Posted by Hydroponic Growlights on May 11, 2012

Getting closer to completing the giant DWC system for the hydroponic Atlantic Giant pumpkin. I hope the auto topoff system will be able to compete with the water consumption and evaporation of the reservoir. The auto topoff for the reservoir was made from parts from your local hardware store and was relatively inexpensive and easy to setup.

Inexpensive Hydroponic Grow Lights For Aquaponics Installation

Posted by Hydroponic Growlights on February 22, 2012

www.aquaponicbasics.blogspot.com Girdie is sleeping, so I have a quick chance to test a grow light constructed from some inexpensive highly reflective material and a shop light. The Aquaponic Basic Food Factory is being designed to be a complete system that can rapidly produce your favorite foods in weeks rather than months. Adding the best lighting system will be critical to achieving these results. However we also want to use efficient technologies that don’t consume a lot of electricity. Other considerations are to use the High Density Sodium Bulbs and the newer LED systems that are beginning to appear in the marketplace. These compact fluorescent bulbs used with a reflector like Mylar or Panda Paper looks promising. There are several options available. The bulbs is a T8 4′ 6500 Kalvin that simulates day light and encourages vegetative growth.

MORE CFL Grow Light Fixture Results in Hydroponics (Bell Peppers!)

Posted by Hydroponic Growlights on January 28, 2012

More results of my home-made DIY grow lights. If you’d like to share your construction variation or results, upload a photo at www.tinypic.com and send me the link. I’ll post it in the info box to share with everyone. I planted these Bell Peppers from seed on July 9th, 2009. I took this video on November 15th 2009. I started to get peppers at the end of September. I currently have about 15 peppers on the plants. The more I pollinate, the more peppers I get. It’s really a pepper machine! I’m using a mix of two 300 Watt, 2700k bulbs and two 200 Watt 6700k bulbs. I had 4 200 Watt 6700k bulbs at the start until flowers appeared. I had a few unused fluorescent bulbs that I added above them for a little extra kick. I’m convinced that these lights can handle anything you would want to grow since these are doing so well. Bell Peppers are going for .00-.50 USD each. This will pay for itself. I’m going to pollinate them more to see if I can max them out. I had no idea when I started them that they would get so big. They are doing twice as good as the ones I plant outside in the Summer. I’ll be experimenting with other vegetable and posting results as well as building a few new goodies.
