i dont have a tent or light so i made diy growlights from reflective duckt and made a folding reflective wall will it work like a grow tent?

[greenbasterd]

I use 3x100w spiderfarmer quantum boards in the smallest tent 120x120, and 1x750w migro aray 5x5 in my biggest tent 240x240. Working good.

But I only grow fruits like tomato and peppers but still its very interesting to discuss with everyone growing.

right on! I have few carolina reaper pepper plants growing aswell. peppers/tomatoes are really fun to grow

If you read the post, its obvious Mars clearly explains its 'equivilent' to a 1000w hps and uses 150w.

But it doesn't come close to a 1000w hps.

I recommend building you own hlg fixture with a dual slate and two of there new qb272 boards and a hlg-150h-54b so it’s dimmable. All you need is a trip to home depo or order online your length of 14-18guage wire I used extension cord from a hardware store 1.50 a foot or something. Some three way wago connectiors and wire strippers.I built both my first lights ever and they work great with help from hlg and many community members!
I have dual Diablo qb648 fixture powered buy the hlg-320h-c2100 but need to swap it out so it runs at it’s true 320watts but I plan to add a third qb648 for better coverage

I have sense swapped the none dimmable driver for the hlg-150h-54b!!


flower is a 32”x5’ and veg is 32”x32”

You're a clever , resourceful, innovative stoner dude ! Are you using a tent (filters )to control odor ?

ya im going to get a 8 bar light for next grow! but autos they are doing surprisingly well for my rigged up lights

 

[greenbasterd]

I can't imagine growing in a tent . I do realize that some people have to , but what a pain in the ass . I'm spoiled , I've always had a shit-ton of room for growing. The reflective wall is a great touch .

 

[SnidleyBluntash]

Depends, do you need a tent?

 

[amneziaHaze]

where are they getting 1000w output from? and where does it go if it's rlly all about what your drawing from outlet? don't make sence but I will downsize how many pots I have then I geuss

you know those old lightbulbs that everybody had.well now every led lamp compares it self to that.you will buy a cfl thats 7W but it will glow the same as that old one 100W

update. cheap home made set up worked wonderful.

 

[tstick]

Wow! Very admirable results so far! Good job! Initially, I thought your setup looked pretty out-of-pocket, but you seem to have a green thumb!

 

[CraigMk]

I remember you start this thread at the start, I was sceptical at 1st.

You have well and truly proved me and alot on here wrong as you have smashed this out the park with a basic set up.

Some with all the gadgets and latest tech dont get results like you..

Fair play.

Update with the yield when she's done
