    Let's take this shitty led apart and let's design a better one!

    Ah, that makes more sense. I thought I read that the drivers were wired together in series as well as the arrays, not a single driver to two arrays in parallel.

    Let's take this shitty led apart and let's design a better one!

    So how would one array failing cause the other to burn out?

    Let's take this shitty led apart and let's design a better one!

    I don't know much about LEDs/electricity so this might seem really stupid and be totally ass backwards but... I thought these constant current drivers varied in voltage out but not mA out (or they wouldn't be constant current). So if you had say two 350mA 25-100v supplies in series they...

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    Yeah they are definitely liking the light - I just hope I have enough of it :) You like the watermark? It gets auto added to all uploaded pictures from now on. I might be a nerd but don't think I'm manually adding that to each picture ;)

    368 watt CFL veg cab/600 watt HPS flower cab perpetual journal

    Ah, gotta love nice packed flowering areas. Great job utilizing all of that light :) They look great and I'm glad you're enjoying your hood/ballast/bulb. How do you change bulbs with that hood? Unhook the ducting and screw it in through the round hole?

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    I think that's a great idea. I find micro grows to be much more meditative and enjoyable in that sense than the larger grows - I have a feeling a bonzai scrog would be a blast.

    1800 watts in 4x4x7 tent???

    All you need is a 600. You aren't trying to mimic the sun as you will fail every time. You are trying to maximum both yield and efficiency and 1800w over a 4x4 is not at all efficient and IMO will likely lower yield due to stresses. Like people have mentioned it's definitely possible but that...

    Where to buy Food Grade Butane

    You can purchase pure n-butane from local gas distributors or the big guys like airgas.

    Testing Hans panel: 56watt Cree xp-e/ Lumiled rebel power==== Let's talk efficiency

    Yeah, they are definitely taking off now. That is crazy coco - I'm use to it drying up quite a bit faster than soil.

    Gastanker's 600+w Organic UV Grow

    Glad to see you drop by and glad to hear you're up and growing again. Can I expect a new journal or is this just a quick pop in? Let me know if you start posting up again. I'm doing well.

    DIY LED REVOLUTION/EVOLUTION! INTRODUCING MEvo

    I believe he was saying that if you have a 12v-70v driver don't exceed the higher number - the maximum output (in this case it's 70v). If you had a 70-300v driver then don't go above 300 - or to be safe and not have it run super hot don't run it over ~250v. But you would be able to go above...

    Looks great. I'd give that A+ bag appeal.

    any idea how to make 5 plugs into 1?

    They can easily can handle 15w. Quick connects vary but I want to say even the crappiest smallest ones are fine with 15w with the higher end ones being able to handle >1000w. Keep in mind the ones in a standard desktop are powering 150w processors... OR course make sure the ones you purchase...

    any idea how to make 5 plugs into 1?

    Or spice 5 lines together and put quick connects on each end. That way you can separate all the pumps when moving them but they are still all wired to a single plug.

    any idea how to make 5 plugs into 1?

    could always use a power squid. 5 lines attached to each other with a breaker. Same thing as a power strip but fancier :)

    where to buy a cfl

    dollar store. Fuck the high wattage bulbs and focus on the cheap 23watters. You should be able to purchase at least 23 23w bulbs if not 46 (I often find them 2 for $1 or even 4 for $1). 500+ w for the same price as 100w and with better spread/coverage.

    any idea how to make 5 plugs into 1?

    Pretty sure you can control the flow to each nozzle. ;)

    any idea how to make 5 plugs into 1?

    Why not just upgrade the pump? Have a single larger pump that feeds multiple sites.
