    Ground wire question

    I can almost guarantee that they just wire all three poles to give the customer the option of picking direction on the pot. Then they needed 3 wires for that, and probably had a metric shit-ton of that green/white/blue laying around from other projects. The color of the wire doesn't really mean...

    need lighting suggestion for micro grow box

    Honestly, I would just slap a 90w QB in there and call it a day. You could put together something using the strips, but it would be a bunch of effort for no real gains. Just by the looks of it, the QB seems to be a perfect fit for your space; checks all the boxes for your requirements. Plus, all...

    High End COBs vs $2 COBs...

    https://led.cdiweb.com/ProductDetail/CLU0381208C4303M2K1--citizen/590599/ I'm running a mix of 3000k and 5000k. Check my sig for the thread. Holders for these are a little harder to find, but they are definitely out there. Citizen has a COB for every budget and application. Lots more than the...

    Ground wire question

    Yes, but make sure that ground is also connected to the ground pole of your wall plug, otherwise none of that will work.

    High End COBs vs $2 COBs...

    My CLU038s were $7 a pop, come from a quality manufacturer, and deliver 160lm/w(ish) at 700ma. Plus they're good all the way up to like 2.1a. I see no reason to waste money on low quality parts, regardless of where they come from.

    Ground wire question

    Always ground your driver, and the frame of your light fixture. There is no reason not to and it's an extra bit of safety.

    need lighting suggestion for micro grow box

    I'll be putting together a veg light for my cab using those strips very soon. The one ft. strips only run about 11 watts each at 500ma, you might need 6-8 to get some solid results.

    need lighting suggestion for micro grow box

    Looks like a single QB would be perfect in that space. Low profile, even spread, minimal heat.

    Thanks! Probably another 5 days or so, I think. I'm just starting to get the tiniest signs of sex, but my noob ass isn't comfortable making the call quite yet. Ideally, I want them to sex before they hit the net then I'll flip and start weaving em in.

    0-10v dimming (on/off) with new version Meanwell HLG Drivers

    Gotcha. ELGs will work, not quite as efficient though I guess. Post it up if you find a good source for the 240s!

    0-10v dimming (on/off) with new version Meanwell HLG Drivers

    All the "B" versions have 0-10v external dimming leads. If you're referring to the dim-to-off feature like the 320/480/600 I would just call Mouser and ask if they have them. If they're available I'm sure Mouser would have a couple to sell.

    Converting a shed..

    Check out Crazy Dago on YouTube, dudes got a similar setup running perpetual in coco. No idea what he's harvesting per month, but my guess is much less than 3-5 pounds.

    Flat white paint or mylar?

    Use Killz, it primes, covers, and seals all at once. Plus you don't have to make a bunch of staple holes in your walls or worry about tearing it.

    Day 21: Transplant day again! This time to 3 gallon Geo Pots, $2 a pop is hard to beat. The girls were a little grumpy about the move, but they got a light feeding of the GO nutes and after a few hours they seem to be perking up a bit. It's a little crowded in here right now, we're definitely...

    Day 20: I need to transplant tomorrow, roots comin out all over now. I'll top #1 at the same time cause shes a big gal. Gained an inch since yesterday. #5 seems to be lagging a bit now, not sure if it'a a nutrient issue, or the bugs. I've definitely got thrips, and probably fungus gnats too...

    Right now, 1 gallon pots, so about 3.8 liters. They're going into 3 gallon pots tomorrow though. I've already got roots poking out the bottom! I'll top the sativa and only LST the indicas so they can catch up a bit. Then they're all going under a SCROG for sure.
