I will second @Moflow upabove. Reading a lot of your different posts all over different threads helped me to take the leap into diy things. I started with some boards, now have more strips than I know what to even do with from sales on arrow and thinking about different spectrums. Unfortunately...

Beautiful plants sir. Nice seeing these grown in sips as well, will enjoy looking back on this as my future grows will ideally be done in very similar fashion to what you have going.Look forward to seeing the end results and hope it all goes smoothly for you. I'm sure there are different...

I'm no expert, but I think youd want to get a cheap 24 volt driver to dive them separately. The fans will be pulling a lot less current which I believe will lead to some problems in the circuit. Again no source of knowledge here but it seems like you could source a new driver for a few extra...

Agreed, thanks for kicking it all off. I was happy I finally zip tied some strips to some wire baking racks but seeing all this makes me want to step my game up. Look forward to seeing how you utilize the vesta's though. I have a few different Kelvin and cri strips that I plan on mixing and...

Man that looks awesome, thanks for sharing that. Did you piece together your supplement strips individually or did you get them produced from somewhere like cutter? I used an arcadia uvb bulb my last grow and liked it, but would be nice to keep things all led to help with light distance/dimming...

Thanks for clearing that up for him, I'm not very versed in the technical aspects of understanding it all fully so can't offer much beyond posting datasheets. I started looking at the seoul sunlike spectrum based off of @Grow Lights Australia initial highlights boards and the research they did...

Not really much of a help here, pretty new grower myself, but I found that ditching the bottled nutes and focusing more so on building up a soil simplified everything for me. Not saying that bottled nutes or other styles cannot grow healthy plants and good weed, but for me the more so organic...

Plants look beautiful sir. Also love seeing a spring tail army at work in the soil. Best of luck and look forward to seeing it all progress for toy.

http://www1.futureelectronics.com/doc/Seoul%20Semiconductor/SMJD-2423072G-XXN100C20C039ALL.pdf I think they also have some 144 diode strips with the same spectrum as well, not sure if they were 4 ft strips or not, but this was the only datasheet I bookmarked.

I've never used bloodmeal myself, but I'd probably avoid using it in a tea. I'd be concerned about possible pathogens since it is most likely coming from a slaughterhouse type setting and wouldn't want to help facilitate the growth of those microbes if possible. At least in the soil you have...

I saw that seoul produces strips now in the sunlike spectrum which gla used in their original boards. The datasheets are a bit suspect as far as exact spectrums for the different k temps though. I can post a link to the datasheets if you are interested. They seem to be a bit pricey, but could...

I bought two of their original highlights boards so a little bit more "basic" of a spectrum compared to their newer boards but have been really happy with them. I'm a novice grower without much experience myself, but I run them full cycle as I think my plants look healthier through veg under...

Yea, his build was awesome for those diodes. Definitely out of my realm as well though. I was looking around at random red diodes to maybe just apply to some single led starboards, thinking it may be a bit simpler. Again, even that seems daunting and really not fluent enough in soldering and...

I keep thinking it'd be nice to grab a bit more of some bulk type items like that just to have for people in the local area as things start to pick up. I'm not so handy at building things proper myself, but being able to walk people through an easy build with solid components seems likeit would...

Yea, the idea of getting 1500 watts for the price of those drivers and strips available right now seems crazy. Few hundred bucks for 1500 watts of light and a little ingenuity to piece it all together seems like a really budget friendly option.

https://www.samsung.com/led/support/tools/engine-calculator/ I like and also hope the calculator is accurate as far as specs on the strips.

Even these seem to be a better option, plus no tariff on these if that's applicable to you anyways. https://www.arrow.com/en/products/si-b8u11156hus/samsung-electronics?q=SI-B8U11156HUS The lm561c diodes are a little more efficient than the lm301a's on the influx strips but will need a little...

I'm really hating centipedes right now. I flipped over an avocado skin in one of my worms bins and saw 2 centipedes on there. While holding it up for a couple seconds, I watched them devour like 20 springtails, just gobbled em up instantly. I've noticed my worm population down a bit, still...

I dont see why you couldn't, just need to know what volts and amps your lights require and go from there it seems. I took apart an old free kind led a while back and played around with its components to get a better feel for diy things. Can't say I ever wired a meanwell to the blurple leds...

Nice to see some deals coming back around. Not buying anything else myself, but stumbled across these just looking around for $1.62. Not the lm301b diodes, but it's the lm561c which seems to be the next best in the samsung line atm and 3500k is pretty universal as far as spectrum...
