I am running a flexstar (basicly a gavita 1700) and a fluence spyderx plus both in 4x4 tents my first full run on the flexstar was 1lb in the 4x4 tent a best for me. Still working on the spyderx but there is a learning curve my flexstar has dimmer built in but can only dim to 40%. I have the dimmer for the fluence and have finished a run but had issues with RH that I have fixed so will update when I get a full run in.

Seeing as how I just made a topic about half an hour ago about LED's, I'm gonna sit on the sidelines and see whats up. I'm also VERY interested in hearing what LED users gotta say.

Hey everybody who is using LEDs out there. Lets join up and start chattin about this and that. Figuring crap out. Seeing what works for you, but not me, etc. etc.

It would be much appreciated if only people who USE CURRENTLY leds for mostly full grows, or vegetative grows using only LEDs.

HID users, we already know you are better than us, and your buds are bigger than ours. But there is a first time for everything, and a new beginning at ever end of something old.

ALSO IF YOU ARE AN LED SALESMAN TRYING TO SELL YOUR PRODUCT THIS IS NOT THE THREAD FOR YOU! STAY AWAY! IF YOU ARE AFFILIATED WITH A COMPANY AND HAVE BIAS FEEDBACK WITHOUT RESULTS. STAY AWAY!

Thank you all, and I hope this thread EXPLODES in growth...

LED USERS UNITE!

Made a 2x4 Flower light to go with the 4/5k veg light.
All strips are Samsung M series 3.5k from a couple weeks ago when arrow had them for 89c. Lol
150lm/w I’ll take for the price. 24v-1350ma. 320w at 90%. Found Meanwell EDR drivers for Cheap $20-150w-that mount outside the tents.
taking a shot on the 660nm’s strip instead of Cree stars on veg. Next round coming soon to test these diy out! Trainwreck/Hdream.
safe new year everyone:joint::peace::joint:

After running those lights in veg, realized quickly they need to be way closer than expected. So I started over . Same strips just no 4/5k , lm561c 3.5k - lm281b+ 3k , Cree xp3 660nm-Cree 3k stars.380w max. Hopefully this one can be kept higher off the canopy . *still need wire management/tweaking , more reds? :joint:3AFAF772-484B-432F-8F84-EB0285A5025A.jpeg

So I'm slowly using up all those cheap strips I purchased from Arrow

I gave my old 800w Chinese made 10 cob cxb3590 light to a friend for a 5x5 replacing a 1000w hps as there was some heat issues. So the tent was too cold so I built two 150w lights to add for a total of 1100 watts

Each light
16 SI-B8T15156CWW
powered by a
HLG 150H 24B
