And now I'm scared and concerned with heat thanks ballist : p
He's using 465w of Kind, that's 29w/sq ft. Aren't we assuming that's sufficient? I.e., I suspect he'll be disappointed with the results of that amount of *unknown* light. He could replace that intensity with 6 RW-75s.Oh please I'm not scaring anyone. Unless the kind led is less than 20% efficient and the a51 are better than 50% efficient there will be more heat in the tent. The guy is concerned with heat. Never forget the physics.
You really need a 6" inline on that flowering tent, sir. That's part of your heat problem right there, insufficient air exchange. A 6" inline fan can be had for $65 on eBay and will change your world. Then your 4" inline fan can live out its days peacefully venting the veg tent.I only have a 4" in line fan and trying to send it through two tents and 20 ft of duct between two rooms. Just enough to create vaccum on flower tent and blow out up the veg tent. The upstairs gets so hot during summer even with ac goin. And winter another 4" inline fan blowing fresh cold air tk keep temps down.
No, because the one that you're setting up in the bathroom, between the two rooms, is merely a booster fan at that point. It's too far away from the source to really have an impact on the cfm. My advice, ditch the ducting between the two rooms completely, and vent each tent independently. The excessive ducting is over complicating things and it's the reason that heat is building up in your tents. That heat build up is going to continue, no matter which lights you use, until you fix your air exchange issue. Running LED lights in high temperature environments drastically reduces their efficiency, effectiveness, and life span. If you're willing to spend the money for top notch LED lights, like Area 51, isn't worth $65 more to make sure that they're cooled right?I have 3 4" in like fans. Hooking one up right outside flower tent and one right in the middle of the two rooms in the bathroom. So two 172 cfm fans pulling from tent. Shouldn't that do it?
Well unless water misting against the lights is what burned them out Id say this was like this. See all the dead bulbs?Looks like there's some burned out bulbs already. Bout 4 or 5 like this. Hard to tell but they look out
Could they be 730nm LEDS? otherwise send it backWell unless water misting against the lights is what burned them out Id say this was like this. See all the dead bulbs?
No not necessarily, you can use the Ideal Chip-Lok Holders for Cree CXA's, which mounts the diode base to the heatsink, holding the cob and then has little clips for your + and - wire....[unless you have pre-drilled heatsinks, you usually have to tap and drill mounting holes for 2 pieces of hardware]been lookin into a diy cree, anyone know of a good kit for a 2x4? and you need a soldering iron to put it together right?
If you're buying the ventech fan, don't get the one that comes with a filter. The filter didn't work at all, I replaced with a phresh filter which works well. Also if you want a good fan speed controller, get a variac transformer. They work very well with these types of fans.Ok. When my 6" fan gets here im going to just about set it ontop of the hole on top of tent. Carbon filter is just below that. I'm also going to build a square frame out of 1/2" pvc to fit in tent. I want to make my own scrog that is adjustable by sliding the string of you want.
