Shoot man I apologize. That was a for instance. That calculation won't apply to your build. I'll try to edit so you can follow better For your case, if you have 24 strips, you will want to use 2 drivers.

Personally, I use 12 strips per 2x2 because they fit perfectly within the specs of the HLG-240-1050b driver. I use 3500k for the whole run and I'm not sure how I feel yet so I can't help much. I used to use 3000k Cree cobs and feel like they grew the plants faster. Could have been because of the...

Yeah I would go with the strips. If you want to mimic the sun then you want to go for diffusion of light. You can buy 12 strips and 1 hlg-240-1050b with no heatsinks per 2x2 and you have the max amount of diffusion and a beautiful par map. Build many 2x2 fixtures as you need (in your case you...

Just for fun as well, let's say you have 24 strips running at 1050mA without a heatsink. Totally ok. 12v per strip * 24 = 288v 288v * 1050mA = 302w driver. 6 strips stop working = 302w spread through 18 strips. 302w/(18*12v) = 1400mA. This could be hot enough to not only blow your leds, but...

Here is the video. Electric cow fence through the heart. No issues. Definitely dangerous, but he didn't suffer because the current is minuscule, which is the important part.

I'd like to state, they are both the same in terms of safety at the same current. Both will shock you because of the voltage levels. Being cognisant of the potential dangers is what will save people. Not babying them into a lower voltage driver. I've personally talked with Meanwell about the...

I've never understood the problems with high voltage drivers. With proper wiring they are a non issue. I have many strip modules running on the same driver. Foliar feed all the time. The strips were made to work with high voltages so no need to be afraid. I would be more afraid of thermal...

Just get a total of 24 strips. Buy 2 HLG-240-1050b drivers then dim to the power level you need. 24 strips fit perfect on the driver. Maybe more since you are using gen 3's

Get EB gen 2 or 3 strips. You can start with 12 strips on an HLG-240-1050b driver and after each grow continuously expand the light setup by adding more strips and drivers in increments of 12. I use them for everything. They are great lights that don't need a heatsink at 1050 mA

Feed more potassium. It has been shown to increase water pressure in the stalks, thereby making the stalks stronger. I feed it with Protekt silica.

I don't know if it has been mentioned. Mycodo here: https://github.com/kizniche/Mycodo It's a great environmental controller software that runs on a RPI. Supports a ton of input devices. Could help a lot of growers automate their space.

Check out Mycodo. Runs on RPI

Easiest way right here. Get this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JG8EJVW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is basically a high frequency relay. Allows you to control through pwm. Connect pin 1 -> arduino pwm out Connect pin 2 -> arduino ground Connect pin 3 -> dim + on...

There are two types of teas. Compost and Nutrient. You are correct in thinking that compost teas should only be compost and sugar. I too am confused when I read those complicated recipes. I doubt it even makes a good microbial tea when all those nutrients are added... Nutrient teas are the...

For the bubbler, use 1/4 inch soaker hose. For the pump, something large. Tube: https://www.amazon.com/Raindrip-015005T-4-Inch-50-Feet-Porous/dp/B000LNSX82/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1QVTUTBNLRGPO&dchild=1&keywords=1%2F4+inch+soaker+hose+tubing&qid=1586567539&sprefix=1%2F4+inch+soaker%2Caps%2C250&sr=8-1...

Great thread nonetheless! I may need to rig a diffusion screen under my lights.

Get the Aussie high light. It has UV and far red and higher than 90 CRI. It will produce some amazing bud in your space. I don't have it personally, I like to make my lights. They have a thread with bud pics so you can do proper research before you throw down cash. EDIT: The HLG is overrated...

Too high of concentration on the TLC plate is my guess. Shouldn't be an issue if you can make out the components. Try to get the dots a little smaller too.

Hey guys, I'm growing quite a few plants indoors and some are starting to yellow. I know there is a alfalfa / kelp tea around here for seedlings but I can't find it. I was going to go with 1/2 cup alfalfa and 1/4 cup kelp but I don't want to stunt any of these plants. Any recipes you guys use...

No kidding man! I want one just for shits and giggles. Buy four of those for a 4x4 at 150w each would blow any grow away!
