theres always more to learn, I should really put some time into educating myself about DIY LEDs . But I’m wanting it out a little longer, like I did with flat TVs .
The 1st one I seen was 10k now you can get a better one (same size) for 6-700 if that

Lol unless she was a bigger piece of shit total bitch tbh. I was the only option cuz we like a couple hundred feet away, and it's a g, not a zip. Funny story on that actually, she made a tray out of foil and that thing was sitting right, and I mean right over her power strip with water about to spill over the half inch rim onto it, dumb bitch almost set her house on fire. And part 2, the next day or day after, her parents found it and tossed it so no harm done on my part lmao.

Those people are so lovely. They have unlimited access to the internet and all the information contained within, yet somehow they manage to act unbelievably stupid. It even seems like they are trying hard to fuck things up. And then they chop off the buds too early and smoke them in an instant lmao :clap::shock:

Lol ikr, taking them off early is an exponential loss cuz those couple nugs fiended for could've grown into soda cans (extreme example but you know what I mean)

Ps I fixed her setup by moving POWER STRIP A FOOT OVER AND ABOVE like it wasn't that space limited and I can't stress this enough the water in that tray was at the very edge like a little longer and gravity would've bent that half inch tall side and made a waterfall right onto the strip with fan and lights and a bunch of trash which would've lit up from any small fire, I'll count the g I snagged as fire safety prevention lmao

May I answer your basic questions ? I'm running a diy panel myself.
Click to expand...
How can I out perform a DE 1000
With equal penetration in a 4x4
And come out on top $ wise in the end of its life, what happens when one diode burns up, now I gotta wrestle a huge light down with out hurting plants? (One man show) 15min for HPS bulb change .
HSP bulbs are cheap to replace every couple grows too. the medium cost more.
Bang for buck I just don’t think led is where it’s at right now,
What’s going to be out in two years?
When the cost of my build needs to last 5-7 year to equal it’s cost of have ran HPS.
Are theses light really lasting that long ?
I’ve never owned a car that long .

Im in the same boat and will be working on some

Mabey soon if it gets too hot. In the mid summer
Which its still not spring here yet lol

But i was thinkin of a strip build to supplement the gavita like turn my gavita down or run it for half the day and led the other half.

Or just build and led setup for stand alone use in summer time.

Ive got the basics sown but im not up to speed on a lot of it but i can build it with a parts list no probs.

Just dont know if i should get strips (Samsung f double row) or cobs or boards

Thats the thing
Im not concerned about their bulb life cause they do last forever but its how fast the tech moves
I dont wana drop 1-1500 on a light build just to have better leds come right out after it lol

But i do have my parts list to build an f strip setup that all the led guys say will equal or "outdo" hps

But i dont know i had bought into leds when the very first came out and it left a funny taste in my mouth lol
It would make plants frostier though i still use it to add extra color in my room

I have a jam room with a dehuey, ac, and a humidifier, baseboard digi heat. I put a grow tent in the closet in that room, and use it to dry my buds. all the controls are built in to those units, I do monitor rh in the tent though for funs.

Thats awesome! I am planning something like this in a portion of my un finished basement. Stays nice and cool down there (too cool actually) all year. Will need to seal up some things and get the equipment. Have been just using flower room to dry in the past but I am ready to have clones go into veg and the veg into flower as soon as the ones I have in flower are done so time to step up the drying game!

Not hating on diy but just to throw it out there viparspectra is a proven good brand and it's cheap by comparison for all the reputable brands I think the 1200w model 600 actual power draw is maybe 470 I think it does a 5x5 look it up amazon got all that shit

I am currently converting to LED, if you want to learn the basics look up growmau5's videos they are awesome. IMO COBs are the way to go and timber is where to get them!

I got a vipar for veg its meh had i known how easy the diy was i woulda gone that route for my veg and i still might

The vipar covers my little area ok and is doing well enough for the price

But i think strips would work better but i havent tried them personally either
