Looks Great Rolla, Turning out pretty swell,;) Think your close to GPW with that unitfarm?

or you can get a mars300, $70and put lenses in, ($6 )and have a 1450 par at 18inches. but is it the best light? What is the meesure stick for Best Light? GPW outcome?

OK, fair enough, It might fit my needs, might not, but Im in it now, no turning back. LOL. Enjoy the rest of your day.

realstyles, i didnt give any advice, or bad advice, I gave numbers listed in the sale ad. He started this man. U can go back over alllll my posts ever made here, Im not a bigmouth, I pat everyone on the back, and pick their brain. I never indicated i was a pro at any of this shit. The ad doesnt...

Man, all you had to say was, " Hey, hope it works out for ya, but dont expect the numbers to match what the ad says, they are misleading, but never know, you might be onto something" But instead, you come in here like Cyrus on "Trailer Park Boys" flashing your Guru badge tryn to belittle people...

Oh, and for the Guru YOU think you are, you should of put the Whole "lumen" shit to bed, because all Gurus know, Lumens means SHIT to begin with. But for some reason, Every single watt AND LUMEN Counts, lol. Fk Your Couch Nickle.

and your STILL comin at me man,? Really? I didnt claim to be a fkn expert, I did CLAIM that the numbers where probably fkn bullshit, I did Bring a fkn build idea under $250. The fkn ad said 45 lm per fkn diode, and 72x 45 is = 3240 PER fkn strip at 15w is 216 fkn lm per watt. Times 1440 diodes...

Im in the process of building my light, I spent a total of $150 so far. Any more expense will be aluminum Pricing, spray paint, Going to Lowes, Im looking at at least $80 for what I need. Going to call around tomorrow for better pricing for that... But as of now, Everything is ordered and on...

Thanks for the reply 714, Yeah, Looking like the best chance for success, lol.. It take mine 2 days to fill up, lil one like that one. I need 5 of them,lol.. Keep rollin man,

does the dehumidifier work better on the floor level???????? I just had to chop my sht down because of black mold lookin stuff. Had like 4 weeks to go,

right on, you can even clearly see the perlit nice and bright. the sun dont even do that good.

Morning man, LUSH is what i see, Looks great.

Thanks BGT, they were lacking anyways, lol.. Ill build this light, going back to Foxfarmoceanforest and Kindsoil, water only. in a 5gallon bucket, 1 plant, 1 lb. Getting a dehumidifier, maybe a 4x2 tent. moving location of tent. already destroyed, and ready for dumpster, time to move on...

OK, i gotcha now. Easypezy, Now, the bad news, I think i found black mold or something on the stems of 1 plant ( small container). Looks likeit to me, so im probably going to end up trashing this entire run. Will take pic later, and take a look under loop,

Humm, that makes sense. Very right about the coverage, thats moreless the reason im pushing forward with this project. 600 par across the spread isnt to bad, plus, the 3000k with prob help more for flower. I would like to also get some fullspectrum 380-840nm in there somehow. and adding...

couldnt you just hook up a step-up buck converter/regulator that you can adjust the voltage?

soooo, here is my problem. My current light, the Mars300 with my mods ( 4000k diodes and fullspect diodes) with lenses, is crushing this rig. Im callin it now. I dont think im going to even invest anymore into this plan. at 20inchs, my mars hits 1700 par, and 70,000 lux, Thats 3 times more...

ok, so, i hooked up 18, because 20 wont fit on the PS. 18pc- 298 watts--3.8amps-- 700 par at 20inch, 30,000 lux 15pc- 253 watts--3.37amps-- 550 par 20inch, 24,000 lux Mind u, i didnt really do this in a tent, I need to get more foil to complete it around for this testing. Ill tell you this...

ok, here is what i did. I hooked up 1, then 5. P/s plugged into power strip= 7 watts, -- .135amps 1 strip = 23.8 watts---0.378 amps 5 strip = 89 watts---1.31 amps 16.4 watts each strip .24 amps 1 strip .23 amps 5 strips Going to hook up 10 and see what it says, id imagine 2.43 amps, also...

Hey BGT, thanks man, your help is valuable brother. I could still hook up the switches with the Dc/Dc right? Im going to order all that sht today, so tryin to get things planned out. Not just throwing this together, its going to be nice, tidy, and clean looking as i can. Still need to order...
