Do you have a link to your light build? Congrats on the build it is nicely done ... cheers
Popping seeds today to get a fresh start.
At 350ma you can be touching the plant.
how do the diodes like the magnets ?rare earth magnets attached to back of strips via kapton tape, slapped up in the corners and 1 on either side. Running off of 1 HLG-185H-A 48V driver. I haven't tested it (my kill-a-watt broke), but it should be pulling roughly 160W (40V X 4A). the plants are badly neglected and in horrible shape, but that is not because of these lights
never given me any problem - it's not my first time using the magnets to help put together a fixture
@Randomblame is very knowledgeable on lighting and I believe he recently suggested 3000k. I'm not sure if he likes a 3000k and 5000k mix, I know some growers do. Opinions vary, but I don't think it makes a huge difference. Yes, BXEB-L1120Z-30E4000-C-B3 is 3000k.
Unfortunately digikey has EBgen.2 only in 3500 and 5000°k in stock. You need to order 100 or 200+ strips of the other spectrums.
That‘s not correct! 350ma is the nominal current of the 1ft strips. I had the gen1 running @180ma in my veg cab, and didn‘t looked for the plants like 4 days. In this time some mother plants were growing into the strips. They all had burnt dots on the leaves. But when they touch each other just for a day, than there wasn‘t any damage.
3“-10“ was working for me.
I am really limited in height and I can only fit a 3ft tent max. I still have to decide between EB strips or lm561b/c pcb from china since I am EU based, total price is similar.
I get nearly everything I build with from arrow....Ive had orders reach my doorstep in less than 24 hours. Order with confidence.Im getting ready to order drivers from arrow
Hopefully they are legit
Check out my thread (signature). Definitly EB strips!
Yes it is correct, I didn't state how long you can leave them touching but merely that they can touch them. I've had plants touching my strips at much higher current. Obviously you don't want to leave them like that but my point was that at 350ma if your plant grows up quickly and actually touches the light, your plant will be fine. Of course it will depend on what strain you have, some are more resilient than others. I think what people want to know is if the plant touches the light that it's not going to be burnt like cobs do to plants. Strips are much more forgiving, especially when run at 350ma.
I like EB strips more cause I can get a better coverage than Samsung strips. I am just worried I am missing something... Tent will be 1.6ft(deep)*2.3ft(wide)*2.9ft and I am thinking of setup made of:
