Hey all
So... I want to build my own grow light as my country for some reason cannot get anything from amazon and/or ebay when it comes to electronics. So I am limited to the availability of what I can get here, and trust me, it's super limited.
Can i build a LED grow lamp using these LED strips? I figured blue (455-470nm) and red (620-630nm)

anything else i can add to make it better? please note that i cant order from amazon and ebay, I am sure I can still get 1 or 2 things extra depending on what it is. and can use this from seedling to harvest? i would like to build 2 lamps to produce cross lighting in case it's not enough. Grow space is 4ft x 4ft x 7ft.
the housing and cooling and what not is not an issue, i can source that no problem and build it myself, just the actual LED's needed I am at a complete stump.
regards
