You guys rock! Thanks!

meanwell and I aren’t really understanding each other. It’s probably me because I’m stupid. Playing with all this dmx protocol crap and trying to synchronize soft starts and stops to mimick horizons etc for added efficiency blah blah blah. any ideas of fully dimmable drivers or maybe even...

Additional deep and far red monos or strips?

Thanks! There’s a 20”x20’ center aisle/walkway, but yeah, I’d say in some places I’m 28 and others as much as 32. I spaced things out at different dimensions to see what works best. I’m only dimmed 25% and color has been great once I kept my temps over 80. Gonna Drop my lights at the end of the...

@skoomd thank you. That’s really impressive. I’m 2 weeks flipped with 9x hlg550s in a 160sq’ room and I don’t see how I could run any more light than that. I’m 3’ off the canopy and honestly pretty scared to get any lower when I’m already dimmed 25% (halfway).

Can’t find your link but would love to check it out. Could you please drop the link again?

Very Interesting! Thank you @Randomblame. I’ll check it out

@Randomblame I totally hear you. I vegged under 3000k and everything was beautiful. Problem is the client still wants bells & whistles. Wants a programmable light with dmx protocols to add reds and blues at the right times throughout. You don’t see adding up to 15% 5000k aiding in veg or terp...

@Randomblame thanks again! Would you rock equal diodes of 2700k, 3500k and 5000k or maybe 3000, 4000 & 5000? Reaching out to mfgs to get strips or a pcb made alternating the 3 different diodes, just not sure on whether or not I should be runnin equal amounts or not. Thanks again, I really...

@Randomblame About to start sourcing materials for a prototype, but I think we wanna just go 2700, 3500 and 5000k strips, but I'm not sure on the ratios to be able to mimic the sun at all parallels and create presets for early veg, late veg, transition, early bloom, mid, late etc. I think we...

Was thinking of building something similar with 1200 total diodes 2700k, 3500k and possibly 5000k strips to get something “adjustable” totaling about 500w. As my open room with 9 hlg550s feels like overkill if not 5’ off the canopy.

I honestly go off ppm from old habits with a Hanna combo meter set at .7. I’m for a fact at 1000ppm @ .5 scale. I threw the EC in there in case experienced users work in EC lol. Old dog new tricks I guess. Things seem to be normalizing and my new growth is lush green. This K.I.S.S is hard to...

I’m using a nutridip grow boss at .5 conversion. (That’s probably the discrepancy) Strains are deathstar x Cherry pie, Banana OG, and GG4. PH is 5.8-6.0.

Like I said I was doing 3-2-1 but started seeing defics. So I upped things. I don’t measure what I add. I do it by EC.

Sorry to break up the pee pee match, but I have serious question. I’m currently rocking 4 hlg550s over a 3x16’ and 5 over a 3x18’ table spaced 20” apart. Started my cuts with about 6’ above the canopy and have let my girls grow in to the light. My 4th week of veg, most my girls are pushing 26”...

Funny. I used to make sticky yellow trap rockwool cube covers. Worked great til you soaked em after a few weeks, but at .015 a piece, very well worth it

I’m the same toohighmf who rocked cabers/bubba exclusively for about a decade and I did fall off the top rung of a 16” ladder to concrete and lost my radial head of my elbow in my yard somewhere. Yes.

I was on a 6 year hiatus after a 25 year run of single ended 1000w HPS w hortilux super reds for both veg & bloom. I used to own a hydro shop called Hooked On Ponics in L.A and a store in LV called the root guru. When lame ass prop 64 passed, I opened a consultancy/contractor firm called...

I threw 72 gg4, banana og and skywalker x cherry pie under 9x hlg-550’s about 10 days ago. I wouldn’t call it commercial, but when the remaining 139 9 light rooms are built, it will definitely be large scale. They’re vegging really nice. I topped a week in and the new growth is amazing. Even 5’...

Not understanding. A pic says a thousand words. Are your air cooled lights in a enclosure or is it just muffin fans mounted to an open chassis?
