So I compleated my lighting for my 4x4x7 flower tent . I’m running 9 qb132 controlled through three potentiometers with digital multimeter feedback. I have my fixture broken down to three zones, for decent control of light intensity. I Have thoughts to add some vertical led strips with red and blue as primary, has anyone done this and timed it so they come on before and end after main lighting? Thoughts/suggestions? I need to make new plaques as I changed my original plans after I
Made them . I tried to keep my build clean and I find the quantum board lighting to be amazing in such a small package. The thin boards make frame work easy, they hang from the tent with out causing flex and they run relatively cool. Pushing about 65w per board (found I could drive them upwards of 90w) the tent after settling in and no intake fan - only vacuum draw from the 189cfm fan and carbon exhaust - my temp probe mounted at canopy level in the open under direct light, at about 24” is 80 def f. It was a hot day, no AC In the main room. I’m seeing a differential of about 6-7 deg. Not sure if I should Ac the much larger space (not ideal) or run and intake fan (would run 189cfm intake fan to splitter supplying intake to a 4x4 tent and a 4x5 tent. Looking for most cost effective and efficient means. Typically this space stays pretty cool, prob maximum by out in the mid 70s (when it’s mid 80s out). Cost comparison, fan is 50-80$ But uses 850ma. I have an AC unit it the cost to run and the draw is much greater. Thinking Intake fan and use AC if needed during the hottest points of the year. That and I want my intake source to be different in the summer/winter and this will give me the opportunity. Any idea how many feet of venting I can run with a 4”inline pushing around 200cfm and still get good flow?
