This is how I built an overpowered light worth $2500+ on the market for only $850. All currency is CAD. *BEFORE STARTING* Watch the 6 part growmau5 series to learn the wiring: For the grounding plug: Technical: 4x Hlg 185H 700ma in series drivers (i suggest you buy the newer 240H model) $250 40x 5000K $350 7x 3000K $25 (You can use less I used way too many) All are bridgelux Gen 3/ C3 (Make sure theyre all plug in only dont mess around with the solder ones unless you have 100+hours experience in soldering) The 3000k ones I used were soulder onlys. Lost a couple due to human error Total Cost (TC): $575 Frame: (Choose a better material for frame, I used wood composite because I was lazy) (I would think aluminum would be the best material but all have their pros and cons) Wood composite 2x2ft v Matching plastic 2x2ft (painting frame) $50? Thermal tape (sized to the width of the led bars) $20 TC: $70-100 Electric: 100’ length 20guage solid core wire $60 50 pack 2 wire wagos 221 $25 4x plastic junction boxes 4inch x 4inch x 3inch (make sure it comes with something to plug up the holes and hold the wire)$40 500 assorted pack heatshrink tubing $20 (good to help fit in junction box) 4x Leviton 515PV 15Amp 125Volt grounding plug $20 25’ 16guage wire (for the grounding plug) $20 TC:$165-Everything is super flexible here just make sure your amps and volt calculations are solid. -Dedicated extra fans (required): With 2 medium fans running on the light, and another 2 small fans running on the drivers everything is 20C-25C. SETTING UP THE DIMMERS (Very easy if you do it like i did in these pictures) All you need is: •100k potentiometers (maybe an ohm meter if you want to make sure ur dimmers go all the way to 100, most dont they go to like 92 or 97) •20 guage wire (same as the led strips) •Plastic junction box (make sure its got rubber wire holders that you cut a hole through with scissors and put the wire/ potentiometer through) •211 Wago wire connector •soldering machine (temperature is dependant on what kind of solder you use) $25 • silver solder (find a lower temp soldering machine ~360f for silver) $20 (This light is truly 800w if you use the exact parts, if you use more or less drivers and led strips or different brands then the wattage can vary from 600-1000, materials are very flexible just try to make sure volt/amp calculations are correct) (Always be cautious with electricity, build this whole thing without being plugged in to any wall outlet/power source️)

Morning Fam. Just wanted to start a little something to see what you guys are up to with any custom LED lighting units. Be it parts you ordered and pieced together, or parts salvaged from other fixtures and flood lights. So yeah, feel free to showcase whatever you've completed, are working on, or built and is in use. Also add in any supplementary lighting that you may have used even if it isn't LED. Don't feel shy to post your rough DIY work, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, lol! Anyway, it would be nice to see how everyone's making things work with what they have, maybe someone here can improve your setup with nothing extra, just some new ideas! Hope this takes off, Enjoy! Edit: Was supposed to post this under the LED sub-forum. Apologies.

These are my DIY QB lights I can run them full power with no issues. Quite expensive to build, but I like the reliability of passive cooling.

I have a lot of loose seeds from over the few years plus a handful of seeds that I recently purchased off BnB. I am going to germinate all 15 of them and take the 12 best looking ones [or at least the 12 that survive] and pop them into 20L fabric pots with Gold Label 70/30 Coco/Perlite that I just recently discovered. The strains going into the gauntlet are: Zkittlez x Purple Punch - Ripper Seeds x3 Criminal+ - Ripper Seeds x3 Royal Gorilla - Royal Queen Seeds x1 Aurora Indica - Nirvana Seeds x4 Jock Horror - Nirvana Seeds x2 Grand Daddy Purple - Green Smoke Room Seeds x2 Seed drop 2 October 2020 Light cycle flip 17 November 2020 Harvest dates: 1x Criminal +: 14 January 2021 1 x Grand Daddy Purple: 14 January 2021 Everything else: 17-18 January 2021 Flowering times will not be a concern as I have a spare tent that will be used just as a drying tent. I also don't plan on cloning anything yet. When I am done with this bunch I want to decide on a regular seed strain, find a mother and really dedicate to that strain for a while, whatever it may be. So far we got some live ones popping up, the first 12 at least.. I'll update again when I've chosen and potted the Mighty 12.

