nice setup. I have the 2x4 sunhut and it measures about 3.1x4.9 feet so it's more like a 3x5 than a 2x4. Love those tents. They comfortably fit whatever size hydro tray their size states they are. Which is awesome because I've had 4x4 tents that don't fit 4x4 trays due to the extra couple inches some of them have.

Lol you act like oversized tents are a coincidence.

Trays sizes are usually measured from inside, so sides and lips are extra. The rating on the tents is designed to reflect and accommodate this industry convention.

No I am saying that a lot of companies put out their tents exactly to spec, which makes it so oversized trays don't fit. And not all tray are measured from the inside. If I recall the cheaper botanicare black trays are differently proportioned than the white ones.

Also most tents are not as oversized as the sun huts which give you about an extra foot in both length and width.

Yeah I had an issue at one point thinking 2 black 4x4 botanicare trays would fit in a 4x8 generic tent from my local hydro store. Not the case, ended up almost ripping the tent. Swapped to the white ones, no problem at all. My sunhut 2x4 fits any 2x4 tray plus 2 5 gallon buckets for dwc, and still has room to work around everything. Will continue to buy sunhuts as long as they keep making them. And for less than a bill for the xl 4x4 model you really can't lose.

You're absolutely right, so it pays to be sure about your measurements.

Whats Up My Led Hommies. I've Been Busy In Da Grow Room Getting The Tent Setup For Cob Growing. I Got My Clamps In Yesterday And I Managed To Get 2 Light Bars Fitted With Reflectors Before Lights On And I Also Extended The Power Cord So I Could Put My Electrical Strip On The Ceiling. I Will Finish Up The 3rd Light Bar Today. :weed:

Hey Hey Check It Out And Don't Go All OMFG On Me. You See In My Research I Came To The Conclusion That While Cree Had Some What Better Numbers(Debatable) They Were In Fact Very Fragile. While Their Counterparts The Vero Series By Bridgelux Were Well A Bulldog. Hell Throw'em Against The Wall Apply Some TIM And Power That Biotch Up. My Question Is Would You Get Away With Abusing Your Cree. Damn My Bridgelux Vero29's Are Not Only Sexy Their Tough As Nails Too :hump::weed::hug::hump:

Thank you brother and I like the way they evenly distribute my light patteren. The 860 number is directly under my led and the 830 number is exactly in the center of 2 bars and the 400 number which to me is the most impressive is at 8 inches off center from the edge of my bar. These mesurements were taken at 17 inches above my canopy :hump:

I have been dealing with the same thing, but on a bigger COB. The Luna 300 is a beast, while the CLU550 is so fradile. I am hoping I didn't ruin my first one, overheating while soldering. Delaminated the contact pad with to much heat. I had to use some 2 part apoxy to lock it in place.
Great looking room Dawg. Since you have a meter, try checking your #'s with the outer 2 bars out more, with a little inward tilt. I'll bet you could get the outer #'s into the 700's without losing your 800 Center.

I Hear Ya Brother Not All Are Gentle When We Work. I Had A Drill Bit Slip And I Thought I had Caught And Fixed The Issue However After All Was Said And Done I Found 2 More And I Was As Careful As I Could Be And All Worked Out. I Show My Fuck-Ups Just As Well As My Successes.

I've Been Eyeballing Those Luna's My Damnself :hump:
