Lighting WWWillie and the Electric Sky

[trailanimal]

Wowweee nice shot. Way to angle the lights!! I like angling them towards or away from plants to make sure the light intensity is on point, glad you're doing that with the ES300's

looks awesome!

Hey Now!

Thanks man! Much appreciated. Yes the tilting is so easy, kudos on the elegant hanging system , it really rocks. The steel cable looks sharp too. But really the ease of handling it brings to these big lights is truly remarkable. It would seem such a small thing but it makes a huge difference for the user.

Cooling is an issue again. 255 watts of COB was pushing it but 600 watts of these panels pushed me over my current set up. Nothing that is a real problem or even an issue just need to re-think. No where near what the HID lights put out so whew!

What I have done so far is to open the top two ports in the tent for,passive flow. I added two 5 in. fans, one on top of each light blowing across the heatsinks. That cooled the lights nicely. They can run hotter but like the COBs a little breeze is all it takes and they run just a bit hot to the touch. That’s what I always shot for with my amps even the class A jobs.
I got a new carbon canister and fan. I usually have the fan at the top of the tent but the lights need that space now so I’ll put them in a rear corner. With the top ports open I should pull air down and out with this. Hope so anyway. We’ll see. I have my trusty Pulse Nano to guide me here.

I lowered both units by six inches just now. Want to get them to optimum distance quickly. Boy I think the flowers got fatter overnight!

fatter overnight!, sweet music

Hey Now!
Wowzers! Thanks for tagging along youse guys!

Oh boy it’s on now. I’ve got my two ES-300s up and running in my 4x4 with a Mephisto AVT Special pheno. She’s in a 5 gal felt pot filled with NFTG [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] soil mixed 3:1 with perlite. She is currently using NFTG Roman Regimen along with slf-100, assorted benes like Mammoth P, etc.

Here they are. A wide angle shot to give you an idea.

And a close up just cause. A bit fuzzy but then again so was I when I took it.

Dam she is gonna be HUGE nice work looks like it's will be a amazing auto grow I just finished 10 autos and my biggest harvest from one of the was 11ozs dried and cured, waiting on my other big one to finish drying and curing in Turkey bags. Currently a dehumidifier and temps at 73/ Rh 40%

Hey Now!
Dialing things in. It takes a good bit of work, tinkering, and thinking to get it there, but nothing is easy and the results will definitely prove worth it!
Going from HID to the COBs was easy and required little in the way of modification to my environment. Going with the ES-300 is taking a bit of doing. They are large and produce a fair amount of heat.
I have a small room in the basement it has three growing spaces in it not including the cloner, two 4x4 tents and a 2x4x2 space under my bench. Trying to balance the environment is a challenge to say the least.
I am using my Pulse Nano to guide me. I am becoming dependent on this tool BTW. I’m getting close too, right now I cannot get enough humidity to match the temps. But I am closer so I think I am good for now.

She’s really getting big and the buds are packing on the weight!

Edit: I did not see how covered in trichomes she is. Wow wow wow!!!

Looking good willie! I like having the tent exhaust come out of the top of the tent if you can swing that and hang the carbon filter up there. Another thing I like doing to keep humidity up is point the exhaust port back into the "intake" mesh ports of the tent which helps keep the humidity inside. I'm sure you'll figure it out, those are a couple things that I like doing in setups that work for me.

That pulse is cool!!

Hey,
Thanks man, appreciate it. If I can run two 600 - 1000 watt HID I can get these handled.
I have to say these lights are truly amazing. Magic almost...

Hers today’s pictures. I am working on a whole room solution to my temp, Rh, VPD thing. Getting closer too.

Hey Now,
Has it really been over a week?! Yow, sorry ‘bout that. It’s been a good week though, I finally have the tent under control with temps but Rh is still elusive. I have a good idea about it though and feel confident I can get it right. With my [HASHTAG]#Pulse[/HASHTAG] Nano I know I will.

I love these lights.

Here’s some pictures.