Hey Fellow Growers, I've started a new grow recently and I'll be posted updates here. 2x Quarter Pounder Autos (3 day germination, planted 4/10/2020) 1x Slurricane clone (Not sure about the age) Not yet added: 2x Do-si-dos photoperiod (I'll germinate these when the autos go into flower so that I can flip them after I harvest the autos) Lighting - 130 watt LED quantum board 3500k from @growopz . I'll add my QB75 when they start to flower. Medium - Orgasoilux organic living earth blend. Nutes - Biobizz grow, seagro, molasses, biobizz bloom.

What up growmigos So got abit bored and wanted to do 1 last run before the year is up. Gona give the autos a break for now. STRAINS Regulars - Choc Gelato x Ghost Train Haze (5) shout out to @Totemic Feminized - White Rhino (5) Bag - OG Kush (3) Started off in small pots. Was all i had. And due to this not being an auto run, they would need transplants later on. ( i wanted to start small and then select the best babies to be transplanted.) Due to the unpredictability of the bag seeds and the regulars i decided to pot a few and see which will be worthy of a transplant. Im going to try and keep them outdoors for now. As my grow box currently has the Mixed auto run. If sprouting and growing goes well. I will then put them in the grow box and let the autos grow outdoors. (The autos havnt started flowering yet, so waiting on that) Seeds poted today. So first watering should be in a couple of days. Weather is bleek this week so pots not drying up too much. ✌

Howzit fine people. Next run on the go. Next seed supplier on the hit list "Groen seeds" . . . They had a special on that i couldnt resist. So apparently these are autos. But unknown strains. They had a bag of 5 autos for 100 bucks. I also ran out of pots. So had to make a plan. According to my estimates. They are in 12 liters of soil. And the small pot is a 8 liter. Potted on thursday morning. 14-10-20 Freedom farms soil. Biobizz nutez.

New grow and decided I’ll log it here to see how things pan out. Inhouse Genetics - Bananium Inhouse Genetics - Zurple Punch Inhouse Genetics - Jelly Breath Inhouse Genetics - Sugar Cane Inhouse Genetics - Slurricane Inhouse Genetics - Terple Inhouse Genetics - Frosted Apricots Inhouse Genetics - Blunicorn Inhouse Genetics - Lime drops Capulator - Mac Exotic Genetix - Cookies and cream World Strongest Strains - Sundae Driver World Strongest Strains - MacSherbet World Strongest Strains - Cherry FPOG World Strongest Strains - Chiquita Banana (Utopia cut) - Seeds from two phenos from last grow , pollinated by @CreX Knuckle Genetics - Quarantine Kush Solfire Gardens - LSP Irishdabs- Mac69 x Mac 3 Will post progress once things take off.

