I have come to the realization that

I have too many plants and too small of a room

I miss outside soo much :frowning:

I may need to lose my Hempy buckets for now as they are to flower

I may want to flower a crop sooner

so I may do some 3 gallon grow bags with soil-less

be safe and stay tuned photos and blah blah blah to come

Set some to the side and maintain their trimming, keep them in veg. Flower out the room you want and put the other in the next round.

@Slym3r I am going to give them a couple more weeks and see what they

look like at that time

I was hoping to flip the light on part of the room in a couple week or so

I may have to wait a bit longer but I do want well vegged plants with good roots

for big buds :slight_smile:

they are coming back I will feed them soon

up canned some from 1 gallon to 3 gallon pots

took these from 1 gallon to 2 gallon short on space at this time :frowning:

these got a trim

lights are full

all the best and be safe

Wow it has been about forever :frowning:

been slacking about updates as veg is veg

and I still have a day job so it has been busy rolling out

an updated network

I have some photos also a bunch of blah blah blah to go with them

but a quick question for you LED gurus

how far can I have my driver from the strip array?

I will put up my light build doing 24 - 2 foot Bridgelux strips

and a couple of Meanwell drives to cover a 4 foot by 4 foot to flower

all the best

how far are you talking…it’ll be about resistance x distance of the wire gauge.
First # is AWG Number, Last is resistance per Meter

Oh. Never keep a gram of that in your glovebox btw. Just opening the car door after 30 seconds smells like walking into a sketchy cloudy Amsterdam coffeeshop.

Today is 11/18/2022

I have been updating the Network in the Factory where I am

the IT Department

I have 85 users and 75 devices on the Network so it does take time

for one person to get it done

now that it is out of the way back to surfing grow forums and learning a bit

about LED lighting

since this Monday I have been reading about different strip LED

builds and forums my brain hurts

I have come to find out what I know about LED lighting put into a

thimble would roil around like a BB in a box car :frowning:

I have 24 - 2 foot Bridgelux Gen. 2 strips and a couple of HLG 185h 24 H AB

drivers which I will use to build a couple of 2 foot by 4 foot

185 watt lights to use for veg over a 4 foot by 4 foot space

they are neutral white in color so 3500k

After that I will need to build a light to flower my 4 Foot strips worked

as a prove of concept

but over all they suck ass for growing :frowning: the 6000k strips are way too

blue tops look like cabbages

the other setup is not much better even with the redder LEDs mixed

in

I have my metal coming in tomorrow for the frames and it will be time

to build a couple of lights

all the best and have a super day
