Alright boys,
I'm not 100% happy with it yet, mostly with wire management, but she's almost there.

I've got 10 samsung LT-F562B strips attached to 1 inch wide heatsink with double sided thermal tape.
1 HLG 320H 24A powering them.

Around 300ish watts in a 3x3 tent.
I plan on mounting an oscillating fan in the top of the tent in the near future.

The picture doesn't do it much justice but these are bright, I needed to get sunglasses for the reflection off of the tent.

It may be a couple more months but I'll throw up some pictures with a big ol bush in there.

Peace.

The veg closet.
10x same strips 5000k.
Planned on having the hlg 65 v2 in there as well but I guess there's no room.
I'll have to start a small seedling shelf somewhere.

Wire management still a joke. Much improvement to be made.

I know the plants aren't top notch. It's my first coco grow and I'm still sorting things out. Much better than 7-10 days ago though, improvement!

Someone has a ratchet-strap problem...


Other than a jungle of straps, congrats on the build.

I didn't want to build a solid bar system. Thought it would turn out better lol.
I actually only spent about $2 per set of ratchets so I'm not really upset.

Good for you bro. You took the step. One day you will have better gear than most and you built it. Much respect

About $350 per light with everything included (even straps)

Nice build! Congrats. Those individual strips would be killer for a perpetual grow: custom height for each row!

And sunglasses are a must, imo. I have 12 FB22B strips in my 4x4 (admittedly stronger light), and if I forget to put my glasses on, I don't notice a problem until I can't close my eyes without seeing purple green plant shapes...
