I've got two plants currently vegging under these boards right now and they seem to be doing well. I have a lot of other options I could have vegged under, but out of laziness and wanting to see first hand how these more so "flowering boards", I decided to keep these hung up in the tent full...

Man I keep playing out the same scenarios with drivers for my strips as well trying to find the best match. I look forward to seeing what you end up going with though. Sorry if I missed it, but have you looked at the xlg line? they have some interesting options as far as wiring possibilities...

I got some from @Grow Lights Australia . Not sure if they still have some, but shoot them an email and they may be able to hook you up.

From my understanding you will need some drainage holes for the bottom, yes. I never really looked much into how people have done their outdoor bins, so hopefully they will come around soon and guide you further.

That thing looks like it was made to start a worm bin in. I would just make sure to have it set up so the liquid can drain from the bottom in some fashion. I haven't had a bin nearly that size though, I have 2x27 gallon totes and a 19 gallon tote. Mine are all indoors, but I imagine yours will...

I think you kind of answered your own question in all that. From my understanding, the larger volume content of 5 gallons vs 1 gallon directly allows for a larger microbe population, but I don't think either will necessarily be more or less "concentrated" as far as what you are looking for in a...

Those f strips look awesome and seem like they can crank out a ton of light. It's crazy how hard you can run those compared to my bridgelux gen3 strips I got. I think I settled on doing 8 strips per fixture, not sold on whether I will use an hlg-100 or an xlg-100 yet though. I will be a little...

Looks awesome man. I knew I had read a lot of your stuff in the led section, I just find myself reading everything lately and forget it all almost instantly hah. I have bought a lot of different led type stuff lately too and the newest being some strips. I will put it all together one of these...

I don't know if you have read through this site or not, but http://microbeorganics.com/ was a good source for me when I brewed my first couple teas. I haven't used one in a long time only because I don't have a space near my plants that I can do it, but followed his general approaches on how i...

futureelectronics has both the 80cri and 90cri gen3 4k strips in stock, roughly $6 and $7 each respectively. I know you looking for a smaller number of strips than the minimum 20 required on their site. Maybe you could find some other use for the remaining left over strips. Just figured id try...

I never used azomite personally, but I use a hefty amount of minerals when I mix up a new batch. I ended up using like 2 cups of basalt and 3/4 cup of st george black per cubic foot on the last batch of soil I mixed up. So I would think you will be ok with this amount of azomite added. (edit...

Just to be reassured, I sent an email to future electronics about the strips and this was their response regarding the strips I purchased. "We had an issue with a shipment from Bridgelux where they sent product under the wrong order number. This was an isolated incident. Please verify the...

Yea, I got mine in like 4 days from placing the order.

Yea the strips I got are all labeled with the correct product code. I'll put a picture up tomorrow morning when I get off work for you.

Yea, I got the 4k 90cri strips. Yea sorry, should have said 560mmx24mm as opposed to whatever mm the slim ones are.

They are the 24mm gen3 series which I was even more stoked about

Is it possible that maybe the plant just grew and adapted to its surroundings of the light being delivered through the frosted lens and when you removed it, you unnaturally altered its enviornment? Glad you on the up and up though sir and the lettuce is looking good.

I personally use as little bottled things as possible. Only three bottles I have are fish hydrolysate, therm x(yucca extract), and em1. I am in the camp of building the soil full of all the nutrients and then maintaining the soil via a topdress or a nute tea if needed during the grow. That said...

Thanks again for the help guys. I think ima go with the xlg-150-h-a per 10 strip fixture. I dont really see myself running them that hard, but I'll just adjust the current down to fit my applications. I did call a metal shop close to me and ordered some 1 inch wide x 1/8th inch thick aluminum...

Yea that seems like a solid option at roughly half the price too. Thanks for all the info from you guys though, hopefully I can get everything else soon and make it all work.