Sjo howzit. I'm ready to share what I've been up to since the last grow. Right from the get-go, I know this setup has flaws. I've got two different kinds of lights, three different strains and two different growing methods. I'd like to say this is on purpose but honestly it just kinda happened. Somewhere between an upgrade and circumstance I've now ended up here. I've decided I am going to do one last hoorah with DWC, going back to my roots from when I first began growing and also use the HID lamps I've had tucked away since acquiring my LED. I really like DWC, it's hellah fun and technical. I just love the amount of control you have with it. However I really want to do a serious ScrOG attempt next and the last time I did a ScrOG it was with DWC and couldn't even finish that grow If not DWC with a ScrOG, what medium to use then? I've never grown in a solid medium before so I'd have to learn soil/coco. So I decided to throw in a couple plants in Freedom Farms Premium Classic and have them grow in the space I had left in my tent aside from the DWC setups, so that I am not a complete n00b when I do the ScrOG. Did I mention I got a bigger tent? I am now rocking a 1.2x2.4x2.05 meter tent and oh boy, I think a ScrOG will do just super.. but that's next time. Why waste time and not just do the ScrOG now? Well, I've got some very nice seeds on the way (enough time for another grow) and I'd like to create a mother from that pack of seeds and then use clones from the mother to fill the ScrOG. I also do not feel like my previous DWC grow was very good either, so I want to get a solid one in before dumping the buckets. The plan is to do 4 DWC cooler boxes, same design as before. They will have 250W MH to veg and 400W HPS to flower. The ladies in the DWC will be mainlined into 8 queen colas each and I am going to be extremely aggressive on the defoliation. No kak cheap branches this time with poopy airy buds. I want 24 thicc and solid queen colas that look like the Grinch took a shit on my desk.. multiple times. After setting up the 4 DWC systems I couldn't help but notice that I had a third of my tent unused. I had already gotten a few extra things to expand my HID lamp setup to accommodate the increase in DWC buckets and number of plants, so I don't want to invest in more HID power. I want to keep the power below 1000W in the tent, I don't think anything more is necessary for what I'm doing. Although I have my 250W LED still, so I decided to just throw that into the tent in the unoccupied space and do two plants of the same strain in soil to learn the ropes. The two plants in soil turned into five plants.. during the propagation stage one seed didn't pop, so I decided to pop more seeds to compensate and got a little paranoid and decided to pop more than necessary in case some didn't germinate.. they all germinated. So now I have five plants in soil, 4 of which are the same strain, 1 is a very long flowering strain. Once again I have done this to myself, putting different strains with different flowering times in the same tent. But mama didn't raise no simp so imma let them finish as is. But bro why not use the 80x80x180 tent you have sitting empty now? It's way too cold to veg under LED and no heating. The beauty of HID lamps in Winter is that you get your photons and a comfortable temperature in your tent all in one! So I've just put the soil plants under the LED in the same tent so they can share the heat. I did however add a small heater with a Sonof switch just to help the temp with the dips at night and these wacky cold fronts. Also because of the different flowering times I can then use this smaller tent as a drying tent as a harvest. Even better, if the 5 soil plants get too big in their corner I can just take a few outside to flower Strains!

Hey there guys, Thought I'd drop this here so long... Please let met know what you guys think: This forms part of the main Dutch Passion Auto Daiquiri Lime Grow Series (Forum Grow Report and YouTube Grow Series). I will be building this forum topic as I get time, so just sharing the video for now as I'm quite busy with my full time job, etc. I'll post some finer details if anyone is interested and can post some decent quality copies of the photos in the video for those interested in this sort of thing (DIY light building/tinkering with electronics). Hope you guys have a great weekend! Peace.

Hey guys, new member here Does anyone here dabble in building LED lights? It is such an addictive hobby and so rewarding watching your babies grow with something built by your own hands. Here are some pics of some of my latest builds using Samsung Lm301b diodes as well as Bridgelux USA LEDs. I have since retired my HPS lights. Let me know what you think!

..and we are back ere'body! With a bit of revision and some lessons learnt from the last incomplete grow, I am on the way with Royal Gorilla as well as a Grandaddy Purple. Royal Queen Seeds - Royal Gorilla Green Smoke Room Seeds - Gran Daddy Purple The plan is to ditch the scrog idea from last time. It's such a mission when coupled with DWC, which I am going to keep, but instead of 15L cooler box reservoirs I am going big with 30L cooler box reservoirs. This should assist in flowering with not having to fill my reses every day..maybe now every 2-3 days. So in order to maximise yield minus the scrog, I'll do an 8 way manifold by topping each plant a total of three times and using low stress training to get as much spread as possible. The Gran Daddy Purple has a shorter flowering time than the Royal Gorilla, this will need to be kept in mind closer to the end of flowering. There is a possibility it will need to be harvested sooner than the Royal Gorilla. I do not want to sacrifice either to a shorter or longer harvest period than necessary. Each plant will be harvested when either is ready in their own time. Beginning the veg stage now, I intend to use the coming colder months closer to flowering to induce as much colour in the GDP as possible, genetics be willing. The Setup 80x80x180 Grow Tent 250W Quantum Board with Potentiometer and Current/Voltage Reader 2 x 30L DIY DWC Air pump + Air Stones Clip Fan Sonoff TH16 Wifi Switch + Temp/Humidity Sensor I have connected a Sonoff switch to the exhaust system which acts as a temp/humidity reader and can be used to automate the exhaust to operate depending on temp/humidity perimeters if need be. The device plus the sensor cost me R480. First Few Weeks of Veg Plant on the left is Royal Gorilla, plant on the right is GDP. Will update at major milestones

