    Hey how did your first grow finish up with that light? Or is it still going? I'm at week 6 of flower now. Super impressed with the light tho.

    Custom led distances from canopy ?

    Thanks everyone, I'll have to check out that meter, it would be good to have for sure. As for distance, I was afraid that I might be scorching tops if I went to close, but looks like I'm in the right zone. KonopCh, that plant looks awesome! I have no idea what my expectation should be.im...

    LED Build 3x3

    Yeah my tent is hotter now with this lite, some times it gets up to 29 degrees. Plants love it tho. Here is my current grow at 10 days into flower I did end up vending the exhaust to the house return air, it keeps the room down a few degrees

    LED Build 3x3

    I'm supprised how much the tent heats up with the light. Had to duct the room out to drop the temp of the room, when running 9 lights the tent goes up to 25-26. All 15 it goes up to 30-31 which is too much. Fan blower is cranked as well.

    LED Build 3x3

    Thanks, yeah waiting for paste is a good idea, the tape don't hold that well. I had to use silicone around the heatsync edge to keep it from lifting. Even cleaned the strips and aluminum before installing.

    LED Build 3x3

    Light is finished, just need to wait for a few dabs of silicone to dry that is sealing up the boxes and open solder pads. Clones go in tomorrow! Very exciting. Pics showing it running 9 lights. I have a switch on top that shuts off 6 lights for seedling. The switch box also contains all the...

    Tricombe question.

    I'm a bit concerned about putting the dry koolbloom bloom on so early. My friend is growing for 15 years and he said to do it but I thought it was way early also. There is one larger cola and I think it's going to start to foxtail. Hope it don't herm with so much stress on them. Is that even a...
