Yes, and on the minus side he would get the same bu in reverse order. Thats a lot of power just going thru a small copper trace which i dont think is really meant to take that much, even if its only 24V.

Cutter has some strips with the same type of pcb, you may be able to use to those, voltages should be at least close. Edit: plc web is down, so no info re voltages from there, but they are still on IG. Or maybe you can find greengenes own IG. If you can get the details of the current vrs...

Whats your application method for uva/uvb?

Call out in the sense of starting a thread over cust serv issue. Im surprised OP didnt tag them. Kudos for tagging medic grow, i wouldnt be surprised if this is what pushed this issue along. Anyways, i apologize if ive come off as shitty; main thing is OP eventually got a new unit. Its a pity...

Not my build, ask @cbk123

That is interesting. Whatever floats your boat. Please document it though. Our grow is mostly clones, seedlings should be able to stand a bit more.

Try 18/6 but lower intensity, its easy to spook young led plants. I firmly believe this is a cycle issue and not a intensity issue. If you see stretch at low intensity while on 18/6, adjust intensity upwards. Or add some blue. Ive seen it soooo many times for plants with problems under leds...

I dont think this is a stand alone growlight, its to be used in green houses. I wouldnt get it for indoor grow as i believe its supposed to be used in conjunction with sunlight. Ask hlg to make sure. The spectrum sure fits the bill; almost only red and blue; its like blurple

It would also be nice to know how much of those 4.5 weeks depend on OPs handling of the issue: video of problem and order number is not a big ask, it would be in my first email if it were to happen to me. Seems a bit of a clusterf-ck on both ends and it kinda sounds like OP bought this second...

Have you considered this being related to normal stretch for start of flower? Its on 12/12 so why not? When something stretches if diverts much more growth to above ground than below. Id say you have two related problems. Just try with a proper veg cycle.

What hanging height do you manage? Running them at full power. What foes ramp up look like, what part of the grow are you able to run full power?

If you want long lasting leds try to make the diode temp less than 50C. To me its completely pointless running a qb size board, 180x280mm-ish, at those high wattages: In a open space: high hanging height which means a lot of the light will not fall on cannopy. In a tent: high hanging height...

I love the "Im so glad its over" line. Its like he finally got his divorce thru; the relief. Violent yet at peace with himself. Fantastic, im stealing it. Or conserving it for posterity.

Is the 240 driver for the 2.5x1.5 space? Id go for no more than 150w max. Thats already 40w per square foot. 60w per foot is generally too much. Since the sammie strips got a slightly weird voltage which is hard to match you could consider the xlg150-h: its a constant power driver which will...

For 700mA/ 30w operation youll need heatsinks if you want the strips to last. I even use sinking for 20w on fr4/plastic type strips. Alu u channel, 2mm thic is usually allright. When sourcing alu u-channel think about where and how the holes are placed: if they are around edges the inner...

From Meanwell report: https://www.meanwell-web.com/content/files/pdfs/productPdfs/MW/HLG-320H/HLG-320H-42-rpt.pdf Under voltage output adjustment range, results section: 45.95V is max output. For the 4th time: motivate why OP should run the driver at max voltage, 46ish V, when his circuit...

Um, what? Please quote what you actually read cause at nowhere is he saying this. And in any case, how does that relate to your advice: voltage dim max? "If you want to run them in parallel, then you need a 54-60V constant voltage (CV) driver. If you plan to run at lower currents, then a CV...

Can i ask another thing? That space looks really small. Are you using a 240 light in a 2x2? Then expect problems, would be a very over sized light.

1: this is fairly recent but regular enough for me to notice the pattern. 2: you can take the advice that we both agree upon: B or AB-type driver is preferable in your situation. I love DIY, its a really fun experience. First time you turn it on, go 'Gawd its bright' to yourself, first time you...

Do you really think that this is how you apply Ohms law in this case? Yes, i know it, its not even high school level, here we learn it when were 14. So you mean if you run a 42V CONSTANT VOLTAGE driver at half its rated current it becomes a 84V driver? Good luck. Im not engaging in this with...
