    Onyx Grow Bloom vs Area 51 RW-150 Gorilla Glue #4 Grow

    Aai Captain. Your PAR meter; did you get the whole meter of just the sensor with multimeter?, also is yours calibrated for electronic light or sunlight. I just purchased the Apogee SQ-120 Sensor from rapidled which is calibrated from electronic lights, I will use it in my fish tanks also. I was...

    Hyroot's Garden

    I'm not sure how you get can proper test results from the light while getting crossover from the A51 and indagros. This light to me looks like a step backwards from what's already available from top companies. Just another alibaba light with inferior diodes and possibly assembled in the states...

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    I'm using a 60w 12v led driver (for signs) as a power supply to run 4x 3000 rpm fans, it also powers my two 5 volt regulated PWM circuits I made to control the speed of the 4-wire fans. I originally used a wall wart to power the fan on a pc heatsink with one CXA3070 at 1.4 amps. I came home from...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    6 @ 1400mA is good but I prefer 9 @ 1050mA for a 3x3, that works out to 1 cob per square foot which would definitely give you more even spread of photons and a bit of an efficiency boost. My tent is only 2x4 so I run 8 CXA3070 AB 3000k and drive them with 2x hlg-185h-c1050. I ordered a quantum...

    ^^^ Heres technical for you. :bigjoint: When I had originally posted that I could not see the pics in post #200 I was on a win7 machine running Firefox at a different location. I just checked on my android with Google Chrome and the CM11 browser. I then check my HTPC which runs #! (crunchbang)...

    DIY LED Grow Light Vero 18 (Economy light)

    Can anyone else see the pics in post #200? Can you see them if you log out? They would show up as thumbnails when signed out. I can see the pics in post #178 and the rest of your posts. I do sometimes have problems with pics I try to post and relink again in another post I can see them but...

    5th Official Party Cup Grow Competition

    For plug in table Vapes I can't stand anything that uses a bag or stores the vapor, I find it ruins the taste and gets stale after like 10-15 seconds like leaving smoke in a bong. I have tried the high end volcanos with remote and whip and it was OK but not worth the price. As soon as I tried...

    DiY LED Grow Lights with CREE CXA3070 COBs and CPU Coolers

    I haven't come across any 2700k 3070 yet (I haven't looked in a while), they are available in a 3050 and 3590 for sure though. The 3000k does a great job and I wouldn't hold out for the 2700k when the 3000k has proven results.

    That's not your regular camera, this is much better detail but it might just be too big when you look at it full size. The garden is looking good mc.

    DIY 80W vero 18 UFO killer

    I used #4-40 screws the same way you did without the nuts and they are working just fine. I was going to use the same holders that I saw positivity was using also but ended up making my own. I incorporated a "foot" into the holder so if I need to put them down I can do so without the COBs...

    Onyx Grow Bloom vs Area 51 RW-150 Gorilla Glue #4 Grow

    Accept no substitute! j/k, but they are awesome. :bigjoint: You could sell off the lights and do it. I sold off commercial panels to get most of the money for my 3070s and @mc130p sold off his newly rebuilt blackdog after getting some CXA's. I think the 80CRI 3070 3000k is more efficient...

    DiY LED - Cree CXA3070

    I had my heatsinks anodized for protection and durability but choose black to help dissipate heat better. They will last through years of upgrades if that's what I decide to do with them.

    ^^^^^^^^^^ I'm not sure about the Bridgelux but Cree recommends using Isopropanol to clean the surface of the COB. Maybe you can soak a q-tip and clean it out as the alcohol should help dissolve and remove the hard to get thermal grease.
