It should stretch, typically week 3-5, looks like its getting ready too though 
, but its roots have probably stayed small being right beside the tree.

Im gonna say 170g, think you are all over estimating ;), would be ridiculous if i got that much in the end.
But im gonna have to find some jars, or just do one big jar.

Started a new thread for the second half of the year, lets move discussion over to the new thread and hopefully leave this as the last post apart from maybe a final weight picture.
heres the new thread

have you considered keeping the root zone in a separate, lower section? the additional volume at even the same height has your pots might be worth it(?)… and another thing 
what about (alternatively) using shorter, wider pots like mini kiddie pools, or even a shallow bed?
i’m pretty sure you’re aware of how closely Bonsai maintenance parallels to your Besta setup, and that’s a great example of a small container, mature plant scenario.
eh?

Hey there @Mr.Sparkle ,certainly enjoying the read of your adventures
A quick question about the CS spaying, when did you stop spraying the plant, after noticing the pollen sacks starting, or do you continue for a while afterwards ???
I have only tried this once before and the plant died on me, probably stressed it to much, or the solution was too strong.
Cheers Johnny

I have just had a look for the cheapest lighting LED lighting I can get from Ebay and they say they have 2835 chips in it. They are 50W and run on 220V and I am fine with lower efficiency, it’s only for veg. The image shows them covered in water so I guess they can be used outside also.
Did a search and “2835” is not mentioned a lot on the forum.
I will check the thread and see how the plants liked it.

I never got around to populating those boards… as I realized several design flaws with my PCB after I had them made. Most notably, I did not get Aluminum backed PCB. Heat would have killed the efficiency, I did not design them with easy multi point connections in mind, (Ie like the solstrips push fit connectors) and I’m fairly certain my Vias were too small for optimum Tj at the diodes.
I’m still interested in them, they are toted as the budget 561’s and they aren’t too terribly spec’d for price per diode.
