Alright. ... Qb's and heat sinks should be here tomorrow. Ordered a Hlg 320 c2800a for them. Supposed to ship tomorrow. Now trying to figure out if I want to run strips or go with the XPE HE line 3 stack diodes in multiple colors. Also got the a volt/amp/watt meter ordered for the light build. Thanks @Colanoscopy for the idea. Not sure who the credit goes to originally but I'll place it there. I Kinda like the idea of less Pcb on the walls of this fixture at the moment. Anyway should get back to cutting and mounting of the sinks and boards/ running some wires this weekend. Hope all is well will everyone!

Check these bad boys out! Outside ac inlet duct and outlet duct. you can use ac with CO2 with a AC! Works just like the re-circulation method on your cars AC. Kick ass. Need to order one for the Flower room and one for the 69 Apache tent trailer as a damn it's cold or damn it's hot backup

Kinda cool right? @ttystikk little under powered but just think of the main stream comps in the future poaching off this Tm. Gonna double, triple easy in a year

So Qb's and sinks got here today. I must confess my numbers on the toffer were off from the Heat sink side by 5/8 of a inch. Driver shipped today. Running a hlg320 2100a to start. goal was overbuilding it. Think it'll work more than fine for the breeding tent.
3 boards side by side are perfect for that toffer's size. 4 on the other hand forced me into fabrication mode. Got into the fixture redesign and fab this evening. Started the cut's and some corner sheet fab. I'll get her nailed and welded with posts tomorrow hopefully. If not sometime down the road soon. We have a nice south pulse coming through at the moment, so it just may be pushed off this weekend haha :-D Hope everyone's weekend will be and is awesome already!

Dude I'm loving this idea! The 5,000 Btuh will probably be just right for my setup, but if you need more I now see they've got a 10,000 Btuh unit and its just $100 more than the 5,000 Btuh!

Not a damn thing unfortunately. Gotta pay the state off after my ticket and the pup is eating like a horse. So I'm stalled for a bit. the Pi controller and code are done. Just gotta work a home based logic to adapt to a solar array. Kinda looking into straight DC to DC runs. Would save me cash on Inverters,

I was thinking that you could save a lot by having a DC to DC running straight off the solar panels and not doing batteries and timers for your veg, you would need to add some light for the hours that the lights were powered but it could be a good savings. You know more than I do on this but I am willing to try it with QB120s if someone told me what components I would need. BTW nice room and love the pup

He still needs a power controller to balance loads between his lights and a battery bank.

For sure! I have been toying with the straight DC run. I have some components for a AC conversion run already.But as Tty mentioned it's just another hole to venture into I honestly just haven't made up my mind on it. I'm laggin
Quick update. Scored another door it's in now. so panels next and we can move on in now and rock the insulation. What I've been building up lately.
Goji Og, Love Triangle, and Blood Orange X Genius Thai. I'm outta space.... and it's lame! I have way too much fire to run and cross asap. Goji up first- day 33
