Does anyone happen to have a link for the LED strip light DIY site that has examples of different builds? I was thinking that would be a good thing for my son to start doing for some $$. The LED thread is in time out at the moment for the HID/LED wars.
I sprout a LOT of seeds in the late winter/early spring and thought it would be awesome to convert a bread rack into a fully lit Chunky Rack™. :eyesmoke:
Similar to this, but using LED strips instead of tubes.

One driver per rack.
You'd have to pull the trays to water them.

I bought some LED T8 ballast bypass bulbs and put those into a bunch of fixtures initially for my lights. I think they were $30 for 4 of them, but the output claims are debatable. They also didn't have any lower light frequencies.IMG_0058.JPG

I always stress the day before. I like my dentist, but I hate that no matter how well I look after my teeth, he finds a reason to shame me. :finger: His hygienist always tells my that my cleanings are super easy so screw him. Being a performer i bet you have to alway be thinking about your appearance. You never see anyone in your line of work with bad teeth. You don’t go to the dentist at all? I force myself to go three times a year for cleanings but that’s it.

I’m chopping my plants down this morning, just waiting for my helpers to get out of bed.

Last time I went to the dentist was about a decade ago, and about the same before that. No need for cleanings with my routine. Such pretty buds you have. Perhaps you could take a few pics of you and your helpers in PJs doing a little trim party, then share them with the class. For science...

I’ve never done a lone LED run. I use the LED and the HID together. They seem to dig it.
Yeah I'm not picky and neither are my plants.
Right now I'm running frankenlight because I need the heat (HPS & MH combined).
Later when the plants are bigger and I'm using more space, I'll spark the LED units.

Can't wait to try the black dog 'phytomax-2' that my buddy gave me. :cool:
I'd run it now but that thing would probably bleach my little babies.

The brown coat is now complete. I’ll stick all the foam trim this week. Next week my plasterer buddies will start putting on the acrylic finish.

Only other things left to do for inspectors is bringing over the electrical which the main is 150’ away and it’s very rocky here lol and run some outlets in the building. I got a start on the worst part yesterday with my backhoe and put the pipe in this morning. The rest will be done with a ditch witch

Oral Hygiene @Gary Goodson style? Remember - up&down, not side to side.

Lol for science. They bailed on me in under an hour. Just finished trimming and cleaning out the buckets.

I too would enjoy something like that the single shelf seems to get full quick these days can’t even fit my veggies in
