Dang, guess I was wrong in assuming this sale would run til midnight Nevada time. BF22 hath expired.

Sweet, that’s definitely a game changer. Might not be able to find anything well known in regular seeds, but I suppose even the most oddball cross could give me beans and allow for pheno hunting of something that most closely resembles the original female. Thanks!

Could you not just go OCD on veg tent management and training? I used to do what you're talking about but took cuts the day I moved plants in to flower. Cuts would chill in the cloner for ~2 weeks and then I'd put them in small pots of coco for the next 45 days or so until they too were ready...

Well, trying to keep this as slim of a post as possible and already deleted a wall of text. The long and short of it is that I'm moving from a very friendly state to a very unfriendly state. This means I won't be able to buzz down to the dispensary and pick up some clones, a luxury I've been...

I gave away my 4 x QB132, 9 x CLU048-1212 build for reasons I can't exactly justify a couple months ago. Frame, heatsinks, fans, mean wells, the whole thing. Hadn't used it (haven't grown) in a couple years and it sucked to store, but I should have just dismantled it and stored the pieces...

Idunno, he was talking about dimmer lines in parallel... I run a 185 and 480 pigtailed together in to a male power inlet like on the back of a computer tower PSU. They both get power when the timer kicks on, dimmer operates them independently. Something tells me he was talking about dimming...

Not sure what happens with three, and can't remember if I noticed anything weird stacking two. Like maybe each driver independent is 228w at the wall full blast, dimmer set to 0 (full brightness, 255 being least bright). You'd expect 228*2w or there about if you paralleled them, but you're...

I built a few versions of these for multiple veg tents I had. Total cost per unit is like $4.50. Sadly I can't find the code I was running on these, and I built them 2 years ago... so I need to check out a bunch of flash drives for a backup. Each box supports two drivers or driver groups (you...

Spose my thought was that say a 4 foot section of the black extrusion would be significantly more material than say the CPU water blocks used by OP. Heat would be distributed throughout the large run of thick aluminum before a ton of heat went to the air, and both passages with water flowing...

Doesn't seem terribly expensive if you build the remainder of the frame out of cheaper aluminum, $27 for a 4 foot section of this stuff. The profile I initially posted wasn't really the one I was looking for, but one I found on google images since you can't copy image on 8020's website. Screen...

Is that pic pointing out the waterproof driver or the thing above (not sure what that is) I see the point of trying to reclaim as much heat as possible for max efficiency, but I'm happy if I can find a cheaper alternative to pin heatsinks, a cleaner approach than active cooling through fans...

So if your cut tube ends aren't perfectly square you'll leak? Seems kind of janky and a lot of extra bulk

So I buy the aluminum tube with a flange like eztube's offerings? Then plug the end with a plastic cap, epoxied, and drill the plastic cap for a water fitting? Hell, something like this might work without water cooling even, if each 2 foot section is only cooling two cobs running at ~50w...

I'd like to tap some 80/20 extrusions that come with the hole that goes all the way through. Tapping and using some proper elbow fitting with teflon tape would be sweet, but the tubing diameter would be like 1/4" ID at biggest... I think the hole that goes through the extrusion is smaller than...

I'm trying to figure out the correct amount of light for my 4x4 tents (two of them) One tent has an (HLG-240H-C2100 -> 3 Vero 29) + (2 HLG-185H-C1400 -> 8 1212's) for probably near 700 wall-watts on full blast. It killed it this run and produced some monster colas, no heat issues. Ran the...

Guess I had the rare failure - I used Wago lever connectors and disconnected/reconnected the power and output sides probably 5 times (while redundantly checking all solder connections) over the course of a few stoned months... eventually swapping them for new connectors - still no dice. The...

Is there any obvious component I can replace inside a Meanwell 480H-C1400 (or.. a reset switch? Yeah, I'm dreaming) I set up a 9 COB (CLU048-1212's) light on a single 480H-C1400 and it ran well for two or three weeks. I opened my flowering tent at some point during the flower cycle and the...

I guess that was part of the question, I wasn't sure if I had skimped on light for a 4x4. That light is on its maiden flowering cycle right now and plants just seem stunted if I exceed about ~70% power even at 2 feet canopy height. I'll try to crank it higher in a bit as I near 35ish days of...

^Roger that, I've always believed that too but it wasn't until recently that I started paying attention to things like the voltage rating of wiring, Been swamped with work but finally got this 9 cob light assembled. I was going to test this in a 4x4, but should I entertain quantum boards in...

Sorry, yes, my wire is 18 gauge. The 600v is stamped on the jacketing, and if I'm not mistaken I wouldn't want to be running 300v through 18 gauge wire wrapped in insulation that I can scrape off with my fingernail, like doorbell(er..thermostat) wire, right? That stuff tends to not even be...
