DIY LED PORN

Thanks for the clarifications. I do understand the tent heat issues. Seems like they get to a certain point, and then it does not take much to put them over the limit for healthy grow temps.

Three lights here, all are 50w per cob, two are 200 w veg and bloom lights, the third is just single passive 50w cxb3590. The bloom has Far red leds, deep red and IR all timed. The Veg has royal blue added leds. the 50w passive are for everything else. The cxa is 200w with hlg-185-C1400B. thecxb is 400w with two hlg-185H-C1400B, and the two passive are 50w no name drivers. peace

BL-LAMMM! I like it


So you have the blues and reds timed differently? Like far red for a short time to put the plants to bed? Do you have the power cords running to individual timers or do you have something like an Auduino running it all?

8 - CXB3590 fixture DIY...392w

Some Chaos grown under my COB setup

That is a badass rig and some nice frosty bud, great job!

Dude show us some of ur slick builds!
Ur work is truely inspirational

 

[Roasty McToasty]

Here you go Dion, been dragging my feet on posting up here.

Haven't really built anything lately, so here is what I built last.

8 Cree CXB3590's 3000k beast.

3 Vero 29's

In action,

MORE! MORE! Show me MORE!!!!
Hahahaha

 

[wildgrow]

Nice work GM and Roasty.

Finally finished work in the plantry, got her hung and the 1st plant is underneath - a Destroyer that's been suffering for months and all bent down.

 

[jikko77]

@wildgrow: neat and clean, i like it, where did you put the driver? mind taking some picture of it as well?

 

[wildgrow]

Sure. Theyre mounted topside on either side of the control box. They determined the spacing of the square stock.

 

[Roasty McToasty]

Very nice rig @ wildgrow! Love it!

 

[Greenmason]

Very nice @wildgrow! Next rig I build will be those pin style heat sinks instead of the extruded ones.

 

[wildgrow]

Thank you. I still cant help thinking 'cool' when I look at it.

 

[Dion]

Nice D. Do you know what the dissipation is for those radial fin heatsinks? They look like a good option for a restricted height grow?

they were good for about 20w of heat i think


everyone is now getting into these pin heat sinks and then hanging them horizontally, they still work but you can get the same amount of cooling from less weight using smth like these

8 USD each and good for around 25w of heat also, possibly could run a cob at 50w

this one no problem

having said that the pin style has massive surface area and they work great for that reason

cool, I got 2 panels. 4x cxb3070 on a 1400mA and 5x cxb3070 on a 1050mA. I like the 5x more somehow. This is the 4x

Replaced existing premade red/blue LED panels (600watts worth) with 370watts worth of COBS Vero29's 3000k 4000k 5000k
1 of 3 panels

Frosty bud currently flowering under new lighting with out red/blue panels

Peace, Happy growing

Week 5 Cookiewreck X Biker under 220watt 5x cxb 3070 with a Meanwell 1050mA driver. I like the them better than my 4 cxb with 1400mA. Less power, more efficiency?

btw: that's not porn.. more like an old sex tape from 1996

pics of the upgraded lights

pics of the upgraded lights

3x Vero29's panels, 2 panels are the front are running 100watts for 3000k and 120watts for the 5000k, Panel at the back is running at 150watts (reason why its higher than the others)

I find by placing the newly flowering plants under the 5000k for the first 4 weeks and then moving them tot he 3000k lights works a treat, Due to it becoming summer i've removed the 4000k panel which runs at 120watts

Lights off

5th Element d51 flowering (60 - 70 day strains)

Lights need to be atleast 25 - 30 inches above the plants or i get bleaching, no matter what the cab temps are.

Happygrowing, peace.
