Its alright man, you got this! You'll have those badass lights finished soon and experience to go with it. Yes you gotta do research and put in a lot of effort and stuff but that's part of moving away from being a consumer and becoming a producer.... just like everything you had to research...

I understand you want to use the old case, but putting a heatsink in there that'll fit it won't solve anything...you'd just have a brighter heat box than before. The 12×14 wil only be able to cool ~170watts actively. You could use that case/sink with different cobs and less watts in the future...

Wow that's real art for sure! You got that twisting down good man. How big was that plant height/width and how much did it yield? Mine look like they have a similar amount of nodes

Any updates?

How cool would it be to bring this cup to the BBQ? Cool thing is, it's 16oz :D

Mmmm, I'd go with the 5.8 x 36 as Greengenes suggested. Supra does not have the exact specs listed for the 12" profile, but it's pretty much the same surface area as the 10", with a little bit more. http://rollitup.org/t/heatsinks-for-diy-led-lamps.851907/ I'll show you my math- 5.8" x 36" =...

How about the contestants will be responsible for providing the winner(s) with prize

Good stuff man can't wait to see what you come up with. Hopefully you can use those sinks and save some money!

The warnings of all have came true. The kapton failed to keep one of the holders down secure and the connections came loose, resulting in a total fixture shutoff due to a series connection. It was the one problem holder/cob that I had in the initial build. She did not want to stay in her...

It's so perfect for LST. Cheap, reusable, and neat. Green too :D I got the idea from someone on the forums here, forgot who! Yes LST is great! It's really quick and you can shape it however you need. I'm experimenting with super cropping on some of the CSSH clones. It bushes them out really...

Got some of my party supplies today. I'm really feelin the Mickey :D Went ahead and bought a couple of extra cups to test my watering scheme on afghani freebies in the mean time. Never did 12/12 fs before let alone anything more than 1 full grow lololol. I love this challenge!

Thanks brotha :D The cob holders made it easy to connect them all in series. I have the wires that run from each cob to another ziptied to the aluminum channel to keep it somewhat tidy. The driver is outside of the tent to keep the heat out. I have received criticism for using kapton tape with...

I use only 4 CXB3070s in the exact same size tent. Same driver you posted, and I use CPU coolers. Also, no drilling into the heatsink for me. I just finished my first grow/ first run with the lights and they held through with kapton tape and arctic silver 5 thermal paste. All 4 coolers are...

Bonjour Cree XPE far red ran @350 ma. So .66 watts each. In the tent I have 3 emitters and each is covering a 12"x20" space. Seems to be working just fine. The CSSH clones that were under it finished just over a week faster than the mama. Emitters are ~12" above canopy. That closeness to the...

Took me 1.5 hours to: -Drill/tap new sinks -Quick sanding/alcohol rub -Kapton tape/connect solderless far red emitters -Remove tape and clean off arctic silver 5 from each cob (12) -Remove old crimp quick disconnects from each pico wire connector leads (24) -Spatula new AS5 on cobs, spread and...

I never looked too intensively at the previous comp threads... Ya'll are crazy! I'm so stoked for this. I will be popping either nirvana ak48 or female seeds c99. Sooo many ideas for watering the lil thing, kinda glad we got a month.

Flower Tent round two :D Here we have Super Lemon Haze on the left, CSSH mama in the middle, and Holy Grail 69 on the right. Took them out of the cab and out of the screen. LST is the bee's knees my friends. There's close to a dozen tops on each. Day 10 flower for SLH and HG, Day 2 for the...

Right on, thanks! Sooo I'm guessing a more blue spectrum since the plants I want don't really flower? I was looking at vero 18 5600k. I will try to find a dimmable driver just in case the ~28 watts is overkill. Shoot I might just do peppers too with a 4000k vero 18 chip or something. I've got...

Oh yeah. Count me in :D

Aloha! What kind of LED light intensity is required to grow some kitchen plants? I wish to grow out some cilantro/mint/basil/whatever I can really. I want to utilize the ceiling of my kitchen and our best friend COBs. I have little space so I came up with a hanging super container thing. I...
