I have almost all the parts for my vero 10 veg bars.

Then I went and bought parts for a new vero 18 bar. it will be 6 chips driven at 1050ma off of one dimmable driver. Same intel coolers. I am gonna do 2*5000k, 2*3000k, 2*2700k chips I believe. :-)

So over spring break I will hopefully have parts to build with.

Ive been so hella busy. at work now even. Working and posting. LOL LOOOOOONG ass hours the last month.

I saw my physical medicine specialist today. Ive been having more back issues. More issues in general. He put me on
Nortriptyline.

It is supposed to help me sleep at least 6hrs straight. I haven't slept more than 3-4 at once in years. Always wake up 3-4 times a night... etc.. He thinks the lack of sleep is worsening my problems. Im excited to start it but I need to start when not working so much. So in another week I can. I was reading up.. thats what gets me excited. Lots of folks put on this through pain management say it helps them sleep AND takes the pain away.

Im gonna post in the 600 and see if anyone else has been on it.. LOL.

spent over an hour in xray too today. I get to hear about the condition of my back in a few days. He suspects arthritic problems with the compression fractures.

Not yet. I am not even open to going that route TBH. Surgery and narcotic pain killers are not something im into. Its actually ok. I think this will be the ticket. We talked a long time. I think I was in the dr for over an hour and then about 1.5hrs in doing xrays. probably 30min of wait time in there between the two. LOL figure it was a 3hr dr day.

Sorry I didnt get back to you. Ive been working alot and been a touch overwhelmed with myself. LOL

that's good. I hope it works out and all the pain goes away for good.

its cool. I'm just planning ahead. After helping my friend get his cobs up and running, I'm more anxious to get mine going. I still have to wait since I spent all my light money on those seeds. Luckily I have those tester panels for now. They'll probably have to go back after this batch. So I got to get on building cobs at that time.

I have parts for my two vero 10 veg bars in. I also have chips on the way for a 6chip one driver vero-18 bar. I am going to build casings from aluminum from scratch.

I talked to my local hydro store owner. I will be taking some of my parts and building a small demo panel after talking to him. So I might be doing some builds for people on the side.

Im gonna be out your way visiting thump this month. not sure when. I will let you know.

They say the real deal is that I havent been sleeping more than 3-4hrs straight for years. He says this will build up my pain. He thinks a good nights sleep regularly will help to alleviate the pain some. Im hopeful too.

Im not on my deathbed but it does get depressing to be only 40 and have some serious issues. I think Im gonna try this starting Monday. I really want to see if it helps. he says it takes a while to really settle in and be effective so you have to take it regularly. no more drinky. smoky ok. LOL

not liking the pain you are in but the hopefulness of some reprieve :) I would also like to know if it works...I don't sleep more than 3 to 4 hours a night myself. Pain wakes me up.

Good luck with the new meds bud. Ever since my motorcycle wreck I've had similar issues sleeping well because my arm still isn't right.

I said it before and if your thinking about making bars/panels I'll say it again. I definitely could be interested in some.

I think I could build when your ready. I can customize any build Im working on building some lights now for my veg. Im making my own aluminum cases. My email is: [email protected]

Im working on upgrading mine one bar at a time. Im doing 6 vero18 chips on a dimmable 1050ma driver. all meanwell drivers for leds and fans. It is what I would recommend. 3 of these over a 4x4 would kill it. Maybe up to 5x5. they would be 185w each bar.(555watt total or about 67710 Lumen.) I could also add in a 7th chip on a different driver for even more photon... Add far red stars for lights out etc.. so yeah.. completely custom.

Veg lights can be somewhat cheap as we can use cheaper drivers and smaller cobs to get the job done with small plants and softly driven chips to power medium veg lights. Im working on 2 vero 10 fixtures with five chips and one driver each. I think that this will do it for a 2x4 x2.5 space. ( I have a split level 2x4x5 tent)
