Diyleduk Scope 240 led strip light Upgrade

@Rocket Soul makes him feel cool

What do you mean too cold for HPS? That makes almost no sense. Too Hot I can understand, no problem. But cold???

4 x Royal Gorrillas in 10 litre pots transplanted to ~25 litre pots.
Compost and perlite, sprinkle of Epsom salts in base.
Mild feed with Tomatorite , 4 litres per pot. Warmed water up a bit as tap water is freezing cold.

Vegged under 3 x Samsung F strips at 84 watts. 24hrs lights on to compensate for the cold.
Total number of plants under the light was 14. 4 in 6" pots 4 in 3" pots 2 in yougert pots.

The plants are now in the 4 x 4.
I've turned off the hlg 550 , put it to side of tent
They are under the Scope upgrade light. 200 watts. About 16" away. I'll veg for a week then flip to flower.


The lights and heatmat were off all night so it' was initially cold in there.



You'll not know them in a week.... lol
The Moby Dick and the Royal Gorrillas are now under the FOTOP Boards, disco boards, Quantum boards, Growgreen boards etc etc etc

Enjoy

@Stephenj37826 has some 288s with those in it that he was telling me about... I had never heard of them and was wondering if anyone knew anything about them and how they worked...

I think you might be speaking aboout the 324s?? I know Prawn tried those, they were extra red/high cri boards. I think he kitted someones grow them, liked what he saw and designed the High lights.
They werent a complete hit, i believe the paper stats didnt look too great but seemed to do thhe trick to me. But hard to say if it was the leds or the high cri/extra red. I believe they were sub lm301b as far as photons.

I just appreciate the fact that he went out of his way to look out for me like that...

For comparison
Here's a par map of a Scope 275 V2 in a 32" x 32" - 0.8m x 0.8m tent at 12" - 300mm
Pretty good numbers.

I sorted the hanging height properly with the par meter.
4ft x 4ft - 1.2m x 1.2m tent
The light measures 19.6 inches x 24 inches - 500mm x 615mm


The Scope 240 is set at 200 watts, 26" - 66cm above the canopy.
I done a par map at Canopy level to show what it's capable of.

Nice numbers for 200 watts in a 4 x 4 for vegging.

It's all about the reflections....



So far so good.
Insulation is coming this week lol

Temperatures are arising in the tent at last.
Done a MacGyver with some parts I'd lying about.
I'm now using a 3" - 80mm 12v pc fan to remove air from the tent.
I attached it to a Gelid solutions fan speed controller, running it on minimum ~5v.
Running it off a Meanwell APV 1212 Driver.
The carbon filter and main 4" - 100mm fan are now recirculating the scrubbed air in the tent.
5 hours later and temps were reading 21 - 22°C 69 - 72°F.
I'll keep an eye on it this evening but so far so good.
