led diy

Hey all, I've had this Apollo Hort UFO for close to 2 years, and I've recently noticed two of the diodes look like they've been burnt to a crisp. I've considered converting it to cob in the past, but never got around to it. I'm hoping someone may be able to help me pick the best match for my...

I've been playing with a couple of COB layouts and love them! BUT I was intrigued by these new multiple chip, composite boards being designed by Horticultural Light Group, I believe the commercial lighting entity of Photon Labs/Northern Growlights. The light WITH the heatsink in thinner than...

I have just put a Tangiematic from fast buds a sour crack and a hbss from Mephisto and a DP auto Brooklyn sunrise. They are all on Day five Pictures to come. The first picture is the light of course and what comes with it.

MOD 420 is a universal frame for assembling a COB lamp with hundreds of different configurations. Developed by @Bobby from Mi and myself. The original prototype was Mod 8 for 8 cobs. We redesigned it to accommodate 4 cobs The final version of Mod 4 comes in 2 pieces can be can be joined to...

is this the place that supplies items for cob builds? I may be jumping the gun here so to speak, since there is no post here.

So since my last kind soil grow did not go like I'd hoped, I figured I'll try again with fewer plants in a little bigger pot than last time. Dropped 2 auto ultimates last week and as of these pics they are roughly 3 days old. Split one 5 pound bag of kind soil between the two 3 gallon pots and...

Heya All... I have room in the closet and budget ( soon ) for one more light to fill in a little space. I have boiled it down to these two options. The MARS II 400w - Net Dimensions:340*340*90mm/13*13*3.5inches Led Brand:Epistar(HI-LED)High Intensity Led Quantity of each Panel:80LEDs Led View...

Whats up AFN'ers? I guess I'm showing up a little late to the party, but better late than never!! I would first off like to thank Mark and Tom over at Platinum LED for putting me on the team and letting me showcase a couple P-600 panels! I have been growing for about 2 years now, all of which...

Have a DIY thread somewhere else in the forum and want it moved here instead? Post the link to your journal in here and we'll have a moderator/admin make it so!

I'm a huge fan in efficiency. It's one if the main factors in lighting besides spectrum. So from my reading and reading I came across credible documentation stating kind led were 22.5% efficient. Now that's 22.5 X wall wattage which equals the par watts which is the key number. The remaining...

Getting it in there. I will add more commentary when I can. Happy with the panel so far! Nice tight nodes. Fit perfect into the fridge I am using for a stealth cab, Which i haven't finished building. The cpu fan on the panel isn't how it comes. Just a temp mod until i get the inline and filter...

What would cover the area well enough to support Atleast 4 plants and costs less lol only reason I'm getting a tent so big is...

Hey AFN here goes my first journal under my brand new Amare. I've been wanting to upgrade to cob's for sometime, I spent many hours studying LED tech. and I nearly made my own. I may still attempt it at some point, it isn't cheap, it isn't pretty, no customer support and no warranty so I...

Well known blogger says and boy ain't it the truth: When LED grow lights are not made for a plant like cannabis, they can cause leaves to turn brown and crispy, or show nutrient deficiencies for no reason, especially in the cannabis flowering stage Could this have been at the heart of the...
