So I've just built my own Canadian version of your model.

Well assembled in Canada

I'm running 4x CLU058-3500k.

Are you having any heat issues? My tent jumped to 86 overnight.

Thinking there will be a sweet spot for heat and output.

Thanks

Damn that looks nice in a 2x2 @NapalmD!! I myself am running twin Photon 180s in a 2x2 (Jardin DR60) as well.. One is Vero Gen 7 at 4000k and the other being Citizen 58 at 3500k. I've loved high power Veros forever and find them at 4000k to be the best leds. Very interested to see how this run turns out!

@robincnn - are you considering selling a fully assembled unit such as this anytime soon? This design reminds me of an early diy fixture on this site... sure you guys remember which one I'm talking about. Anyways, one of the best threads to come along here in a while!

How you mean ? What temps you have when light off and on ? 84f is perfect under led when lights are on. This is not hps your plants love the extra heat that surround them.While with hps its cooking them from the inside.

Isn't thaf insane overkill. about 90w per sq. ft?

OK cool.

I'll dim it back until I hit 83 or 84.

Day 9 of 12/12
Just cleaned them up and turned it up to 250w which I may keep at for next 2 weeks. I'm gonna give em all they can handle but at a nice even pace almost how the sun gets more intense through the seasons.
They definitely seem to be growing faster than normal.
I'm very eager to compare results with my CXA grow and their moms.
Will take some heat sink temps tomorrow after a full day at this wattage.
It's been warm out lately.

It looks like they like the Ful-power and will be adding some Herculean Harvest mid flower till flush to bring in another type of calcium that should bring a myriad of things to the table and possibly be another missing link in my Jacks 321.5 arsenal.
I love to keep it simple but don't mind adding in a few things if the girls will use them and benefit in quality in the end.
It's all head stash so I want the very best the plants have to offer.
This should be good. Stay tuned. Same bat time, same bat channel.

So being the designer of The Titan, when it is dialed up to max. full scorch, would that be around 1900ppfd in a 2x2.5?
Should be 1500+. Not sure exactly how much. More than enough was the plan.

Its overkill. But @NapalmD is an awesome grower. I am sure he will find ways to use as much power as possible for this grow.

@robincnn - are you considering selling a fully assembled unit such as this anytime soon?
No plans to build these. When i build something this good, i don't like to sell it. You have to build one for yourself.

@NapalmD plants looking great. 250W awesome.

Took some heat sink readings today.
Light is pulling 250w at the wall.
Both windows in the room were shut all night where the tents are so it was very hot in the room when I walked in. Both tents were 84f when I opened them. I don't like them going over 82f.
They have both been the same temp the last few weeks which is weird because the CXA tent and it's intake is right next to a window. But I don't mind uniformity.

Excuse my superb artwork. I definitely wasn't an architect in my past life.
The front left sink is highest because it gets zero air flow from interior fan. But they are all still just warm to the touch.

I measured my CXA bars for the hell of it and they were 82f, both actively cooled and running at 125w each bar including fans.

Day 16
The growth has been awesome so far!
The canopy is a jungle but it's all good.
Cleaned them up a little and will try not to mess with them anymore and give them a nice stress free run.

I feel like they will finish quicker under this spectrum just by the difference in growth so far. Time will tell.
The Underdogs already looking like a quick finisher in my CXA tent and looks and smells like a keeper so if I can shave another 5 to 7 days off her that's a big win in my book.

Hey! I thought you weren't selling those frames anymore, I've been waiting months for one!

I was a little off quoting Robin, it was actually lower but again I will be taking heat measurements throughout the grow and that's what counts.

Took a few clones from the 2 Golden Lemons last night and put the screen down today and cleaned them up a little.
I also turned up the power a bit.
I'm eager to flip now but will probably do it on Thanksgiving so I can pour a little gravy in the pots as a blessing :)
Since both these strains grow similarly I should be able to pull off a pretty nice scrog.
Will also start feeding both of my tents some Ful-Power on their next feedings.

Hey @robincnn , I asked this before but could you put two of those splayed heat sinks in a Photon case if you cut the top off thecase off to allow the pins to stick in the air. Or is the problem horizontal space ?
