Nice job on the light Amy. Nice and clean. Going to brighten your life with that.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Thanks @Doc Bud ! QB’s all the way for me now Between them and the DBHBB I’m feeling pretty snobbish right now ... just imagine how bad that could get if I actually grow something with them

After seeing what you did outside I'm sure you will live up to the expectations of your setup!

Im a little late but I will take a seat in the corner and watch the journey. I built my own lights as well and it took me quite a while to get done as well. Your light looks a lot nicer than mine do but hey mine get the job done. i am sure you will love yours.

Nice light. One minor addition I would consider is a cord of length to place the ballast outside the tent if your ever worried about heat during a few special months of the year.

Or it might not be an issue. My ballast is on frame as well, but when I get new connectors I will move it outside.

DIY indoor sun! Building the frame...

I’ve earned a toke... ... aaah better

Great days to y’all.

Fantastic pictorial.
Those toes those toes...

Nice lights too

Nice work Amy, well planned and executed. Building your own stuff is always rewarding, I am always doing it myself, not always because of cost, but for the satisfaction of a job well done and done well. Hats off to you.

I'm going to take a seat and watch. I'm very interested in doc's kit.

Hey Yeti! I’m glad you could join us! Yay for diy.
It’s funny actually, if I had built this 3 years ago while still fully able bodied, it would’ve been rougher looking because I’d have just screwed it all together fast. Because I couldn’t do that, I had to treat it like making myself a kit that I could assemble easily buy hand ... this really helps the good looks

Yes - I thought about that. But mainly because I am guaranteed to have earthed the frame by putting the driver on it and being a first time builder of a light (I’ve built cabins and wired audio but I’ve never built an electrical device), I decided to play it safe. I don’t think this is going to get too hot...

Fantastic pictorial.

Nice lights too

Stage in the house ... yep my toes are often out n about ... Have I welcomed you already fine sir? It’s moving fast and I’m not keeping track! In any case glad to have you along

Cheers Jax! Big to you too. Thanks for joining in... quite a party we got ‘ere

All right all right, peanut gallery settle down back there!!! oh wait! Food and weed did you speak? Sorry, as you were... thanks

Very impressive Amy, I love your detailed pictorials. One day I'll go down the DIY hole, I love the new tech. My lights are new enough that it would be kinda stupid to ditch them now. Hopefully you have a new baby up soon.

 

[Amy Gardner]

Cheers @neikodog

Say, what’s your practice with germination? Do you have the light on before the seed breaks the soil?

There are differing schools of thought on this...

I learned everything I know about growing from Doc basically so yes I have the light on. I soak the seed about 24 hours then put into a 1 gallon pot with a pinch of roots! powder. I germinate under a T5 that is lowered to about 10-12 inches above the soil. I put the 1 gallon on a seed heat mat until the seed breaks ground which is usually 2-5 days after sowing it.

.........cheerz...h00k...

 

[Amy Gardner]

On it



Wrecked from getting it going. Vaped some indica ... nighty night

Oh but first, I nearly forgot this!

Great start, look at you go Amy! You are using steel or aluminum? Looks like extruded aluminum but maybe Australian metal looks different

Looking forward to your finished DIY LED panel.

Peace
Keith

Yep - shoulda said The angle is all aluminium, the bolts are all stainless steel.

.........cheerz...h00k...

h00k! and thank you that’ll really finish me off
I’m on route to bed, it’s late here (for me), and I fasted all day since last nights dinner... time to shut down. Make yourself at home dr.

 

[DrDoob]

Wow, that frame came out awesome. That looks as pro as it gets.

It’s really coming together, your research and attention to the details is amazing and will be the key to your success. I feel excited for you, now tell that seed it’s time to grow!
