I’m also considering sticking with my solar cure flower power. I don’t know how well they will work being 6 inches from the canopy though.
Anyone got any input in this? I figure I can have 1 fixture per square meter directly in the center of the sqm but I’m not sure on how well the coverage...
So I have saved myself a fortune. It turns out I can use my 36b drivers I already have.
So I now intend to buy 528 Samsung f series 56mm 3000k strips and use with 12 HLG-600H-36b drivers.
Each driver would put out 384w for a total of 4609w to cover approximately 130sqft of canopy.
Each...
Right so I have had an issue with trying to figure out if you can use 36b drivers on 23v led strips for a while now.
During my searching I have seen a few people asking this question over the years on different threads here.
I can say I have a concrete answer now for anyone interested. I...
So can I use hlg-600h-36b drivers on 23v strips?
The data sheet says “constant current region 18-36v” but doesn’t explain exactly what that means.
If I can use these drivers and have 16.7a per driver at 23v I’d get 384w per driver and I can get Away with using all the drivers I’ve already got.
Right so
I aim to have 3 flood trays 14ft by 3.8ft each tray will have 176 Samsung f series 56mm single strips.
528 strips in total with 8 HLG-600H-24 drivers.
Can anyone tell me if my driver will still output 600w if the led strips are 23v or so I lose wattage as the voltage is dialled down?
Yeah I currently have solacure bulbs but they won’t fit in my footprint of the short sog I’m designing anymore.
I too believe it’s the missing link for dank indoor buds.
The price of the strips on that link you posted from cutter seems insane though
Yeah it’s 6m x 6m I may run slightly less space but atm its 6m x6m. I was looking at cutter but the price compared to f strips was nuts when I’d need like 550 strips
So far my plan was going to use 6 strips per square ft and 50w per sqft is that overkill? Samsung f series 56mm single row spread evenly 6 per sqft that is but 6 strips would do 2 sqft
I’m planning on building a low height SOG with co2.
Anyone got any advice on spacing and wattspersqft for led strips to achieve this?
I will end up having the tips of the plants possibly 6 inches away from the strips near the end. My goal is to have 1100ppfd 6 inches away from the leds and...
New consideration - stick to 4 plants per sq ft
Which would mean I’d only need 576 clones every 8 weeks.
Im thinking I can build the tables strong enough so that I can walk on them. That way I don’t need to make a pathway and I can do a total of 4m x 4m of growing area.
Walk on the tables...
Ok this is what I have so far
5 separate trays 4m Long each by about 60cm wide on wheels
An arduino controller with the following ideas
Loop
Open solenoid valve 1
Turn on fill pump (delay time required)
Turn off fill pump
Turn on drain pump (delay time required)
Close solenoid valve 1...
I need to research Lucas formula never really looked into it. I was gonna use megacrop after I run out of what I’ve got since it’s so cheap.
Got any recommended reading I should do on Lucas?
I use a essential oil diffuser now a commercial one where I plug in a 475ml bottle of essential oil...
Full of good ideas cheers never thought about staggering the flooding. Ideally I want to have a single harvest as I don’t know if it’s a good idea to try and manage 5 different trays at different stages, different ppm ranges etc. I imagine it being a nightmare.
Perpetual is something that...
