution while I was answering emails at work lol. I went from a 5phase system that was going to cost like 50-60 bucks to a 2 item system that will cost me roughly 7-10 dollars and will be more stable. If anyone has growspace design problems I have an actual engineering and light optics background. I've also worked for major semiconductor companies. I promise I don't bite AFN. You guys can feel free to bring opinions problems and designs in here so we can all enjoy learning. I also design temporary solutions like male containment grow areas. Let's drop some knowledge on this site!!!!!
 
sounds good i know who to come to if i can ever get enough space to get out of my little gl60 :)
 
dont knock it killa i used to rock a grow tent as my only grow space! i loved my tent but that closet setup is gonna be AWESOME. Got the lumber from homedepot today and will get my fasteners and a custom cut 1/8" thick cold rolled steel plate for my bracket. then i gotta take it all over to my buddy's house to drill. then i will run test trials with it. watering later today so look for pics. just got my code for the new call of duty maps so im gonna go have some fun for a bit before i get to work.
 
yah tshirt i hear ya i do like the tent its nice having a room inside a room everythings kept clean and out of view. jealous of u about those new maps i play it on the pc and they aint come out yet

The only really good map so far is the golf course one. Gotta play zombies with people that are not garbage before I comment on that new map.
 
Great thread TshirtNinja, am currently pondering purchasing an LED board to work with my CFL's, great info here on your thread. Can't wait to see some more photos of your current grow. Question: Vegetative and flowering with respect to using LED's how does it work? Are we talking about buying two different types of boards with different lights (blue v red etc) or can you use the same board from seed to harvest with autos?

With autos there is so little time between germination and sexing that I don't even bother with a "vegetative" board. That whole notion in general with led's is a crock of you know what...... I know some other blackstar users on different forums rocking the flowering models for photo groups too with no yield drops from "improper vegetative lighting". And any led company that uses switchable spectrum's is garbage. That is a snake oil tactic. Think about it..... Why would I want to turn off 1/2 of my available leds in the panel just for the sake of spectrum changes? I'd rather have twice the power output and worry about the wavelengths later. Also don't pay extra for upgrades such as "finned heatsinks". These are all snake oil tactics to strip you of your hard earned cash. I think a LED/CFL combo is perfect for beginners with the CFL being strictly side lighting. The mover I will be using will side light them as they pass, but I might still install stationary cfl bulbs at different parts of the garden for side lighting. Was thinking of doing it in a basic 4 corners style that way the edge plants get plenty of light as well. Just remember that your start up costs are higher than HID systems but you will gain the following..... Increased PAR per watt output vs HID, a substantial decrease in heat, and overall a more regulated lighting pattern than HID. Just remember that the wattage most companies list are the max power not drawn wattage. The drawn power unless specified by the manufacture is approx 45% of the max power due to half ran leds and resistance from the led driver and the power source. I think every lighting system has its place and LED is FANTASTIC with auto's since they tend to be so short. Once you get plants over 3-4ft tall I would abandon leds for a plasma induction system instead of the wasteful HID's on the market.
 
Alright fellow grow masters here are pictures from 2 days ago!







The first shows my BHD looking fat! Second photo is the main cola. The third is what all the side buds look like..... MONSTERS!!!!!



Here are my PJ's at 43 days old.







The first is a closeup of the onyx female that i trimmed up and gave up for seeds! Second are the two branches that I dusted with PJ pollen and marked with bread ties and covered with a bag. Third shot shows you why as I have a onyx male in there to make it rain on my sexy female.
MAKE IT RAIN!!!!!

I am pleased with the work done so far. I will be spraying that onyx with water and placing her back in the closet either today or tomorrow. I think I am lazy and will get some food and watch the new episode of weeds that I just downloaded.
 
hell yeah bro nice

weeds yeah seen it live on stream link 2 days ago if u wanna see it first ill show u the link
 
I'm loving it man, You got theLED thing down brother:thumbs:

Myself I am an HID grower and will always be, If I used LED's it would be for a smaller more stealth grow...
I would love to do a full LED grow but the room I have to light is 4'W x 7'L x 6'H so with HID's I can fill the room with light and plants with a pretty low added electricity cost...

If I did do a small stealth LED grow, Could you recommend me a strong LED spotlight?
