    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Ha, yeah I hear ya, but I got rekt this weekend. 6 months of accumulating dbix down the drain. I tried to scalp a few more coins (it usually works fine for me) and right when I'm waiting for the btc tx to arrive at new location so I could rebuy dbix at a lower price, it started it's frigging...

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Good idea, I tried it, but no. Still doesn't come on. I hope I haven't been sent a faulty driver. Should that be making a noise when I turn it on? It's silent

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Hmm, so, I disconnected the dimmer switch and wrapped electricians tape around the ends coming from the driver and went around the cob connections and made sure all the wires were pushed in as far as they can go. Then the test, plug it in, but, no light. Oh yes, I'm in England

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    It's difficult getting a good picture. I don't have many tools and have literally very recently moved into a new space. I kinda hacked the frame together as best I could (with limited tools).

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Thanks man! I'll watch the video now. I just pushed the wires into the cob holders as far as I could. They should be sound. If not, and one or two weren't sound, would that cause all 4 lights not to come on? I'm kinda veering (blindly) onto the problem being the connections on the dimmer...

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Yes, it was kingbrite. The whole package was around $300. It included the 200W cree cob kit, x2 single 50W cobs, and shipping. I think I paid another £30 for customs

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    This a picture of the back of the dimmer switch. If you turned it around, and looked from the front side, you'd notice the left connection is empty. On one of Growmau5's videos he says the right side should be empty (when looking from the front). The dimmer switched came like this, with those...

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    I also bought x2 single cobs for a different grow closet (btw I'm a newbie grower). As seedlings, and just running 1 cob was burning my seedlings to bits. The cob was raised to 3ft away (my max space) and it still burned. I had to go buy a T5 and hope that would save them. The seedlings loved...

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Is your post saying I've attached mine the wrong way around? Another thing I've just noticed after rewatching one of Growmau5's videos. He says re dimmer switch, the blue wire (mine has a black sleeve around it) goes to the center of the dimmer switch and the brown wire (mine has a grey...

    Troubleshooting a new LED DIY build

    Hi all, I wondered if somebody wouldn't mind telling me if I've screwed up, or is there a problem with the items I've bought? I bought a DIY LED kit from AliBaba. It came with x4 Cree Cobs and a HLG-185H-C1400B I watched several Growmau5 Youtube videos, and several times each (I'm not much of...

    convince me led is worth it.

    It's all good, somebody saw my post here and answered in my other thread. It turns out I shouldn't be using any, I'm growing in a small space with not much height. Cheers for responding anyway.

    Newb grow room setup advice. Does this look good?

    Thank you so much for responding. I really appreciate it. I changed my mind since the thread was made and I'm now actually planning on putting two lights into each off the 3 sections, so 100W in each section. The plan is to scrog two plants in each section. The spaces are around 2x3 feet each...

    convince me led is worth it.

    Sorry to interrupt the thread :) I've not been able to get any Q's answered by creating my own... Anyhoo, I'm about to order some lights from Alibaba; X1 200w Cree cxb3590 3500k (inc 4 cobs + driver) and X2 single 50w lights with built in driver. Is there a difference when using a reflector or...

    Gorilla seedbank review

    I've used these once, my only time I've ever actually bought seeds. It's kind of a mixed review with ups and downs. Originally I purchased from the website using my bank card. Around 5/6 days later I received an email from them stating they couldn't process card payments for one reason or...

    Newb grow room setup advice. Does this look good?

    I should mention that the shelf in the taller cupboard for the veg plants will be just a few slats (maybe 5) of 2" x 1" wood. That should support the weight, and also allow for any excess light to fall onto the flowering plant below.

    Newb grow room setup advice. Does this look good?

    Hi y'all, I wondered if some of you wouldn't mind me giving me some thoughts on my planned for grow setup. I'm only looking to harvest one plant a month for personal use and to give some to friends. I'm not doing this to make a penny, but to self medicate as I know the benefits of the right...
