Those $5 Samsung strips would probably work? If any left in stock at arrow. SL-B8V7N90L1WW

I don’t think anyone here is going to tell you that whatcha doing is right or a smart idea but if you do it please share the hazardous results with the rest of us... (also seriously don’t do it is so dangerous)

also if I’m wrong please Correct me because I would love to get more efficiency out of these cheap ass strips. So I think you are accounting for 100% on the driver When we should be looking at about 93% on Efficiency. I’m getting 20 at .25 amps 11.7 watts each, for 171.7 lm/w at the board. after...

So I am planning on running 20 at either 240 or 320 watts without heatsink, maybe think about acquiring another 20 and run them without heat sinks, should give you a higher lm/w and higher efficiency. I think when I used the Samsung strip calculator it was somewhere between 150-160 lm/w with 20...

hlg 135 kit would be perfect for that. You could use megacrop, it’s great one part nutrient and it’s cheap but helps produces great buds. I would use 6 1 gallon pots in a tent that size and just sog the sucker. Bigger is nicer but depends upon your space and what you can afford. better option...

how much do you want to spend? because i would check out https://horticulturelightinggroup.com/

Yes so your looking at between 30-40 watts per sq ft with quality led.

Hlg lights would be perfect for you qb132 or qb96 or do a strip build with those $5 strips from arrow

I will go with its a send hybrid one so he can compare them, IE put your money where your mouth is.

link?

@Stephenj37826 How close do you think we will be able to get the plants to your future rack lights? Thanks!

yes any 48v driver will work. i wouldnt run the boards lower then .3 amp per, ive been playing around with the calculator alot, and that seems to be the almost maximum lm/w you can milk out of them

What kind of wattage can I use with the https://www.arrow.com/en/products/sl-b8v7n90l1ww/samsung-electronics if I use the flat side of aluminum 80/20

thanks I saw those suckers earlier in the other forum, what does the efficiency of those compare to say the q series, I was thinking about grabbing 100+ of those for almost $7 a pop Also kind of blows with the tariff fees for the SL-B8V7N90L1WW Also you cost me $150 for 20 lol.

Thanks, I’ll make a grow journal out of it all, hopefully by this winter

Yes I planned on hunting through a bunch of seeds I got for 420 hopefully in the next few months, I’ll find something that will stay give me what I want

I was thinking about 24 inches would be the maximum I would allow them to get, I am going to try to squeeze some more height out of the system with drain to waste. And square floraflex 1 gal pots, from clone to 12/12. I’m thinking I could get at most 36” of vertical space with this setup, and...

I have been wanting to try this out for a while mainly as a way to maximize smaller spaces. I was thinking about the most cost effective way to run this setup, my area is 2x4x5, so i was thinking of using 30 single row 2 ft q strips run at 240 watts, with 4 rows of 660nm, run at 60 watts, or...

Thanks, i kind of assumed that. I guess what i was getting at is a % increase of how much each 1 umol, .1 umol .01 umol was worth.

More f strips driven at less watts, no need for heatsinks with more strips. But hlg quantum boards are as Easy as it gets
