    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Hmm. So the Bridgelux equivalent was tested at 2800mA 30.2v which isn't far off. They list their maximum as high as 3750mA.

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Lack of information is actually kind of frustrating with them. Everywhere I see says they run at 3200mA 32-36v but none of the sources state if that's a maximum, normal, low... Like CREEs are all tested at a super low very efficient mA but I could see the Chinese testing them really high just...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Yeah, we'll have to see how long they last. They are being run at whatever the drivers provide and the chips want to pull - supposedly 3000mA 20-38v which for mine are running at 29-32v. Regarding running two from a single driver - it would work till I burn the driver out. I'm not too...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    It's a 100w array - 100x1w being run at near full power, the warm white is running at 96w at the array (not the plug/driver) and the cool white is at 87w. The heat sync is only 5.5"x6". It is a rather heavy one with a .3" base but 250+w would be a bit much for it to dissipate regardless of fan...

    That fan I have on top of the warm white is overkill - I could have gone with a much smaller lower power one, but there's no way you're getting more than perhaps a 120w array on the same size heat sync, and I wouldn't suggest that. Now if you went with a bigger heat sync you could. Or if you...

    Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w

    Thank you, but to play devils advocate: -Assembly time per unit was less than 45 minutes. -I only used two sources - a single buyer on ebay and heatsync USA. (Very simple purchasing) -No need for brainstorming on my behalf - I went with cheapest and asked for the driver made for em. No need to...

    Drug test for welfare

    Apparently it doesn't support your lifestyle... You earn two years worth of income in 9 months and need to rely on handouts? And you've been doing this for 10 years? And haven't saved a dime? I hate to pick on you but this is bad practice. It's an abuse of the system. Do you look for work...

    If you plan to sit around for three months collecting benefits once a year for the rest of your life... yes. Sorry.

    Drug test for welfare

    You talk about being poor like it's a forced title. You realize that if you don't want to be poor you don't have too... He could get a second job and save instead of being poor... Most people that get rich had to go through a shitty shitty not fun time to get there.

    Drug test for welfare

    It's based on how much you once earned but does not correlate to how much you've paid in. You can take out MUCH MUCH more than you've paid in.

    Drug test for welfare

    I'm just worried about him. And annoyed. Not treating it as safety gaurd but actually planning on it using it as an income source once a year. Wow... not what it was intended for.

    Oh god... You know SS is drying up right? Yikes... Would you have more money if you didn't buy pot? You must have a strong grip on good economic principles.

    Drug test for welfare

    UB you think the majority of farmers that grow subsidized crops sit around doing nothing all day? That they don't have jobs? We're talking majority here not outlier. They the same as people sitting at home smoking crack living off benefits? I'm against most farm subsidies but they are...

    Drug test for welfare

    What farmers get paid not to farm? And why? And whose fault is that? And what do these few bizarre farmers have to do with the subject? Are they on welfare? By all means go after the absurb laws enabling this shit -...

    Drug test for welfare

    I keep hearing different numbers. I was originally against this idea because of cost but are you saying it only cost the state $45,780? Wow... crazy tiny number. And to think of how many people straight up didn't file claims. None of the articles address indirect savings.

    Drug test for welfare

    Oh, I was just hoping. I can't imagine having such a silly business plan. Can you imagine if everyone with a seasonal job just went broke out of season? Yikes... But if that's acceptable I think I might have to go be a pot smoking ski lift attendant in Florida. I'm sure I'll have a job for...
