What do you think would be better than 6 Area 51 w90 panels for a 4x4 grow area?
The price for these is just the over $1000. It's nice because if one breaks, there's 5 other units.
But whatcha think? Thanks

Other than they drive them a bit hard, I do like the flexibility and daisy chain options with those W90's, don't think you can go wrong with support from A51, go for it!

I think I'm gonna go for it. I have 4 rw150s already in a 4x4 tent. And another 2 w100s that I plan to put in the center of the other 4x4 flowering area and surround with 6 w90s. It's the only way I can cover the full 4x4 using the two w100s I have.
Or I could just not use the w100s and keep them as a backup and just use 6 w90s.
The flood tray is 3x3 so I may not be using the entire 4x4 anyways. Idk yet

The Vero 29 doesnt gain efficiency as well as some other cobs when underdriven, and they seem to be one of the most reliable we driven hard.
I think that chip was designed for resonance and slightly above.

Ho yes...it is 4x50/55w @1400mA over a 3.5x3.5x4.5...200w only! Crazy!
I made the vegg under those 3500º(28 days in 1gl and 8d +17d 12/12 in 3gl soil!)only organic amendments and tap water+ molasse 1/w!

I'm not too big on diy electronics. I just ordered 6 of the w90s at 4000k
Gonna probably put the 2 w100s in the center and 3 w90s along each side of them. It'll be more coverage than needed for a 4x4 but better more than not enough.

What do you all think is the best way to get the most out of your flood tables.
I'll have one 2x4 flood tray for mothers/clones/short veg
And 2 3x3 flood trays for flower. I'm thinking of doing quick grows. Give the clones 2 weeks to root, then veg for a week and flower. I think I could fit 9 plants in each this way. I'm gonna play around with different ways but my goal is to crop out every month from either flowering trays.
Give me some feedback:) thanks!

I have a bunch of 5",8" net pots, and a bunch of 12" tall mesh bottom buckets. The only thoughts on the buckets is how is the top of the bucket going to get water if the tray is only flooding 4-5 inches tops. I feel like there is a simple way to figure this out using what I already have. I want to use the hydroton as I have so much. And id like to use the larger buckets.. Wondering if I should make one of the flood trays into a drip feeding system. Or combine ebb and flow and a drop system to make sure all of the roots in the tall pots get water.
