    Yeah, I agree at low currents, it's just scary, though, when you are new. Having a $8 safety switch takes so much weight off your shoulders. I was surprised by my new meanwell driver putting out 45% more watts than it was supposed to when I capped the dimming leads, and I burned out an LED...

    Problems with being unsure you will burn your shit out? Put these in series. They will pop once you hit 90C and you won't have to worry anymore. $8 for 5. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EDMKM72/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use 12 CXB3590s at 1050mA, with 4 per 36" 4.85"...

    Yup $14.5 for a 120mmW/70mmT killing 65 max watts. Rapid is $19 for a 140mmW/70mmT killing 80 max watts. What are you running your lights at?

    I'm always going to recommend RapidLED. Good customer service, fast shipping, good prices. Lowest on LEDs I've found, but I didn't comb the internet for cheaper pin heatsinks. I'm thinking it's still damn good pricing based on everything else, though. At the very least add it to your check list.

    I'm there with you. I just put a pound of butter and a pound of coconut oil in the freezer after processing a pound of male plants. All the little bits here and there that didn't make it into the next pan went in my mouth. Turns out, it'll get you high...

    That's great though! I sleep with a noise machine so every noise in the house or it doesn't wake me up.

    I mean, I just picked up kelp for minimizing shock. (cus I shocked the shit out of them during pot transfer) But I've heard some good things and some snake oil things about foliar sprays and would love to get a weigh in from experienced folks.

    YEahhhh, I know, but I really hate killing my babies... Also, these are random Nirvana genetics, so I don't know know what strain, so useless for breeding. Bleh. Though I'm clearly nowhere near the breeding stage yet, anyway. (Also, welcome back!)

    Ugh. Had to remove 3 males from my garden today. The other 5 are doing well, but the three biggest and the 2 smallest were the females. Bleh. On the plus side, I have temp control working very well in the 4x4.

    Mars 300 to Cree COB DIY hack. advice please.

    Running at 640mA, I believe the forward voltage is like 34ishV. So not enough room for another CXB, but definitely enough for other stuff. What's your fan need? And in general, the closer you are to the full voltage the more efficiently it runs, so I say push that envelope. And yeah, SupraSPL...

    It's nice that the amps on those drivers are juuuust under what you need for the extra spectrums. I'm interested in seeing how your blue/red addition compares to just leaving it all cobs. Did you read a thread that convinced you for adding those?
