Sounds like you don't need a chiller.

This is an evolving plan but I'm trying to get things narrowed down now so that I can pull the trigger. I don't know where the UVA/UVB cutoff is off the top of my head. I think I want to stay away from UVB. That being said, I am open to sprinkling in another UVA spectrum or two on those two...

This is the layout I'm thinking of:

Does that sound like a good combination?

There's one on the ZGE-285-DXP-Custom page in the list of available selections.

I'll be in touch. I think that would work great, separate channels. 4 of those. Then 2 more but with half 365nm and half 385nm UVA on each, single channel.

The bulkhead fittings are part of what make this style expensive. They are proud of those things. But if you're going to build it right, that's the way to go. My 4 bucket setup with res top off kit shipped from Gary's (PA Hydroponics for the search engines) yesterday.

Cutter is a new source for me. I haven't had time to go through all of their stuff. I figured something custom would be a minimum XX order requirement so I disregarded it. Guess I'll give them a call and look further. Thanks. How many extra LEDs do you recommend for each FR and RB spectrum...

I'll check those out, thanks.

I want to add some extra blue to offset stretch of the extra reds.

Has the blue I want but not the FR. I don't want to add to the existing spectrum of the 96s, that's why I didn't choose this. Same as hlg-60. Don't want to add to what's there really. Doesn't have 450nm. This was new to me. They do have the 730nm I want. So that plus the hlg-11 in the...

^^^^^ what he said

I want to add adequate far red as well as royal blue. I don't want really want to use pucks because of the LED spacing. I'd rather build my own strips with individual LEDs if there isn't a great solution already. I plan to lay the QB96's out according to @Or_Gro's pics/info from GC in the...

I ordered mine tonight. Next is lights. 6 x QB96's plus some RB and FR I haven't decided on yet.

He lists and shows all the parts needed and how to put it together if you wanted to DIY and not buy anything from him. I've added up the parts and it's worth it to me to have him build it. My hands don't function properly anymore so this helps me.

I'm getting ready to order mine from Gary as well. Today probably. Like you, I've researched for over a year and think he has it down. Best all around, easiest to care for an maintain. Well thought out.

How large are the drain/flow hoses/pipes between buckets? I think you need something like a 3" PVC pipe between each to keep the roots from completely clogging it. I'd also want larger than 5 gal. buckets. 8-13 gallon buckets. Tote lids are weak if you have a heavy plant(s) causing them to...
