I've got a COB LED with strips and they are connected with magnets and when I was watering my plants last night I hit my head on the LED and one of the strips came off and hit the floor and put a dent/rip in the bottom of my tent, in the liner. I am kind of gutted about it. It's one of them expensive premium gorilla grow tents. With HPS and HID I've never ran into such problems
Yeah gotta keep the temps up with led for sure, my flower room is sealed and has its own ac an dehu, but my veg area uses the same air as the rest of the house. Since its in a basement it gets into the low/mid 70's sometimes and the plants under cmh still do okay but the ones under led's grow really slowly. Like to the point its a problem and I have to set the trellis nets lower in the flower room for trays that vegged out under led's vs the ones that were under cmh. Its especially interesting because the ppfd is considerably higher under led's, roughly 100-150 umols on average so you would think they would be growing faster, but no. When it stays around 70-72 down there for a week or so plants under led's will really look shitty, yellowing on top leaves, purple stems ect. I just got a 4x8 gorilla tent last week that I am setting up in part of the veg area for a little pheno hunt, I would be sick if I ripped it for what they cost, that really sucks man. I would try some of that Mylar hvac tape to patch the hole, although I think gorilla might offer a patch kit. Not sure about that though, just something I heard somewhere.
