@MrTwist1 I'm confused about the wiring in series does this mean run positive to the first strip negative to the last and then wires coming off each respectable wire going to each additional strip

Also the drivers most of them are rated at 8 amp 200w it would seem if I ran two of these on the same cord that would blow my 15 amp breaker.

Also I found some from ecolocity and from Heraco lighting that are rated at 9.5 to 15.3 watts a foot. I want to attach these to heat sinks from the company's that they sell. But they are no where near the general rule of 40cm2 required by traditional LEDs not even close. Do these go by some unwritten rule that strips live by or can they just run hotter with out much lumen depreciation.

You wire series circuits as @Airwalker16 described above.

Which drivers are you looking at? I have a couple 200W drivers and they draw nowhere near 8A.

I only have experience with the Samsung Influx L09 strips so far. Mine are 56cm long and I cool them with extruded heatsinks of the same length at 2" profile. I only run them at upto 700mA and with a small PC fan blowing over them they barely even get warm.

Using information form this awesome thread;

You can work out how much heastink you need for your strips. You will need to know how efficient the struips are and how hard you wish to run them to work out how much heat you need to dissipate. Strips basically need the same cooling as other types of LED, but the heat is more spread.

Girls were harvested yesterday. Besides what's here hanging there's also another couple ounces on a drying rack. Thinking it will be around 12 oz total, 2 a plant is looking about right. Will report back later in the week after they're dried and weighed. Here's a few pictures in the meantime. Sorry for the shitty camera work.

Sorry for leaving the thread hanging for the past couple weeks. Didn't quite hit the 2oz a plant like I estimated.

Final weigh on what was probably leaning on the overdried side of things: 314g

I'm confident it could have been higher with a longer veg and/or larger pots. Also could have done a better job with the canopy and undergrowth management. I think that would have helped.

Rainbow Sherbet report:
Nice easy draw. Incredibly smooth inhale. Mine didn't change colors like I've seen others do. Was probably more my environment rather than the cut. The high is nice, for me an active, functioning effect. Kind of finicky to grow.

NextLight Mini report:

I like them. They did a great job. I'm happy with the results, the quality of the products and the quality of their customer service. These lights are great to blanket a 2x2 space with light. 2 thumbs up from me.

Hope everyone enjoyed the show. I do another run with the lights soon. Here's a pic of a few buds.
