I got a bunch of these aswell, hoping to use the red buddies to support an autogrow that dont get too much sun on my balcony but it all about the corona now.
You got a set of these just lyin around? Put em to use!I got a bunch of these aswell, hoping to use the red buddies to support an autogrow that dont get too much sun on my balcony but it all about the corona now.
Dude, the whole country is in jail right now, no growshops open, nowhere to get seeds or clones or anything. Spain is grim right now and US is coming up on it. Get all your stuff sorted cause youll be sitting tight for a while i bet.You got a set of these just lyin around? Put em to use!
I've had them for just over a month. There are others using them, but there aren't any public journals that I'm aware of. All LEDs are low wattage until you put a few together. In my case I've added 60W of Buddies to a tent that already has about 340W of LED panels, so that's a decent increase in wattage.So @Prawn Connery have you just implemented these or are there any other journals of them being used? I wonder being SUCH low wattage how much they'd help?
ya same here bud, I have mine still in packages not opened yet. Hoping within the next month or so I can get my new lights built and the buddies put to use.I got a bunch of these aswell, hoping to use the red buddies to support an autogrow that dont get too much sun on my balcony but it all about the corona now.
Props on cool use of them, if i get some spares ill do some intracannopy on alu angle for my buds grow but after were all jailbroken. Take it from someone whos allready eleven days into curfew; be good to yourself and the people around you cause its really challenging, especially when you see no sign of numbers coming down. Im lucky, i married the right person for a thing like this, my wifes a real star.I've had them for just over a month.

Yeah I forgot to mention that each string of 20 LEDs is 2m long, so the individual LEDs are spaced about 10cm apart. In my tent I have four strings. I soldered a white and red string together and looped them around one side of the tent to make two rows that start and terminate in the same spot, then I did the same to the other side of the tent. The four ends of each two combined strings (each end has a + and a – wire) are then soldered to a connector which plugs into a DC wire connected to the external driver. That driver is then on the same timer as the other LEDs, so everything turns on and off at the sae time (12/12 cycle).These looks sweet I’d be interested too. Been considering side lighting tough lately.
So they come pre wired in a string of 20? How long is each set? Would we be able to wire them up so they’re alternating white/red and is there an estimate when they’ll be ready
I just decided to do the simplest thing I could with them, which was to stick them to the sides of my tent. They have been in place now for I think about six weeks (maybe more?), and there is no sign of the 3M tape coming loose. In fact, I tried to relocate one of the LEDs and ended up pulling half the tape off the LED instead of the tent, so I can say from experience they stick like you wouldn't believe!Props on cool use of them, if i get some spares ill do some intracannopy on alu angle for my buds grow but after were all jailbroken.

He's not the most diplomatic chap. And that's putting it mildlyNice! Its really too bad Teknik had a boner for Knocking the lights i like. We could have n probably would have got along n who knows, maybe I would have been able to assist. In testing as his work is everything I'm interested in. I still wish him my best in his endeavors & think he will open unexplored avenues to Horticultural leds.
To bad for me. Smart dude.
The PC Red use a 660nm pump combined with a red phosphor – similar to the red phosphor used in white phosphor LEDs (along with green, which absorb the primary blue light and re-emit it along the spectrum). The red phosphor/red die combo creates a wide red spectral emitter that is also high efficiency due to the 660nm pump.Nice and wide. The reds look like the perfect way for someone who's curious to try out some added 660nm, without having to alter the build of their primary fixture. Color me intrigued.
<3 TeknikHe's not the most diplomatic chap. And that's putting it mildly
But in hindsight, I think even you can agree he was right to call out Scammy and her HGL lights. Teknik was just a bit ahead of his time and of course he's not a grower so he didn't get extra kudos for that. But he knew bullshit when he smelled it and wasn't shy to call it.
I would be the first to try to broker a peace between Teknik and Admin, but I don't think it's going to happen. And even if it did, some egos would need to be kept in check.
Yeah, there's very little drop-off in the cyan range like most CRI80 and even CRI90 LEDs. He's made a good choice with the colours. There's a 6500K that could be used for cloning, but personally I like the 4000K best as an alround clone, veg and flowering light.I was thinking of larger space. Think you could stretch the string out and do bit more ? Hehe, I can imagine it was nice and warm.
The white has a good spectrum, that traditional dip at 480nm is not so pronounced. Seems quite worthy even at 2.08µmol/J. Very sunlike like.
He loves you too mate<3 Teknik
One of the smartest and most helpful dudes ive come in contact with. Also shows very little mercy to bs artists and wants nothing but transparency, rules to live by imo
Not a diplomatic bone in his body tho , i dont think lol
did i mention how much i <3 Teknik?
Shit, I'd be using those from the day I got em! So cool.ya same here bud, I have mine still in packages not opened yet. Hoping within the next month or so I can get my new lights built and the buddies put to use.
right now it’s not real high on my list of priorities tho
Stay safe bro, all the best
Shit, I'd be using those from the day I got em! So cool.
Right but I'm definitely Not talking about Scammie or HydroGrow. Although him & Scammie are the only 2 poeple that used the phrase "Cookie Cutter" when reffering to the Bar-8. Then the Conspiracy Theories started running through my head. Idk! I thought had to be a sock puppet account from another company cuz why try so hard to knock a quality product that makes spectral efforts? So i just avoided him n never gave him a chance.He's not the most diplomatic chap. And that's putting it mildly

It was just weird. Im glad he turned out to be legit & is doing the things he told me he would do for the community through PM.
I call a Peace Treaty with the man if he'll have it.
Wouldn't know how to contact him. If someone wouldn't mind passing the word that'd be appreciated. Thanks!
