That might actually work! Lol.

I use the flood and drain fittings and flexible black water hose. This allows movement of the tubes. However I don't think they would work on a typical 5 gallon bucket since the surface of those are rounded. I would say go with large grommets and flexible hosing. Also, the more flow you...

I can't see the trees thru all that forest! Good looking grow

That's an awesome light! I have a 16 spot prototype and I love it. So the Reds are 10 watts?

Nice Looking Grow there! I'm excited to use the led light. I have other grows with hps, but just been looking for other options to help keep the heat down. I have the Stealth Grow SG602 also and will be setting up another tent soon for it.

I built this system about 2 years ago. (The same as you are describing). It rocks! Only thing...you can't have the light going back and forth huge distances. Use a 3 ft light rail, not any longer. It works great. Yield gram per watts are off the chart.

@Yodaweed I'm not too sure. I think the one with the uvb bulb is rated at 1546 watts? I'm not sure what mine is rated at. I thought there were 105 diodes, 8 watts each. But looking at them closely it appears there are multiple diodes put into little clumps, either 2 or 4 together at a time...

@Growmau5 Have any thoughts on Stealth Grow's SG602? I have one of those also and will be setting it up soon. But can't seem to find any growers that have used them.

@Growmau5 ...I've been watching your videos on youtube for awhile now (diy led light). Pretty awrsome! Have you gone through a full flower cycle with it yet? If so, how did it turn out?

@Growmau5....that was just an initial pic I took. I have it about 24 inches above the plants now, and running at about 33% power.

The one I have has a model number on it, 840fsf.

@Yodaweed ...mine does not have the uvb light. The production models have those, and the production models are red, mine is blue. Actually the production model is very different than the one I have. I'll try to attach a picture here.

@Amaximus ...My led is the prototype of the model you linked to. They only made a couple of the big ones for testing purposes, (not for public sale) They came in 4,6,9,12, and 16 "spot" designs. You can find a little info online about them, mainly the smaller ones, although I've never seen a...

Lol. You are correct. Well, sorta. In an NFT system there wouldn't be 5 inches of water in the bottom, or air stones. Hybrid?

I'm not sure of the actual wattage draw. Probably 8-900. It's 25"x25". I think it will cover the whole area fine.

I have a sorta rwdc....lol. It's a tube system with 5x5 inch by 8 feet pvc posts. I use flood and drain fittings to control the water level. 3 air stones per tube. 40 gallon res. 1/10th hp chiller. 2 1000 watt ballasts, and 2 400's in cool tubes. 2800 watts total. All in a 5x10 tent...

Ion 8 led, prototype, 16 spot.

I added two Skywalker clones, one to each bucket. We'll see how it goes...

So I managed to pick up a Lighthouse Hydro Ion 8 prototype 16 spot led light. It has 105 8 watt leds, and draws 8.4 amps at full power. Figured I would do my first grow journal here. The specifics....4.5x4.5 generic grow tent. Ion 8 led light. 6 inch fan and filter. 2 Hydro farm...
