Indoor Distance grow 2.0: A Mephisto AutoPot saga

that looks like a lot of light bro! great job
that's a crazy big upgrade mate. so these are being imported? will you get slapped with import fees and stuff? trying to figure out if a smaller kit would be a decent option for me too.

So I got news today about the ChilLED Logic pucks... Customs held them for just over a week! I got notified this morning there's £158.40 duty to pay before they'll release it for delivery. I expected it to be substantial but that puts this light at a whopping £903.63!
In all seriousness I really don't care about the price for the quality I'm getting. This thing looks like it'll keep me and my girls very happy for years to come.

I suppose if you break it down it's only £112.95 per puck (incl. drivers, heatsinks and substrate) for one of the most efficient grow lights available with added reds.

I'm SUPER SUPER SUPER excited to get home and replace those blurples now....

Hey Boss... can I go home early please?

Day [HASHTAG]#61[/HASHTAG] & [HASHTAG]#62[/HASHTAG]...
So it's been quite an unexpectedly eventful morning. I woke to a bunch of pics sent to me from my garden carer which including a lighter for scale!. I'm SUPER stoked at what I saw as I've never grown anything to this calibre before, so they'll be posted for all to see

I also called up and paid the duty on my ChilLED Logic pucs and arranged delivery for tomorrow morning

Anyway, enough of me wittering on, check these babies out...

Day [HASHTAG]#64[/HASHTAG], [HASHTAG]#65[/HASHTAG], [HASHTAG]#66[/HASHTAG] & [HASHTAG]#67[/HASHTAG]...
Guess I must've been busy... where did the last 4 days go?
Anyway got some pic updates and a question to the LED wiring gurus out there (@Slater ???).

Got some nice autumnal colours coming through on the lower branches now... can't be too far from

So my question:
I was advised to wire the Logic Pucs in parallel. Would this work with Wago's where the T's are?

I wanted to zigzag the lights incase one driver failed so I still had coverage of the whole tent.
Thanks for dropping in peeps

Oh! and what's happened to BioTabs? I've PM'd, tagged and emailed the company directly without any response!

hyped the lights have arrived mate, shame you got stung by customs but i think it'll be worthwhile in the end, sounds like a stunning set up.

So here we are, 3.5hrs building and wiring and wr finally have THE BEAST (ie at last that's what I'm calling it! :smoking:

I edited them in parallel on a zig zag pattern incase one driver failed. That way I'd always have coverage for all.

Just gotta gang them now...
I'l update more later

I should probably add this is on the lowest setting. Max is BLINDING...

Day [HASHTAG]#69[/HASHTAG]...
Big day today. New ChilLED Tech Logic pucs in place to finish them off for the last week. Damn those lights are blinding! Can't wait to get the next run on to ser what they do...

There's such a difference, can't tell you how happy I am.
Before... burples:

Shows how good technology is. Both systems draw about 600W from the wall (+/- 40W) but the Growmau5 pucs just blow the Viparspectra's away.
