Hi mehmet Can, I have the frame and lights mounted. I still need to wire it. I put the project on hold for the summer because I have been partying up in Maine, and have 6 aero buckets running outside. Nothing beats free light! I'll finish up the system when I harvest. I just got back to...

Hey Guys! How is it going? I just got back to school. It is an early year; we go a full week before Labor Day. I miss Maine and party days of summer already. The summer grow is in bloom and looking pretty good for my first outdoor aero grow. I have six plants in a triple 5 gal bucket aero...

Hi dstroy! It has been hectic since the end of June. The grow was massive. It exceeded expectations and produced huge buds and an exceptional harvest, all of this with only five plants. I have been trimming and drying for the last three weeks. The bud is now going into cure. I’m not sure of...

Hi Guys! Sorry I have not updated in a while; it is crunch time. The end is in sight; summer is here and school is out in a few days! I have had to finish up with finals, but my seniors are gone so I had time to work on the project. I do hear you, I listen, and comprehend what you guys are...

Hi 1212ham, how is it going? I have an assortment of lights right now. I have a bunch of the Morsen "2000W" full spectrum units. These have an actual draw of about 350W for each unit. There are also about four lens type 300W units, and these draw about 300W each, but they are generic. I have...

I haven't even looked for one. For what I am planning I'm going to need a lot of wattage. At some point I'll have to redistribute heat. If the cheap chips do not perform, I can easily swap them out for more efficient chips, but I really need the data on the cooling. My new creation is a...

Do you sell or manufacture LED chips?

So, you have tested the AC chips vs. the DC chips and drivers and hold empirical, quantitative data? I would be pleased to know the parameters and procedures so that I could replicate the findings and compare the performance. I reflect upon Volkswagen's emissions claims, and I question the...

If we ignore the plants’ conversion of light into carbohydrates, all of the electricity input into a system will be converted to heat. Plants may have a 10% efficiency, but this depends on the species. I do not know the photosynthetic efficiency of cannabis, but for this exercise, we will...

I just reread the thread, and I have to thank everyone again for their contributions. There are amazing ideas contained within, and a plethora of knowledge. I'm continuously analyzing the comments and I'm using them to craft this project. One aspect that drives this creation is heat. Many...

Yeah I know, I have issues. In my own defense, there was an ideology behind it. The copper has a better heat conductance than aluminum, so if I use thicker Cu, more heat will dissipate and it will run the chip cooler. It was a redundant measure such that if the liquid coolant temperature...

I'm in the process of building the liquid cooled COB LED light array. If you are intrigued, here are the links to the thread. https://www.rollitup.org/t/driverless-ac-cob-led-build.965594/ ...or closer to date. https://www.rollitup.org/p/14294827/ Happy growing! = ZXC

Hey guys, Here is a quick update. The plants are looking good. I took a few pics during the low-light cycle. ( Every hour I flip most of the lights off for 15 min. to cool the tent and only have a few on while it aspirates the heat.) They look purple, but you should be able to see the...

So, I have made a bit of progress on the lighting project. I have soldered the 70 chips. It took about five hours to cut the leads, tin them, and solder them to the chips. I needed a second set of hands to use two irons. This was needed to provide enough heat for the 12 gauge stranded wire...

Hey 1212ham, sorry for the delayed reply. I got sidetracked with building an outside screened-in grow area. It looks pretty awesome now that it is finished, and it houses six of my aero modules for the summer. I can elaborate if there is interest, but that is another topic altogether...

Hey guys! I have an update on the progress. I can't post too much during the week, but I'll try to carve out some time. My time constraints prohibit me from adequately addressing all of the replies and comments. Thank you, all who have posted for your time, thoughts and efforts, and I...

Are we looking at the same graph? What do the abbreviations on the side and bottom mean? You are correct, I don't have data yet. I have been asking you how to obtain data to gauge the chip performance that will correlate to the tested chips. Is there a test that I can perform that will...

I might add that they are producing light in the photosynthetically active range, but the wavelengths of light vs. biological anabolism of biomass is another discussion altogether. Sure, if we are to compare apples to apples, we would need to test all of the available LED chips within the same...

Without including an alternative testing method in your statement, your statements are making me question their altruism and motives...

Very nice! Beautiful array. Did you weld the square tubes to make the closed loop? Additionally, did you put thermal glue between the metal plates and the tubes while securing them with the zip ties? I like that configuration, it is similar to what I envisioned. The connecting tubes act as...
