I have a 3000 watt 3500 Kelvin and a 2x2x4 just curious if it is going to be too much or do I need to raise it they are currently sitting at 15 in above canopy

This is a an exercise to figure out how many watts or what light is needed for your grow room to get your buds to their maximum potential. This may help to decrease your power bill and lower the cost of purchasing a light. It also help you to pick a light source based on its wattage and your...

Hi! I planning to buy a new LED. I have to in my head right now Im looking for one with a good pricing. I was thinking about mars hydro tsw2000 and I saw a philzon cree cob 1500w. The mars hydro pulls 300w from the wall the philzon 320 and also the Philzon is cheaper by about 30-40$. Only...

What’s up my fellow growers, hope everyone is having a blessed day. I’m currently growing a NL auto, she’s about 33 days old, and she absolutely hated my 400w LED. I have another 110w led I use for my babies before transitioning to the larger tent, and she prefers this light over the larger one...

I would like to know how many hours of life we can extend LEC systems, both ballasts and light bulbs. Unfortunately I have not found reference material that explains how much we extend the life of the bulbs at medium power My intention would be to connect a 3x315 configuration in a 3x1.40m²...

Hey guys! So I have a 2’x2’x4’ wood box interior painted white that I’m growing in. Still trying to figure out ventilation but waiting until after I get lights figured out, I have some ideas already. I currently have one 32w Feit electric 3spectrum grow light I got from Home Depot for like 70...

Hey guys, so Im looking to build my first DIY COB set up and I wondering if I should try and run 9 COBs or 6 COBs ? My plan was to run 9 to have 1 light every sq ft but Im having trouble finding a driver that would run all 9 COBs in series. Would I be better off doing 5 COBs on 1 driver, and 4...

So I ordered the 4x4 kit from Rapid LED that comes with 12 Cree CXB3590 COBs and 3 drivers run at 1400ma (50w). Then they released the 5x5 kit while my order was still processing that runs the Cobs higher at 2100ma (75w). So in my ignorance thinking more watts equals the more bud I will get, I...

Hello! First grow here ! I have a 6.5x6.5x 7 room trying to grow ten plants ! I've been using 3 400w apollo Mh lights spread evenly in my room . And 400 w hps for flowing . I got ok veg growth but the more I read the more I realized maybe it wasn't the greatest as some people can get up to 3...

hey RIU community. Got some questions concerning my useage of power on my first grow. I have done plenty of reading on this and have pretty much came to the conclusion that as long as I don't have some outrageous setup and as long as I pay my power bill on time, I shouldn't have any issues with...

Hey RIU, I stole Supra's HSUSA table format and made it a bit... sexier. Also, added some functionality to help those of us that use this style of heat sink. This calculator should help you decide what profile to pick if you are considering this route. I'm no expert, and I would love someone...

Hey guys. I am going to buy a 350 real wattage LED. I have 3 cfls 2700k for flower, 2x20w & 1x32w = 422 watts I know i should go for about 30-50 watts pr sqft I am from Denmark, so i use m2 instead. Would it be a waste to go over 50watts pr sqft? If i buy a 80cm*80cm*160cm, it would sound like...

I have been interested in this question I've been wondering for a while and I feel the need to post this and ask for opinions, but I have a 1000w LED light running with 200-1W diodes. (On a side note, I assume that means I'm really running around a true value of 200W). Even though there is no...

Can somebody explain the watts/sqft number people are using on these forums? Or point me in the right direction for the answer? I see many people saying 35-40 watts/sqft is optimal, but what's the math/science behind that? Wouldn't something like that only be reliable if you are standardizing...

I calculated roughly 1W per fan for my fans which are Arctic F12, based on [email protected] (see their specs). Then there is the Meanwell LED driver, say some typical driver like the 1400mA or the 1750mA drivers, and the 12V MW driver for the fans. Just wanting to know when I measure the TOTAL...

These lovely ladies were turned over to 12/12 on 4/5/16. This means we're twenty days into flowering and I think looking pretty good. It's a little crowded so I did just enough light pruning in to let light get to the lower branches easily. I think they are looking pretty healthy. The two big...