Greetings everyone. I'll keep this one relatively short. I have a 60cm x 60cm x 120cm DIY grow box that I want to setup for vegging to hopefully get a perpetual grow going. I can't buy a new light right now so I've put something together with what I had on hand (including a timer) These are the lights wattages; LED plate: 1 x ~48w actual (Chinese UFO Blurple) White LED bulbs: 2 x 9w Osram 6500k LED bulbs: 2 x ~28w actual (red+blue+white+UVA+IR) Do you think this would be enough to veg 2-4 trees for 5-6 weeks? I could also veg 2 trees and use the rest of the space for cloning or keeping a bonsai mother.

Afternoon all the wise peeps here. i am looking for some advice please. i ahev recently bought one of these I am not to keen on the results. I understand that it is not a true 1000w. (most likley 100-240w) So I am keen to get one of these. Budget is non existant and trying what ever I can for a decent indoor grow. any recomendations would be supper awesome.

I decided to check my knowledge on the efficiency of grow lights. From https://aeradix.co.za/grow-light-efficiency/: PPFD is a measurement of light intensity within the PAR wavelengths and is measured in µmol/m2s1. The efficiency of a grow light on the other hand is measured in µmol/J. Sometimes written as umol/j, μmol/j, umolj-1 or PPF/W. Grow light efficiency is also referred to as photosynthetic photon efficiency/efficacy (PPE). Thus, µmol/J is the amount of micromoles of photons produced per joule of energy used. The power draw of a light is measured in watts and watts is the joules consumed per second (J/s). Therefore, if you know the wattage of a single light source and the Photosynthetic Photon Flux (PPF) value, then the efficiency of the light can be calculated. For example: 1 100 µmol/s and 500 W is (1 100 µmol/s) / (500 J/s) = 2.2 µmol/J. A PPE of 1.5 umol/J is considered efficient. Anything above 2.0 umol/J is considered very efficient. For comparison, many (high pressure sodium) HPS fixtures on the market have an efficiency of 1.3 umol/J or less, with some of the best HPS grow lights approaching 1.7 umol/J. The best ceramic metal halide (CMH) grow lights have an efficiency of just under 2.0 umol/J. HPS and CMH efficiencies will increase in the near future, but LED efficiencies will increase at a more rapid rate.

Hey guys, I found a really good valued COB LED oversees but there is one thing 'pulling me back, me back' from looking at buying it... It has one main switch which turns the entire thing on instead of 2 separate veg & bloom switches. Is this a problem? LED spec: Full spectrum - 56pcs Double Chips 10watt Bridgelux/Epileds LED Chips + 2pcs x20w CREE COB Kind Regards KN

Yo Guys has anyone ever bought LED grow lights from Ali Express or any of those fong kong places? are they legit when it comes to true wattage and full spectrum? REALLY wanna move to LED"s

I have recently set up a grow closet with an LED full spectrum light. When I open the cupboard it kills my eyes. I don't have the budget at the moment for glasses. Can I temporarily switch the LED off to tend to the plants? Will this cause damage. I have 65w 6400k CFL built into the closet that I put on when the LEDs will be off.
