Was 110F degrees in the shade today, lights survived and are still going.
Gave the plants a silica treatment before the heatwave and they just ticked right through.

Foliar or feed?

Used it as a pH up. So about a 3rd of the recommended dose.

Good to know. Never hurts to have a backup plan for a heatwave.

Thanks.

The new black framework with blue heatsinks look even better.

Latest creation. 200w QB288 fixture with a sonoff wifi controller and bayite power monitor. I'm pretty happy with it!

I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The winter did a real number on my hydrangea and it looked like it wasn't going to last so I brought it inside and rigged up a little "veg light" for it. It is the CREE horticulture reference design LEDs with 9x 4000K XP-G3 and 3x 660nm XP-E Photo Red. I had a few 25x10x300mm heatsinks so I stuck them to that with some pieces of thermal tape, 3D printed some heatsink mounts, and strapped the ends to a piece of 1/2"x1/2"x1/16" aluminum angle. From there it got decidedly ghetto as the only power supply I had sitting around was 12V and a way overpowered 300W boost converter. While I was at it, I added on a DC voltage and current meter, wrapped the plant in some reflectix mylar bubble insulation for a little reflection, and added a 80mm computer fan to aid in transpiration (the leaves were showing droplets of moisture). The whole thing hangs on some bungee cords on a quick PVC frame.


I think I have some sort of LED addiction problem. Put them on all the things.

Here’s mine CXM’s running at 1400ma in a big 2x3. I purchased assembled light engines, that simplified things a bit and I was able to enjoy building the frame. Lots of pics, but each is worth about a couple hundred words. Ask ????? If ya want

Check out my journal to see the light performance . 404watts including 3 fans

Home depot special. Reflectors out of an led recessed fixture. $5 for the fixture, got 3, going back to get 3 more. Think i can recycle the drivers as well

Can you give us details on the fixture and was there a heat sink

No heatsink. Driver is 160ma cc, 50-66v. Drilled a hole in the diffuser to stick something in to pry it out.

Osram SSL in the front build, 3500k at 700mA but could be driven higher if desired. 6 CXB-3590s in the rear being driven at 2100mA. I was thinking it would be way too hot because they are close together, but not an issue.

What’s up with the round cobs? Any data? Did you buy those? Watts PAR?
