    Led strip build

    I’m also considering sticking with my solar cure flower power. I don’t know how well they will work being 6 inches from the canopy though. Anyone got any input in this? I figure I can have 1 fixture per square meter directly in the center of the sqm but I’m not sure on how well the coverage...

    Led strip build

    So I have saved myself a fortune. It turns out I can use my 36b drivers I already have. So I now intend to buy 528 Samsung f series 56mm 3000k strips and use with 12 HLG-600H-36b drivers. Each driver would put out 384w for a total of 4609w to cover approximately 130sqft of canopy. Each...

    HLG-600h Drivers voltage adjustment

    Right so I have had an issue with trying to figure out if you can use 36b drivers on 23v led strips for a while now. During my searching I have seen a few people asking this question over the years on different threads here. I can say I have a concrete answer now for anyone interested. I...

    Led strip build

    Compared to f strips in general they looked expensive. I guess it’s because digikey gives me a massive discount due to bulk buying 500 cutter doesn’t

    Led strip build

    So can I use hlg-600h-36b drivers on 23v strips? The data sheet says “constant current region 18-36v” but doesn’t explain exactly what that means. If I can use these drivers and have 16.7a per driver at 23v I’d get 384w per driver and I can get Away with using all the drivers I’ve already got.

    Led strip build

    Right so I aim to have 3 flood trays 14ft by 3.8ft each tray will have 176 Samsung f series 56mm single strips. 528 strips in total with 8 HLG-600H-24 drivers. Can anyone tell me if my driver will still output 600w if the led strips are 23v or so I lose wattage as the voltage is dialled down?

    Led strip build

    Good point I got mixed up. UVB starts at 315. I wonder if a reliable manufacturer makes a 315 diode

    Led strip build

    Is it not possible at all for us to build our own strips using some individual 280mm diodes yet?

    Led strip build

    Yeah I currently have solacure bulbs but they won’t fit in my footprint of the short sog I’m designing anymore. I too believe it’s the missing link for dank indoor buds. The price of the strips on that link you posted from cutter seems insane though

    Led strip build

    Yeah it’s 6m x 6m I may run slightly less space but atm its 6m x6m. I was looking at cutter but the price compared to f strips was nuts when I’d need like 550 strips

    Led strip build

    Also would you recommend the 3000k strips or the 3500k. They will be used for straight 12/12 from Well rooted clones

    Even with co2 and aiming for highest ppfd possible without light burning?

    Led strip build

    So far my plan was going to use 6 strips per square ft and 50w per sqft is that overkill? Samsung f series 56mm single row spread evenly 6 per sqft that is but 6 strips would do 2 sqft

    Led strip build

    I’m planning on building a low height SOG with co2. Anyone got any advice on spacing and wattspersqft for led strips to achieve this? I will end up having the tips of the plants possibly 6 inches away from the strips near the end. My goal is to have 1100ppfd 6 inches away from the leds and...

    Best grow method for sog?

    New consideration - stick to 4 plants per sq ft Which would mean I’d only need 576 clones every 8 weeks. Im thinking I can build the tables strong enough so that I can walk on them. That way I don’t need to make a pathway and I can do a total of 4m x 4m of growing area. Walk on the tables...

    Best grow method for sog?

    Full of good ideas cheers never thought about staggering the flooding. Ideally I want to have a single harvest as I don’t know if it’s a good idea to try and manage 5 different trays at different stages, different ppm ranges etc. I imagine it being a nightmare. Perpetual is something that...
