The idea was to build a stealth pc to start clones or seedlings, then I got carried away and wanted to see just how well a few things work to the end of a plants life cycle.
those things are:
1. The lights (Philips 13w LED's)
2. The SWC (Shallow water culture)
3.The smell (DIY carbon filter)
The lights each put out 1500 lumens, x3 = 4500, i may double this to 6 lights for flowering depending on heat control. 9000 just seems much closer to the 10,000 lumens wanted for flowering... unless it turns into a toaster...
The Shallow water culture may be the issues for flowering, if the plant drinks more than the tub can hold before I can refill it, or it may not have enough buffer room and the pH may drop harshly in late flowering.
The DIY carbon filter is powered by 2 pc fans and push air through three layers of activated carbon squished between carbon filters... hope it works enough for one plant
