JAWS Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 @Bugman not yet getting everything else done today and in the morning i'll get it hung. just finished chopping things down and getting the next round into the 5x5 tent, as well as getting the new can 66 set up in there. going to be putting up some pics here in just a minute of a few things, on Sunday i'm going to be up potting all the plants into ether one gallon or 2 litre bottles. going to get a 4inch fan today to place on top of the system for some extra airflow, not sure if its needed but what can it hurt. let me get these pics loaded up and then i'll post them out here. peace .. 4 Link to comment

oldschool Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 That fucking Diablo is going to be so bright compared that bulb you wont ever be able to look up in that tent again without going blind.It's going to be like a Nuclear reaction went off in that tent.Probaly have to double your fertalizer rate.I cant wait to see your initial reaction to the brightness of that light. 3 1 1 Link to comment

Yea my eyes hurt quick if I dont use my grow glases... Mounting fan? Cable straps lol I mount almost everything with them. Not pretty but cheap and effective. They are usually rated for 70lbs or so depending on kind. Good luck! 3 1 Link to comment

crownpoodle Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Besides working in print shops my whole life, I fished commercially. Having a bag of all sizes on the boat was essential. They work good fixing broken branches too. 2 1 Link to comment

Pot Boy Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 @JAWS Looking like a sweet setup bro! You are gonna love growing with LED the results are well worth the money. 3 1 Link to comment
JAWS Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 ok i see a couple issues with hanging this system. 1. the hook that supports the system to the top of the tent pole is way to small it will not open and hook. easy fix there i'm just going to use some larger "S" hooks and problem solved. i think the company should supply a couple of those in there packaging for0sure. 2. this is a bigger issue for me personally, with the pulling hooked to the hangers it's 23inches between the top of the tent and the top of the light. ahh ya that's just losing to much space for my needs/want's. now if i lose the pulling system it brings that down to 17inches which is better but still losing to much grow space. ahh not sure what i can do about that just yet but i will need to figure something out. for now starting off i can use the "S" hooks and the pulling system with no issues at all, but ya when the stretch is over i'm going to have figured something out. maybe luck will stay with me and i want need to do any of that and the plant's will stay with in reason and not force me to do anything. we shall see .. 1 Link to comment
oldschool Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I probaly cant explain this properly but here we go.You just take the cable that they give you and fold it in half.I dont hang from four corner's.I fold the cable in half and then connect that from corner to corner and hang from the middle of that cable.That light is powerful enough you will not need to move it.So get it as close as you can and leave it.If you look at my grow you can see how i fold the cables in half.Then i just hang from screwed in hook's. 4 2 2 Link to comment
JAWS Posted October 29, 2021 Author Share Posted October 29, 2021 ok so you only have two points of contact there, i understand the clasp to the hook but what part are you hooking to your system with only one point of contact, ahh may be your using 4 per light ?. i have an idea that gives me three points of contact and only 8 1/2 inches between the top of the system and the top of my tent. nice .. 3 1 Link to comment
oldschool Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 the clip's go in the left side two hanging holes.Then you have another one that goes in the right side holes.Then you use just the middle of the cable to hang from.Which would be just 2 hanging point's.It is the easiest way to knock 6/8 inches off your hanging height. 1 Link to comment
JAWS Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 still not clear but in the morning i will reread and see if i can figure out what your doing. humm .. 1 Link to comment

JAWS Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 @bugman weight is 42 pounds. ok so this morning with the hps bulb the temp was 85f now after being on for several hours the tent is now 70f, now i know i'm only on 25% still that's pretty nice. so i'm done for the day i had to stop a few hours ago because my back was killing me. getting things up potted but the rest will have to wait until morning, at that time i will put the system at the right distance and turn it up just a bit. it's very cool that i can take decent pics with out having to really do anything with my camera setting. peace .. 4 Link to comment
