I built my own 6 board fixture for a 4x4, each pair of boards is powered by an hlg240. I’m more than happy with it and it’s pumping out some really great weed.

@NapoleonBlownapart as rocket said, I can’t even dream of getting close to maxing out. Maybe with CO2 but that’s not how I grow due to a 24/7 vented tent. On my second run with it and I tried getting it above 530w but the plants said “uh uh”. So far I’ve found it’s super easy to maintain 80-85f...

It’s usually wiser to stick with some more known companies which have been stated in this thread. I’m not saying that these ones won’t work or be great. You just don’t know what your getting until you get it and Alibaba can be an unforgiving place sometimes. for full cycle I would recommend...

I second the Highlights from grow lights Australia. Four of those would absolutely rock that space. Better spectrum than HLG, you could also go with two of them but you would need heatsinks for the desired wattages.

Here’s a pic from when I vegged a 4x4 with it. Solid growth and a fast pace

Just eyeballed it’s for the most part. For a 3x3. Just draw a box and work out the spacing to obtain equal distances Between boards and walls.

Definitely go for the two 135w. Or try and see if you can grab two boards and the applicable driver to power both. This vegged a 4x4 beautifully but would rock a 3x3 in veg and flower.

Looks good, the added spectrums are nice as well. Is this going to be a full cycle light or just veg or just flower?

Anytime man. The waterproof idea is great but just seems like an up sell due to them not bringing any new real innovation to market. Like adding a spoiler to a car and saying it’s a brand new model. The one benefit I could see would be the lack of calcium deposits if you run a humidifier and...

I’m really enjoying my Kingbrite boards. My recommendation would be to save your money in regards to the waterproof boards and go with the older style. I’ve never had an issue with excessive moisture affecting the boards or connections. also look for the kit that included two separate boards...

I used an Meanwell hlg-80h-c700 to power them.

Awesome man! I’m excited to see how the geek light fixtures perform. I’ve always liked the technology they incorporate into their fixtures so it will be cool to see it in action!

Kingbrite also sell QB11 copies in 450-460, 630, 660, 730, 385 I run 4 of their qb11 730 strips in my 4x4 and they're beauty. If you wanna support away from a China, I’m sure the other options would be even better quality.

My plants after I install them and run them for the first time.

I’m hopping on the T5 UV train, been thinking about it for a while so expect a shit ton of questions and pictures in the coming months lol. I got my hands on some Zoo Med reptile fixtures with the 5.0 uvb bulbs, just waiting on the 10.0 bulbs to be shipped. 2 X 48” for the flower tent and 2 X...

Woooord up to that! The wiring was a piece of cake. Less time wiring = more time sampling bongsmilie

I haven’t mapped it out yet, I planned to have my buddy come over to map it with his apogee but he was busy and I had plants that needed to flip so well have to wait another 8 weeks. I plan to get him over once I install the T5 units to get a good idea of what the spectrum and intensity levels...

Yezzzir issa 4x4. Pushing over 500w stressed out two out of the three plants a bit, the purple one was loving it though. I’m sure with the right light hungry strain and 600w, the yield would be quite impressive. The light has the capability of doing 720w which I doubt it will ever see. She gets...

The layout I went with still makes me smile. Rock solid colas from edge to edge, corner to corner. Can’t beat that. If anyone is thinking about going with separate heat sinks, don’t think, just do it.

Agreed, I have a feeling that shipping costs are just randomly calculated based on their profits at the moment. This is their way of trying to recoup from the shut down. also @predd I’m not sure if you have the option available but see if you can use Visa or MC as they offer some extra buyer...
