    5x5 eb gen 2 build advice?

    I got more wire and got to rewiring the first set and wiring up the second set. Originally I thought I'd want the drivers in the tent for extra heat since I live in Canada and this is in a basement, but after a bit of a stress test, I found it got too hot and had to take them out... I don't...

    5x5 eb gen 2 build advice?

    I'm looking to setup a basement grow with a 5x5 tent, so long as we can find a place to put it and looking at how I should light it w/ eb gen2 strips on 4 large baking sheets.. I want to do it right but I don't have a bucket of money to throw at it either and don't want to overdue it.. 960w =...
