Thats 6 plants (4 different strains) in a 5x10x7 space to give you size reference. The one in the left middle was one that had more issues so its a little smaller than the ones around it, but theyre all pretty close in size.

This is my first grow also.
First indoor grow ever???

Hey mate, nice score! But I'm confused :confused: Weren't you negotiating these at around US$48 per board?

US$15.50 for two boards seems outrageously cheap! :o
240w??? And all you paid was 15 bucks? You must have went somewhere else on Alibaba than I did... I need to see who you saw!!!

That's what's up... Doing a good job sir!!!
Thanks!! It's something I've wanted to do for many years and plan to continue to do for many to come, so I jumped all in off the bat.
Im ok with learning through failure and wanted to get a good grasp on a lot of things this grow so i went full in with rdwc and a bunch of different strains. So far ive learned about over and under watering seedlings and young plants, root rot, light leaks in my root zone, temp issues in individual sites, various signs of under/over feeding because you cant please all of them sometimes, heat stress and high humidity due to inadequate fan size, how much you can bend a young plant before it snaps, and that if it doesnt break all the way through you can tape it up and itll recover just fine.
thankfully, I have hardly had to worry about my lights at all. I just let them grow up to within a few inches of the panels then i raised them and turned up the power, they seem to be happy with it so far.

Yes i seem to have things dialed in pretty well with the setup now. The veg ended up longer than intended, but i wanted to give all of them a chance to recover fully and catch up a bit. Found all my issues early so everythings been smooth sailing for the last month.

I wired them up to a cheap driver to make sure they lit up, as you do.

Each board should cover a 2ft x 2ft, 609.6mm x 609.6mm area.
I suppose I'll get around to testing the boards at some stage.
Very interested of these boards, especially how hard you can run them without heatsink.
The ease of the fotop boards has got me hooked ;)

Also, what are the dimensions on these boards?
