Haha ill make it as fancy as i can spring for. And seeing so many scrogs id be happy to run 2 small ones continuously .
Maynot go tent n try to do a room like you (also not a WHOLE room like u, maybe half a room:joy:). Humidity and smell in the house. Ur the expert. Talk to me. What would u change so far?
Go the their home page and there should be a little bar up top that says “10% off for subscribing” or something like that. Click on it and follow it out.
If you’re already on there and it won’t give you code, just use a different email.

Sorry you decided to give up on autos. I think if you would have let them grow w/o trying all sorts of training on them, you’d have been happier with everything.
Autos definitely are not easier. They might not require a light flip to start flowering, but being true hybrids, they tend to require a more gentle touch, all around, to prevent stunting & other issues. They are not as forgiving as photo plants, for sure.
Glad you’re not giving up, though. You’ll enjoy photoperiod plants b/c they allow you to really mess around with all sorts of training, but you need to be super vigilant about your light schedule & preventing light leaks.

I didnt give up on them betty. I plan on running one every moment i can. Then im leaving the Northern HOG outside fulltime. (She is getting her a** kickd but growing ) but the photos are the bread and butter. I havent germ’d a photo seed i paid for.
N i only got to really grow 1 out of the 4-5 i tried to germ. Think i killd WW somehow. Lemon haze is still in her soil after 3 weeks. Think Different didnt open in her peat pod (also me too damp). And thr aforementiond HOG is doing fine with me not touching her (except rain, always needs a touch after rain)

Double sided sticky tape - by the big roll

(@Aolelon question u get most right )
And finally the aluminum - local 2 -12 inch plates

You won’t need that many wagos. Like 4 per light max. You may be able to get away with 2 per light, get a 10 pack of the 2 port lever connectors.
Drivers for that light are meanwell lpc-100-500, you’ll need 1 per light.
Get 18awg solid wire rated for 300 volts. 25’ spool will be plenty for this light.
Double sided thermal transfer tape you want 20mm wide. Only comes in 25m roll that I’m aware of. That’s enough to like 7 of these lights.
Get two plates .125 1/8” thick 12”x12”, a little bigger is fine. If you have hard time they’re available on eBay too.
It should all be linked in diy with bridgelux strips thread.

Not sure if i can post links outside of amazon but i can find em
$194.70~ no calculator but damn fine work 
Now to piece the rest of the funds together. Strips down. $111~ to go. Also sad news… Ms Red was shredded 3 days ago by a mystery animal… i cleaned her remains up, tied her top to the pot. And she has been slowly recovering. Ms Beige was shredded last night by i assume same said animal. She had been topd… then topd at both new tops. Cropped on all new tops. Then traind to allow her 4 sub-tops to catch up. Then transplantd to a bigger pot and set outside to begin flowering in shorter light. Sadly also was skewerd. Will let her sit and try to grow (and bring her inside to continue vegging with the others…) but she maybe a gonner.
So.
Ms Blue- Mr Blue
Ms Red - shredded 8/30
Ms Beige - shredded 8/2
Berry Bomb - 2 months 17 days (1 mth veg)
Ms Green - mainlined and growing slowly…
I need lighting and safety for my girls

Not the right tape. You need 20mm wide, not 10mm wide.

Fixed it. Thanks man
No problem. The strips are 24 mm, so even the 20mm is technically small. But it’s closest without having a exposed tape. If you have wider tape than strip it will hold a ton of dust and get nasty. Been using the 20mm with them almost 2 years now and works plenty good.

Soooo. Great news. Santa ran!!
Also… GREATER NEWS! Santa mistakeded me for some good boy a few houses down.
I orderd 20 - 280s… got 20 - 560s… good thing I procrastinated about the drivers and other parts. @dbrn32 i have a conundrum on my hands now. Should i still 10 strip the 560s? Just add longer aluminum n bigger drivers? Or do we do something more… creative?

Did they charge you for the 280mm and you got the 560mm instead? If so you just scored big time lol.
