Ok cool, the simpler the bettef

The only thing i read about those wire nuts and why they arent recommended is they make cuts in the wire sleeve as they tighten up. The cuts can cause issues with the wires eventually and i dont want that in my grow room environment but they use them in house wiring so def could be one way to go. Yes the red is + i miswired by accident. I love the wagos because everything is so easy to disconnect! Should have picked up a big pack! If i have to order more ill get the pack thanks!

 

[Buckshot317]

Just have to make sure have enough wire stripped and no to over twist. The wagos is only way to go. Easy to use, and easy to fix or change.

 

[BedroomFarmer]

I definitely do not recommend the ideal push ins. Some push in easily some i toss because they mess up the wire. They are permanent too. The wago is just the best option, your right! Love that i can unhook every thing so easily!

 

[Buckshot317]

Yea, the ideals are meant for heavier solid wire. Pain in the ass for stranded. Wagos are just so easy, worth the extra $ over time.

Its alive!!!!! 2 rows down 2 to go! Ima use these for now though! Will finish the rest before flip! 2 drivers per monitor each driver is about 15 watts at the lowest setting and 170 watts at the highest. Over 300 watts for 2 drivers! The light is beyond blinding, i cant imagine what 2 more will do.

True that bud .

That light is going to nail it, their growing fast already.

 

[Buckshot317]

Your going to love the new lights. As you can see, 2 rows are plenty to veg, fire all 4 rows to flower. If you don't use reflectors you can almost drop light right on top, just few inches away.

I took apart one of those pots, their electronic, that's why it didn't work properly at first, I thought they were a regular mechanical potentiometer.

Congrats BR, these are easy to put together once it gets familiar. Your gonna kill it.

Thanks pw! I havw to finish the other two panels but hoping for some big bushes by then. Im thinking 1 to 2 weeks before i flip. Im running really low on my first gsc harvest.

Im already in love! They make pics look fantastic too! Hey buck man! Thank you so much for all the help. Yiur drawn out wiring diagrams made all the difference! I really appreciate it. My lights would not be on this level if it wasnt for you so thank you!

Thank you again! The power and distance has me a little confused. I have them powered way down but i will bring them to full power over the next 2 or 3 days and drop them down to right over the plants!

I love these pots. Well worth thw price. They look clean and stop at about 15 watts. Hope you like them too.

The plants already love it! They were reaching up right after i netted them.

 

[Buckshot317]

No problem, happy to help. Yea after week or 2 should be well adjusted to the new lights and be able to crank up.

I'm still waiting on my controller so I can finish wiring. Should have it by end of the week.

. Ended up getting these fuse holders on eBay for $2 a piece, $6 on amazon

 

[BedroomFarmer]

Looks excellent buck! Nice! I like the fuses. I may add some in later but just will plug into a fused strip for the time being. Cant wait to see it fired up!

 

[Buckshot317]

That's what I done on first box, used fuses timer strip.

Your going to be ready to flip soon. Plants looking great .

 

[pino0911]

BF looks great!! I think m gonna try to build me a cob set up!! Cant wait to see how the girls grow under them. If u do t mind me asking about how much do u have invested just in the two panels? I think m gonna make a list of what is needed and buy things here n there so it dont break the bank!!

Thanks pino! Ill make a parts list for you if you want from rapid led. Im not sure your tent size but i dont know if 6 will cut it for flower if your in a 4x4. I think 8 is better but again im not sure. People say different things, my understanding is 8-16 is ideal in a 4x4. Buck would know better.

Im getting about 300 watts from 2, 185 1400 drivers and 6 cobs total. You can run a bigger driver and power the cobs at a higher wattage but it wont be as efficient. What size tent are you running? You can always add more cobs later on too which is nice if you feel like you need more light.
