I always say let people grow with whatever on their first grow, I grew some great suff with cheap LED's back in the day, just not very much of it. They're a good way to get started but leave you wanting more pretty quick. Some of my best plants were grown under a burple LED/HPS hybrid light. As...

@Tejashidrow the LPC-60-1400 is a pretty good driver. Average watt per sqare area depends on what you're trying to do. I run 18 watts over 6 sq feet for clones, and I've ran as much as 40w per sq foot for flower in a 4x4

oh, I also just got a regular par meter instead of my spectrometer so I'll be taking a lot more PAR maps this week and weekend.

Glad I'm following this thread.... For anyone who hasn't been able to get ahold of me, apologies if I haven't gotten back to you. I'm still running a 1 man startup and my instagram DM's stack up faster than I can answer them so photon.fantom.designs@gmail.com is the best way to reach me. I...

I'd like to say that I verified Growcob5 was the guy that was hyping my boards, claims to have gotten 34 DM's since posting about them (despite denying that he was hyping my boards) I want make it clear that I am not affiliated with this individual in any way and he does NOT own any of my...

You're not talking about the same board because I test mine at common drive currents, then let the boards thermally stabilize, then record the voltage. I've talked to cobkits and we have the same equipment, I might have a better bench top power supply than him now because I just got a new one. I...

HLG gets Quantum Boards made at the same place too so any irregularities I would have, they would have. However, I've only had 1 diode break off a board during shipping, which was my fault. I've shipped almost 1000 of these and that's the only one I've had to replace. Also I test 1/4 of the...

You know, I think I know who this is. He doesn't actually own any of my lights. He's emailed me maybe 3 dozen times asking for a hookup/discount/sponsorship and said he was hyping them on RollItUp and 'was about' to start a youtube channel. I finally even gave in because I was getting 2-3 emails...

That's weird, got a link to that guy? I have no idea who that would be.

I agree, I wish it was cheaper to mix the diodes up so there's a more even spread of all the wavelengths. It's really only an issue if your plants are 6" or closer, at 12" the spectral graph doesn't change too much as you move the probe around under the board. On the Wavy boards I put the blue...

Mine is 8 Fusion Boards. It's also enormous at 36"x40" - The white one was the first one I built, back when I only had 4000k SunBoards. I used a MeanWell HLG-320-1050 to power all 8 boars in series. It did great in veg. This was back when the S5 flux bin best you could get. Now I use the same...

I keep the tops of my plants 6-12" from my lights but I saw from other companies that it was pretty common to post a PPFD chart at 18" so I thought I'd see how my fixture stacked up. And you're right bout the front door of the tent being open, I assumed I had the fixture a little skewed but that...

Hey everyone! Cool to see a thread about my boards here. The data on these comes from an Ocean Optics Flame Series Spectroradiometer that's been modified to less than .5mn resolution. So the SunBoards are straight 1 color of diode. I'm making them for people who want all white LEDs, so people...

16 of the sunboards? Looking forward to your build with them, and I'm working on those strips you wanted.
