If your using veros, for $1.50 you can get these molex pico harnesses. They are 18", makes it even easier, no soldering

Hey buck I have a buddy who is in hydro and it's his first grow and he is about to flush. He's wondering what is best options are? Can I send him over here to ask you some questions?

Had to stop working on light, trimmed up little over 7 oz's. That's 1st time I've weighed anything, nice surprise for 1 plant in a 7 gal pot.

It has smoother taste than last grow, but did wash this round.

Looks great bro, very nice!!

Had to work 12 hrs today, didn't have much time. Did get cobs mounted,wired, control box mounted. All I have left is to plug it in and move my table under the light. It'll be up and running tomorrow.

LOL, that there is light porn.

I feel like one of those guys waiting impatiently to see how many decibels that car audio is gonna measure at.

Lets see if it'll bleach cotton! Yeah!

I probably have too much light, gonna fire it up after work tomorrow. I'll try to put meter under it, see what kinda readings. Still waiting on the display controller, won't ship till Monday at the earliest. Can still run 100% or 50% plus cobs. Gotta transplant tomorrow before 2 plants die, looking rough.

And then buckshot said "let there be light"

[Buckshot317]

Back up again, this past month has been brutal

 

[Buckshot317]

Gotta do side job this evening but had few mins to work on light. I installed hinges on control board to access driver leads

Now I'm going back adding little things for convenience. I'm aiming for tonight if work doesn't take more than hour or so, but it's an old house. So it's hard to tell until you tear into it.

Hope everyone is having a great humpday .

I even used fireproof plywood, so maybe now mars will quit sending messages to me, stating my diy lights are very unsafe and in order for safety I should buy a pre assembled light. I've gotten around 10 messages stating this from 5 different 420 accounts, and it's all broken English, kinda know exactly who's sending them, and their account won't allow me to pm. I like the messages, think their funny

Lmao Bucky! I started DIY to try and put together the very best, most efficient, and safest components.
To go above and beyond and use components that it wouldn't be economically feasible to do in a commercial light. With DIY we can add whatever fuses we want, improved temperature management, more efficient diodes, aquarium style dimming and timer controls, and excessive heatsinks.

My DIY lights are the safest most efficient lights I have ever used.

 

[Buckshot317]

We have light

The boards didn't come, there is switch harness, not sure what to tie together, no instructions lol. I'll call and find out what the code means. Has indicator lights on the boards. Has 4 slow flashes then 4 fast flashes, it means something. I'll call tomorrow to get schematic, but I can run the cobs. The 480 drivers maxed out at 484 watts after it warmed up

 

[Mag7]

So I guess he just needed to skim through. To get the answers he needed. He's a stalker lol. Whatever lol

Looks good in the pictures, sorry for the issues but i'm sure you'll get it all squared away

I can imagine the amazing garden you're gonna grow in this room. It's going to be beautiful!!
