Gorgeous tops, bro.
Those samsung hard chips seem to prove very worthy.
Thanks, man. I love how they're developing. Was under the impression they'd have more color based on the name "rainbow" but I guess there's still time for some to set in.

And yeah the Samsung chips in the NextLights are doing a great job. Couldn't be happier with them

I keep forgetting to tell you, next light made their way into the local hydro shop where I'm at, with how rare public led knowledge is I'm glad to see the shop finally opened their eyes.

I freaked out when I touched it..it was hung at two points and I immediately went to catch it when it started swaying so much lol, fucker is light as air!

Nice, yeah they are crazy light. Thought they were like 5 lbs but I guess it's actually more like 11 or 12. Just spread out over a big area makes it feel lighter than it is I suppose. Thanks for sharing those pics. Hope everything is good on your end

Today is the end of week 8. Girls are getting the axe Sunday or Monday. This week I cut out most of the nutrients and just been feeding with Cannazym and Boost. Will hit them with a couple days of straight water then chop. Very happy with the lights. Not a fan of growing the sherbet strains though. Ive done both sunset and rainbow. They're fire no doubt but will not grow either again. They're kinda finicky.

Girls were harvested yesterday. Besides what's here hanging there's also another couple ounces on a drying rack. Thinking it will be around 12 oz total, 2 a plant is looking about right. Will report back later in the week after they're dried and weighed. Here's a few pictures in the meantime. Sorry for the shitty camera work.

I just love how I tried to get anyone to answer my questions about how to wire strip lighting no more than six months ago and was told it would be a waste of my time and money that strip lighting was completely worthless then the Nextlight comes along with a tech that many thought was pointless and proves that it is a viable option.
Still probable won't be able to get any help though friggin arsholes.

I'm using a couple of Samsung strips for veg and I really like them so far. What do you want to know?

@MrTwist1 I'm confused about the wiring in series does this mean run positive to the first strip negative to the last and then wires coming off each respectable wire going to each additional strip

Also the drivers most of them are rated at 8 amp 200w it would seem if I ran two of these on the same cord that would blow my 15 amp breaker.

Also I found some from ecolocity and from Heraco lighting that are rated at 9.5 to 15.3 watts a foot. I want to attach these to heat sinks from the company's that they sell. But they are no where near the general rule of 40cm2 required by traditional LEDs not even close. Do these go by some unwritten rule that strips live by or can they just run hotter with out much lumen depreciation.

Series is:
Driver pos to first led pos, seperate wire between first neg and Second pos, so on with seperate connection wires, then ending with the last leds neg to drivers neg.
