    Is it worth spending £3500 on led lights???

    I meant more like wattage/SF, yield/SF, yield/watt etc.

    nice garden, what do the metrics look like?

    ground wire gauge

    NEC allows for downsizing of ground conductors maybe youre just used to pulling romex where the ground is the same size? for any commercial electricians who size conductors and conduits, this is pretty common knowledge. in most cases (depending on circuit load) you can get away with one size...

    HLG 300v2 dimmed to minimum, will i ruin my yield?

    2 foot away dimmed as low as it will go might keep them alive but wont grow good buds get yourself a meter also no reason to keep a hard limit of 80 deg with LEDs you have some latitude as your leaf temp is lower

    HLG 300v2 dimmed to minimum, will i ruin my yield?

    at lower currents yield/watt goes up, while yield/square foot goes own. Heat stressed plants yield low with poor quality, so you need to get past that no reason to have your boards 2" from the canopy get yourself at least a $150 hydrofarm meter, you'll be amazed how little you knew about the...

    Is it theoretically possible to "mod" a HLG driver from a 1750mA to 2100mA?

    they all outperform the datasheet. per NEC code all ballasts are supposed to be derated they usually test out EXACTLY at what the test report says in my experience (though specs do change over time)

    sell old driver>buy right driver cost you $20-$30 at most

    ground wire gauge

    usually one size less than the main conductors is spec'd for AC. for a ground wire on 11A 16GA would be fine. the meanwell will shut itself down in short order

    LED clone light suggestion

    the $5 bulbs at home depot the 15W will do a 10x20 tray easily

    CLU058 grow update

    ive run the chips themselves to over 400W personally

    CLU058 grow update

    im not aware of any heatsinks drilled for the 058 holders that can be run that hot. the mechatronics i sell require bare chip mounting and soldering of chips. ive never seen a bjb used over 150W

    CLU058 grow update

    you need to dim the chips down to barely lit to see the rows out. or look up with welder mask screw size is depended on what the heatsinks are drilled for. M3x6 or M3x8 most common bjbs are typically not reusable, if you unmount them and twist and 'unscrew'' them, you might get a second use...

    sorry peeps, its my second job/hobby and i learned not to take on more than i can handle, as i dont want customer service to suffer. id rather have fewer customers that are well served than get too big for my britches the loyal customers we have keep coming back and that means the world to...

    Personal experiences using LED in general and also Far Red - Faster Finishing Times.

    agreed ops stuff looks hungry. when i find myself in that position there is not much you can do. when they finish early they are hard to flush id rather run without any yellowing up until last week or so, cut nutes in half for 3-5 days then pure water for a week. i used to push harder into...

    theres plenty of 45-50 day strains. they dont yield much and are almost always indo dominant

    CLU058 grow update

    nice, i still use my 058 rig the luminus cxm22 are more efficient than the gen5s and less than half the cost, and more durable imo. have had lots of returns on the gen 6 058s with rows out (and almost none on 048s) larger chips def more delicate

    Personal experiences using LED in general and also Far Red - Faster Finishing Times.

    i mean it could have its applications. if you want your clones six weeks from now with 20 shoots each seems that for most people taking a vigorous shoot and getting it to grow roots in 1-2 weeks without losing its vigor works better

    Personal experiences using LED in general and also Far Red - Faster Finishing Times.

    for sure. if you cut clones from thinned bottom branches that had any more than a few 12/12 cycles, even if they dont look like they are flowering you set the hormones in motion and they will flower while rooting

    90 cri alone shaves off 5-7 days from my experience
