The 4k is also 90 CRI

No, they didn't inform me of anything, their site showed 100 in stock when I ordered the 60.

Holy shit, I didn't even think of that, lol. I ended up prying them off of the tape. It would have been so much easier unscrewing the L brackets. Unbelievably stupid. I just hope I did not damage them in the process.

I'm new to this, so this is a noob question. Is there a potential for damaging the strips pulling them off the tape? Are they fragile. I've tried takeing one off and it was really on there (that tape is sticky as hell), and I had to bend it quite a bit to pry it up. Is that ok?

I'm in the middle of building my lights, and I'm pressed for time because my veg plants are ready to go. I'm building lights for a flower room and purchased EB Gen 3 CRI 90 3000k. I purchased 60 2 ft strips for 2 lights for 2 4x4 spaces. I was sent 40 3000k and 20 4000k. I'm just realizing this...

They are 8 weekers, a new strain and not one I'll do again. Not blaming it all on the plant but they have not been very vigorous throughout.

Should I do a plain water ph flush?

Wondering how hard it is to put together strips from LM301b diodes? I'd like to try this more for my own amusement. Do the diodes need to be soldered to the substrate, or are there other methods? The Samsung strips that I've bought there is no visible wiring, how do they do that? I know it is...

Indoor Flood and drain 6 weeks into flower Not used to this system, flood and drain in buckets, watering once per day. PPMs where rising pretty high after each watering so I backed way off on the nutes for about 3 days. I went down to about 800 PPM. I also recently sprayed them with a h2o2...

My bad. I wasn't trying to bash HGL, that other company didn't list the number of diodes so I checked HGL and I couldn't find it on their product page and specs. But since you took the time to laud HGL I will say that I've had excellent experiences with Kingbrite, quality products down to the...

I'm curious, are companies like this building their own strips from raw Samsung diodes or are these already manufactured strips? And why does this company and others like HLG never tell how many diodes are being used?

Driver is HLG-320H-C2800A. Strips are EB Gen 3 2 foot - 19.1v average and 700mA nominal.

I am using wagos, It was just easier to communicate "wire nut" in the diagram, for some reason. I bought a bunch of 5 lever because I originally had a different wiring config, but I only need 4 level. But I am used to wire nuts and they work just fine.

About to wire my LED Strips and want to make sure I get it right. I am wiring 15 2 foot strips per driver in a series of 3 set of 5, and then those 3 sets paralleled together. In other words 5 strips series together 3 times, and then those 3 sets of 5 in parallel. My diagram is not the best...

I'm adhering my EB gen 3 strips to aluminium with thermal tape, this stuff: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075F37SQG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Is this strong enough, meaning sticky enough, to hold the strips in place without any other fastener? Not sure if I need to...

My only problem with running them at 480w is I'm sure I would need actual heatsinks, and the best price I can find is from heatsink usa and the price is more than my LED strips, it's the shipping that kills me.

30 2ft strips per 4x4 so I was going to mount them 2 per 4ft L bracket and wire 15 - 5 series 3 parallel.

So, I ended up just buying 4 of the HLG-320H-C2800b. If I need it these will do 540w per 4x4, but I doubt if I'll ever run it that high as I don't have proper heatsinks, just 1x1 aluminum L brackets. I'm hoping I can run them at 400w (700mA per strip) close to the plants (like 18 inches) and not...

Thanks all. Good stuff! This was a really good resource. I looked hard at those graphs and feel like I was able to get a good approximation of the CRI 90 3000k. I did not know that about the slims being higher diode count. Great information in this post. It is very difficult to find any EB...

This is what I wanted to know. I'm trying to decide between 2 drivers, one would give me 540w, I would probably turn the current down to hit closer to 480w. And the other one has a max of 400w. The 400 is obviously more efficient, and a bit cheaper. But everyone is talking about 30w/ft2, and I'm...
