    660nm 680nm 690nm 700nm diode build

    I foresee this being included in my table of tools :D thanks for the heads up. I ordered a webcam to convert to a spectrometer; I will update when I get a chance (no rush heh heh). I like that I can do this now, just freestyle diodes up and around the frame, or just leave them on those...

    660nm 680nm 690nm 700nm diode build

    I kinda learned the hard way I suppose, but I'm glad I did. Learned a lot about diodes and about 'what's it really worth'. The diodes work. The buckboosters work. The driver, the mounts and fans, all work. Cost a fair bit, and probably not worth the expense, but hey, I have them and can test...

    660nm 680nm 690nm 700nm diode build

    I'm still working on this... I know its been long, but I finish what I start. Just take my sweet azz time about it is all. Cost me too much money but I kinda see it like a college class fee. Its the diodes that cost way too much for a poor guy like me; just grabbing 660s ffs; oh well, school...

    2 x 4 Lighting for Flowering with QB Elite v2

    Like I wrote, they get hotter than my 800 boards (compare to 3x288s). They get hot enough that after I stuck a filter on my main air mover that it got to 35.5C, so without proper ventilation, expect an overheating issue. I didn't say that its impossible to grow in a tent, but its hotter than...

    2 x 4 Lighting for Flowering with QB Elite v2

    V2s gonna get hot in a tent. I got four of em covering ~4x4 footprint, but I placed a filter on my HV fan yesterday (trying to scrub some air), and woke up to a 35C (95F) room today and a heat stressed plant. Ripped that filter off and aired out the room again, won't be doing that anytime ever...

    Samsung H influx L09 strip LED light grow - proof in the pudding!

    Hey Befri, I like your work. I've used the strips too, but I use them more in combination with other lights. The L09 is quite powerful; ended up giving 4 modules to my wife for her house plants that are living through the winter. Also I use 4 modules to supplement 4 x HLG V2 96s. That's a...

    Any experience with these reflow ovens?

    I never implied that, was there a video in the playlist? Or do you mean that solder station? I thought the station was very good deal for what it offers. As far as hot air gun, that's used for taking off diodes, not putting them on. Although I have seen videos of guys using a (laundry) iron...

    The Ideal spectrum.

    Yes, I hyperlinked the text. I tried to change the text color, but it never works. My last plant was grown under 2700K light and didn't stretch at all until transition, but the entire plant was pretty well rock bud. I don't know if I want to add color temps much higher than 3500K, although...

    LED Strip Links.

    the only reason I'm apprehensive about suggesting the H-influx atm is I just compared the price I got them for last month to what they are now. I purchased for 29.37 CAD and now they are 42.11. that's weird. and overpriced imo.

    LED Strip Links.

    Honestly, I'm going to wait to build my next strip build until I see Samsung's new strip. They have the different ones listed here.
