Yeah yeah yeah! I need that fire!

Try the link below to get ideas on strip builds. They don't need a heat sink, as I understand it, because they dissipate heat more evenly across the surface of the strip. As a result, you can mount them using the screw/bolt notches at the ends of the strip. With a rectangular frame, attaching...

Also, something like this can work Lasko #4006 Clip Stik Desk Fan 2-SPEED

While it may be more difficult to decarb QWET in the NOVA, as I understand it, the process is still possible. Once the ethanol is evaporated away, the remaining QWET can be transferred to a silicon container and decarbed in the NOVA.

That almost doubles the coverage. Thanks again!

Thank you Serva! As any new strips are likely from a different batch, I think it is safer to series wire them. Is the estimate of 9 strips closer to 8, or closer to 10?

Sorry this isn't Bridgelux, but I've seen other non-Bridgelux posts here. I have six Samsung SI-B8T07128SWW (S282F) with one Meanwell HLG-60H-C700A that I planned to build into a angle aluminum unit, before I got sidetracked and packed the parts into storage. I'm ready to assemble now, and it...

Heck, I have the aluminum for mine already and I'm thinking about stripping out an old fluoro fixture. Just for ease of use.

I think you may be right, but can you cite some research or just a background theory? All I can do is theorize based on why I believe it increases THC, that a resin increase acts as something of a sunblock. However, if that were true, then why would the ratios change as the UVB lessened...

I was joking, a bit. Even given that limited snippet, there's an inference that the ratio would change rather than an overall CBD content increase. Even more, it only addressed landrace varieties which must have been averaged to get some relevant statistics data. Most people have no idea where...

Well, shit, I want less UVB, then.

Thank you for breaking it down for me. I went to the calculator program page and it was intimidating but the way you explained it is much more manageable! From what I've heard, I should be aiming for 400-500 PPFD so I think you're right that 3 strips (even under driven more) would be closer to...

I figured, but thought it would be best to ask. Isn't PPFD more relevant than watts? Thank you for the driver recommendation, I am looking at the spec sheet now. Can anyone tell me what the PPFD would be for 6 of the 280mm strips, with that driver? It's the space I have, plus money/time...

Ok. I have a small file cabinet. 15" x 18" x 29". If I squeeze 10 of the EB 4k 10" strips in there, run on a HLG-185H-C700A but dimmed down a bit, will I be totally oversaturated for veg growth? And, if so, how many strips should I run in that space? Apologies for my inadequacy with driver...

only place I know of is horticulturelightinggroup.com, when they are in stock.

I finally have my boards and someone stole my mf driver off my doorstep, or else USPS lost it. RAWR!

You're welcome. I am relatively new to LED growing, though I am not new to growing in general. It has been a learning curve for me, but I think it is worthwhile and more cost effective to go the DIY route regardless of which option you choose. Just dig into the research. This is a great...

Hah, I just got my quantum boards but this looks like fun. Maybe I'll work something up for a little veg box.

Without any experience with that Platinum150 product, I cannot say. Search for it here, in the forums, and see if anyone else has used it. My guess, given the low watts and lack of detailed information (i.e. what specific brand/type of LEDs used in fixture) is that you would be better off...
