Looking good man. Nice progress so far. I’m curious about when an auto makes sense, what was your reasoning for going auto?

I actually wanted to go auto. Knew from the beginning i dont havw the best funds. Thus lighting i cant really control. Sun plus my few bulbs. Nutes i went pure basics. Autos took the least amount of hassle (and gave the best freebies 
)
For next year im going photo for all my favs. And the Kushes are bagseed so im guessing photos as well
Makes sense. I bet they are smelling quite nice by now. Hope they turn out awesome. I’ll keep watching.
Thanks man. She smells better then anything ive bought. N still gotta bit! 
The big one in the back needs to slow down another month. Need a new location.

@dbrn32 moved here lol
Right now im not really lockd into a budget. Was going to just get strips and maybe wagos today. Board n driver later. Definitely only wanna do the 12x12. But heatsinks? So if i get higher rated strips, thicker plating wont fix that? Like instead of .125 go .25
Also if i found the 3-4$ ish strips i was thinking buy 2 boards worth of components

You were looking at doing the 12”x12” 100 watt deal with 10 280mm strips then?

In that situation, the aluminum plate acts as a heatsink. For the Samsung strips running at higher current they generally need a little more surface area.
For that 12x12 light
Before you order the website says 10% discount for subscribing to email. That will knock price down to about under $4 per strip. If you’re gonna buy anything now, I’d get the 10 strips because they’re in stock with active discount.

Awesome. How much more… surface area u expect? I wanna jump on them later this evening
If you get 10 of those strips they’ll be fine on the 12”x12” plate.

any idea what the samsungs run? Just off the head
I know arrow had some 560mm for like $12, which is considered a good price. There’s too many different series and lengths to keep up with though.
What you would be looking for is single row f series though, as far as being competitive with the eb gen2. Like one of these
3000K: SI-B8V261280WW
3500K: SI-B8U261280WW
If you find a good price let me know and I’ll fit a driver.

Arrow only has the 2 footers like dbrn32 said. Digikey has the 1 footers for around $7 or a little lower depending how many you buy.
I should add I know they aren’t a foot or two feet. Just easier to type lol
