DIY LED Strip Build Designs for Samsung H-Series, F-Series, Q-Series, and Bridgelux EB Gen.2 - LED Gardener
DIY LED strip builds have become very popular recently. The mid-power section of our forum is full of threads created by DIYers looking to build their own custom lights, and new builds and ideas are surfacing every day. If you don’t live somewhere where you have easy access to premade lights...

If that home made device causes a fire its going to cost you everything. LED wouldnt save me much energy. I just run my HPS in the winter so it just helps heat the house.I’ve built two. The bridgelux v2s are super cheap now. Add a few strips to the build to bring down the amps to .7 and you don’t even need heat sinks. Super nice systems at a fraction of the price. 500-600$ with the energy and bulb savings the payback is quick. It would be silly for me to use hps.DIY LED Strip Build Designs for Samsung H-Series, F-Series, Q-Series, and Bridgelux EB Gen.2 - LED Gardener

Lol no fear of that. I’m very comfortable with my wiring abilities.

You can pick up a mini split a/c for under $1k depending on size of your grow and grow year round. I paid only $1,200 for a brand new 2 ton(24,000 btu) dakien mini split unit. My buddy is an hvac guy and he installed it. Was the best decision I ever made, I sealed up my flower room and can comfortably grow with 4630 watts of hid, in a sealed room with co2 and temps in the mid- high 70°s with lights on in the summer.

I wouldn't worry about a fire as the wiring is very easy and DIY can be relatively inexpensive. I would also say if you grow in a tent or smaller space, then it is the best solution, as it maximizes height, the light runs at lower temps - although I find plants thrive at higher room temps with led grows.
Ultimately, this is a arguement that can go either way with folks being die hard on either side with plenty of hyperbole mixed in for fun . Being objective, LED is a good option in smaller spaces whereas larger rooms HID is likely more cost effective to buy and I know others have indicated that in winter the added heat helps their spaces.

Ya I have thought of switching over to led, but a run a decent sized flower room and love the results I get from my HIDs. I going to set up a 2nd smaller room were I'll run a led and see how I like them and go from there. Ran led thru full cycle in the past but now the tech is better so want to give it another try.
Another reason I still love HIDs is all the options now and I mix up the spectrum. I run my 1000 watters with 630 cmh and get killer results. I also use digital ballast so in the 1st week or 2 of flower I run 1000w MH bulbs then switch to the HPS bulb, then at the end(last week or 2) I switch back to MH bulbs, got awesome results last run.

I feel like the real deal ak-47 is hard to find in seed form. Talking about the ak from the 90s and early 2000s. Serious seeds had pretty legit ak-47 but I think they lost the original male or something. Now it pretty much just a cherry kush. The old school ak fucking reeked, like really stunk, and not just some fruity/cherry terps, it was a rancid stink and got you absolutley ripped. The serious seeds ak from the early to mid 2000s was the real deal but from what I heard they have now is an imitation.
Funny you should ask, I was just thinking about them, yes I have run them and my friend has as well got really good results I recall. I have 2 packs of their gear, pack of Raindance and cookies n chem from like 3 years ago. I haven't run them and didn't really want to because of all the shit being said about there genetics over in there forum. Think people were having issues with herms, questions about legitimacy of there genetics, ect. Like I said we had good result but only ran 2 packs. I'd honestly go with some others myself. Other good breedes with solid genetics are, secret seed co., 3rd coast genetics, and fresh coast seed co., envy genetic and compound genetics. The list I gave plus these breeders above is all you need to really grow some high quality flower. You could close you eyes and throw a dart for what to choose and still land some high end dank.

Yep, I talking about the 90s, early 2000s AK47. Stuff was pure fire.
We have a cut we made of 1999 AK47 x late 90s Sensi NL5. Stuff is pure fire. Reeks like skunky cat piss, and flowers/honeysuckle, Hash, flavor. Pure lung buster. 1 small bud will stink up a whole house.
When I first got married in 2002, I married a woman from the Philippines who had never seen, or smelled weed.
Pure AK47 was the first weed I brought into the house, and she freaked. It was a 1/4lb.... She said. That smells like the pee of a cat. Can you do something to get rid of the smell.
Also mind you, the weed was 2x bagged, in the refrigerator crisper. You could smell it all the way out the closed back door, down the stairs, out into the parking lot. A good 35 feet away anyway. Ended up 5 big boxes of Baking Soda in th ee main part of the fridge,,, and 1 big box in the crisper, and the weed in freezer bags, and tupperware killed the smell.
She still doesnt, and never has smoked weed.
Yeah, Serious Seeds lost the original genetics long ago, and the stuff they have now is junk compared to the original stuff. Sensi Seeds also lost the original NL5 genetics. Hashplant genetics, NL5/Haze, and several others. I think these were lost in fires, and raids. Same for Ak47. Also liked the original Kali Mist from the 90s.
Real AK47 is all impossible to find in seed form. If someone had a seed stash of the originals, at the least they could open pollenate all of the seeds, and breed towards a stable line. There was fire in those packs.
From what I understand Serious lost the genetics for AK47 2 times. I used to me a mod, for Claude when they first started an internet forum in 2006. I was Jethro. I think they last lost it in 2007.

Amazing result. How much money did it take you to grow such an impressive creature? I am going to test some strains that are good for working - Amnezia Haze, ChemDawg, Harlequin, and some others from this list https://askgrowers.com/blog/10-best-strains-to-work-from-home. Working from home while COVID makes e boring and I lose motivation and the results are not as good as expected. I think cannabis can help me. If I like some of these strains and if I like their effects, I'll grow them. And I'll come to Seedsman. I have already tested Zkittlez and I liked it. Recommend to try.
