Yea I should have staggered them for sure. I don't know why I didn't think about that. I plan too upgrade eventually and build a 200-400watt and I will stagger for sure. Could you elaborate on what NW+ WW IS? I haven't heard of them yet.

In total the led cost me around 120$ after all was put together. My friend is using a "¿black star?-" (I think) 200 watt led and he even admits mine works better. I think he paid over 300$ for his. I have all the notes from what wave lengths and how many of each I used. I will try too find it...
My led is actually set up for bloom. I have auto flowering headband in there right now. When I am not using auto strains I scrog style and use a sunsystem 4,000 lumen 2 foot t5 for veg.
I didn't take picture of building the led. CREE LEDS are sold from a number of distributors. As long as you know the "spectrum" you want you can order accordingly. I got the power supply from the same company I bought the leds from. I will look and see if I have the receipt. It was fairly...
