I'm trying to strike a balance between going obscenely overkill in my flowering tent and playing to the Chinese edge of ordering more boards for my "HLG savings" and driving them softer to increase my overall diode count relative to my shipping costs. That puts me around 9 boards in a 4x4 tent...

I would, but it has to fit a 36" piece of aluminum :p

Thanks for the reply, I'll go with this driver. If you had to buy more of these 1" lights and drivers, what would you do for a more current build, with cost being the main concern? I'm planning to build a few more of these 1" x6 fixtures (has to be 1' as I have 3' long aluminum grill plates...

You're a gentleman and a scholar. If you were gonna do a 2019 build, what would your goto cheap setup be if I wanted to build another 2 or 3 6x 1" LED fixtures with cheap LEDs and drivers? Light output/PPFD isn't a priority as I'm going with microgreens - I'm primarily concerned with the cost...

I had some extra 1 footer Samsungs layring around and I'm going to throw 6x inFluxs on an old grill plate as my heatsink; but I'm stumped on what driver to pick to run all 6 of them, as these strips only pull 9.05v each and should be ran at around 1050ma. Does anyone have some suggestions on...

Beauty. It's incredible how cost effective we can get with fixtures now.

Spark one for me champ :bigjoint:,looks like you've had a rough few weeks based on your post history I detect a salt buildup. I was looking at the shots from 3 weeks ago that's why I asked for an update.

Update? You're giving me blue balls over here. Want to see the final yield!

Cheap ebay stuff, dont buy.

Would love to see your split test results of all these different color temps. Whatcha growing?

Can anyone show how to wire these to a meanwell power supply? I'm understand series wiring for COBs but for some reason I can wrap my head around series wiring these little strips to a driver

What a time to be alive.

Awesome. Can't wait until it's finished! Maybe this repo will help you - his system looks good, unfortunately he opted for a very complicated syringe dosing system instead of peristaltic pumps, but maybe the code is of use to you. https://github.com/drolsen/DRO-Matic

Your projects are great man, you're bringing us into the next generation here! You considering doing an automated dosing/PH adjustment setup? I'm looking everywhere but can't find a complete solution, everyone seems to have abandoned their project and left them sub-functional.

Great idea man. I'm buying the adapters now! No more heavy lifting for me :bigjoint:

No. These small scale, Kickstater automated hydroponic systems on the market are all absurdly overpriced for what you get. Not to mention: they don't have a finished product yet! You're throwing a deposit down and they haven't even come up with the product Napkin math: Assuming it took you 3...

I'm so tired of hauling a full 5 gallon bucket out to my reservoir for rez changes! It's only 15 gallons but there's got to be a better way. Anyone have a good method for filling their reservoir? My site is about 40 feet from my bathroom, I was thinking about running a hose adapter off the...

Make your own! https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=267918 This guy's build is perfect, and it's the exact same concept of the Current Culture. The only pain is ordering custom made rubber grommets from a rubber store, in place of the uniseals... (you'll see in that thread, they ARE still...

Have you grown vertically in a tent, and do you think it would yield more than a 4-6 plant SOG+scrog under 3x3ft of horizontal COBs? What do you think about a double sided cob bar and hang it vertically down the middle of the tent from the ceiling. now I've got 4 or 6 buckets and I'd fix a...

I've never seen anything like this. You're yielding what, 1.5 pounds off that first plant? In a 3x2x6ish space? That's fucking insane. If I had higher ceilings and no tent I would be doing this right now. Have you thought about mounting a bar to the roof and then a bunch of rope hangers to lift...
