Flower tent LED build

Sooo......a couple people that help me financially came and hung out last night, helped me move my tents around a bit (the one with 3ea 20 gal pots is a bit heavy). Long story short, I'm getting a CO2 set up. I'll start another thread because this could be a project itself, just thought i'd mention it here as well. Looking to get a controller and bottle/diffuser set up for hopefully around $600....price not set in stone though, just a number thrown out by them. Thoughts? With 1240 Watts in one 4.5x4.5 flower tent (will be taking 2 SF1000's out to bring it to a measly 1040) I think i could use the CO2. The other flower tent will have 960Watts soon, but i'll be adding the far reds and some UV i think

I harvested 3 of the plants in the smaller flower tent with these lights. I just put a couple of the SF's on the last small girl in there while I attach the lights to a frame. No need for raising and lowering with this much power in this space.

If cost was the same i'd spread them out maybe a little, but I bet it will cost more. Let us know the price

idk I was really looking at a custom star based and have a few with dif specs if u get what I mean. one star would have two 295 diodes and a 300-310 a few of these and i want a few custom 360-450 nm based stars i would prob want 4 of the b stars and a whole bunch of the 360's-450's.

So you'd want 3-up triple diode stars then.

oops, I forgot, I wasn't going to even post anymore on my old threads, but I guess this one will likely keep going, and i'll use the other for my grows

Soooooo…...for those wondering, I think the UV strips gave everything seeds. There are seeds in the tops of all the flowers, and not a single sign of balls anywhere. It was not heat because temps (air and leaf surface) were actually pretty low. Environment would be considered better than my other grows. I think maybe 2 ft for this much UV is too close. For my next attempt I will have the UV at the top of the tent with the rest of the lights. I will not be using them again until a couple weeks before switching to 12/12, which is a ways away, maybe a month

Or use them for the last 4 weeks of 12/12?

For reals?!?! Like I was saying before, UV is supposed to be Introduced from the get-go to "harden-off" the plants exposure to it. But I wouldn't think seeds would result? Are these girls all clones you've been running a few times or new genetics?

new genetics for me, but all from different breeders

Well seeds can't happen without pollen. There's a banana somewhere in there. Whether it's from the UV or an outlying herm genetic that just very lightly expressed, there's a manner somewhere
