What brand of carbon filter do you use?Couldn't wait, so it was installed.
This is replacing a 400watt HPS.
The lightless tent.
The new light in its new home.
Sorry for the delay, went on vacation. Ouray Colorado, wow...What brand of carbon filter do you use?
Looking good. The COB's will make the plants feed more aggressively, so aside from getting used to distance from canopy you will need to watch the plants for signs of what they want feed wise, they will be eating more.The new light has been running for a few days, the plants are showing a bit of "too much light".
I thought I ordered the meanwell driver with the internal pot.
I didn't.
Got the one that requires me to supply one. No biggie, as the light runs without, just at full power.
The light is 2 feet from the plants now.
I need to turn the light down for a "getting used to it" stage. It is the new growth showing the not so green thing.
This morning.
They lol beautiful to me. New growth is always lighter greenThe new light has been running for a few days, the plants are showing a bit of "too much light".

Hello Sativied,- 1.8" color display with ambient temp, humidity, current time, cob temps, light intensity, fan speed, veg/flower mode, manual override on/off.
- sensors to collect the above data
- an SD slot with card to which the above data is logged (once I buy a working sd card anyway...)
- remote control (on/off, fan +/-, light +/-, LCD on/off, flower/veg schedule)
- usb connection for software updates
- adaptive fan cooling (boost/dim fans based on heat sink temp and light intensity)
- soft start and soft end for x minutes
- timer and relay for lights on/off schedule
- 296watt (so far...) when running at 100%, including light, brain, and fans if fully on. Roughly 700ppf, 51%eff in flower mode.
- square-ish light footprint
- refelective walls
- some wiring.

Still missing a few pieces (osrams) and features (canopy temp sensor) but had plants in veg too long already so started using it and currently flowering original hindu kush, panama, panama x silver haze and PCK x silver haze. Thus from pure sativa to pure kush and afghanixhaze. Should have some led buds in a couple of months...
Maybe a dumb question, but what is the point of the LPH model in there?
Maybe he is running some mono's?Maybe a dumb question, but what is the point of the LPH model in there?
Hey Malo,Hello Sativied,
sounds mega nice, with all that features
Please share more about this fixture as soon you can, im pretty interested. You make a growthread with that fixture?
What kind of osram do you will use? Do you use cobs too?share more details please if you have mood and time
how work that "brain"? via arduino?
greetings Malo
Yes, arduino with datalogger shield (which has a handy prototype area for resistors, transistors etc). Barely fits on a Uno in terms of connections and memory, ended up controlling all fans with one pwm (they all get roughly equally warm anyway).how work that "brain"? via arduino?
BJB holders, tape (holders for now, not the cobs), cobs, and a digital temp sensor with more tape.So.... What is under those heat sinks??? @Sativied
China cobs, eh?Hey Malo,
I have a thread elsewhere where I log all my grows although I've been a bit slow on updating it too. Google knows where. As for osrams, the ones you pointed out. Probably about 10% of total wattage, just to create a small 660 peak.

Some of the plants (hindu kush and panama clone) were already in transition for a few weeks, under an old 400watt mh on 4x4'. They've been under led for nearly 10 days now.
Panama
pure Hindu Kush (partly seeded, pollinated with PCK)
Panama x Silver Haze below. Both very stretchy yet high yielding varieties, vegged under 400w mh too low intensity for too long which caused them to stretch even more. Didn't feel like going to 600w hps for a week while I finished the brain. Fortunately I got 8 feet in height.
Yes, flat leaves. Only downside so far is that I have to turn my exhaust down too far to keep temps ideal which causes the humidity to raise a lot. That has a lot to do with my closet being unnecessary tall/large now an crappy high humidity outside though. Will fix that soon, the former that is.
My favorite, leaning more to afghanica parentage of silver haze in terms of structure, great for cropping too.
This run is mostly to check some crosses and includes a handful of males. I may use some clones of the best and do a quantity run after this one.
Most recent pic of the lcd I could find. I measured actual rpm of each fan at first but takes 4 extra wires and since I set the fan speed I already know how fast in % it runs, and they all run as fast. It's still a working in progress, still waiting on a few sensors (IR contact less temp sensor to calibrate the others, as well as measure average canopy temp). Sensor for humidity and ambient temp is hanging below the light at canopy level. The fans on the heat sink create an upward wind below the light skewing the results a little, need calibrate that. Values below are with light on 20% and just for minutes.
I use a remote like this one (an old TV remote would do too)
Dimmed to 30% or so:
May we ask which COB Model/Kelvin Temp you decided to go with?Too subtle I guess, it's not really blurple.
It's very easy to set up with the Meanwell drivers that support the 3-1 dimming. See one of the last posts in the 3-1 dimming thread in this forum (link). Could use an arduino nano and keep it small. To automate it you need to add an RTC module (is in my case in the datalogger shield), and a relay if you want to turn it off/on completely.Need more details on that brain,im specifically interested in the sunrise/sunset feature for my stuff so it will line up with all my gavitas
