DIY 4x12 3500K/5000k lm561c two channel board

I would ,like to add. The GrowGreen board is a well designed board that uses excellent trace design to dissipate heat well, so the diodes can operate at tghe most efficient temperature, which is most important..

Low amp draw, great heat dissipation, high power output, low heat = efficient to operate and cost effective to own..

After the Chinese vacation the new boards will be 5000k/2700k. There are only a few 5000k/3000k board still available. One of my EU partners has a batch of all 3000k manufactured which will be one of a kind, two channels of 3000k at 200w. I have at least two EU partners taking advantage of MY design and using The GrowGreen design for their lights and saving money on shipping, taxes, import duties, etc. it does not get any better than that.

And I just had exactly the same kind of interaction with him in the last couple of days.

He's extremely thin skinned and starts screaming about lies and then in my case moved on to threats in an email exchange we had.

There are plenty of reputable vendors here. He can't be bothered to get a retailer tag and then freaks out with no provocation.

Find someone else to sell you lighting.

Just popping in to mention I ordered two lights from Vegas and they came in prompt time. Once the clones have rooted, they'll got under 2 of the grow green boards, each driven separately. Grow room is 3x2x6 with six clones, going for a scrog grow.

I have been running a 200w GrowGreen board on a 240h driver at full power that is 230w 2 amps since these boards were designed and fabricated.

The boards work fine provide great light low heat are electrically efficient, uses a small led driver 185h- c1050a low amperage high power.

The detractors can say anything they have not used a GrowGreen board or even touched one but they already know everything about the boards except they work great replace four cob 200w unit all day long with lower powered drivers and less heat. These are facts.

You are going to like the gg boards.
I run mine in a 32" x 32" tent at 100 watts each and got great growth in veg and flower.
I now have them at 150w apiece in my finishing 'fattening" area for their last 4/5 weeks.
Looks good with the wagos.
I've the MK 1 versions without the wagos.
A nice priced light.
:cool:

Frankly no one has said anything negative about the board, only your ridiculous claim of 50% energy savings to make the same output wattage.

Update.
The "Fattening Room"
33 days in flower.
I rearranged the lights.
I put the 5 x cxb3590 3500K light in the middle with the 2 x GrowGreen boards on each side.
The Quantum Board runs on the outside edge of the cxbs.

Plants are doing great.
I've 2 more of the GrowGreen boards in transit as we speak, courtesy of @VegasWinner, thank you again :D!
So all is good.
The original Sensi Star is the best plant by a country mile if you wanna make oil.
Sensi Star 2 more dense bud , tighter, squat plant, easy to trim.
Wappa is a good yeilder. Quite big, Great daytime smoke.
Strawberry Banana is strooong daytime smoke. I thought she was a bit harsh last time.
I had to tie her in knots to keep her short. She's a bit deceiving on yeild, looks like a low yeilder but fattens up good round week 7/8. Buds fairly tight.

Thanks for looking in folks :lol:

Here is a frame I build from 1 piece of 1"x 1/8" x 36" cut into two equal pieces 1 piece of 1"x1/16"x 36" cut into two equal pieces and finally 1 piece of 1"x 1/8" x 36" cut into four equal pieces.
Two of the 9" pieces are used to mount the drivers the rest are used to make a frame to hold 2 GrowGreen boards with 5.886 x18" heatsinks.
Two of these frames forms a 800w 4x4 or 5x5 cover area.

Nice ,sensi star looks awesome .
What happen to the missing raw in the quantum board ?
thank's :bigjoint:

I also added an on off switch connected with wagos on the frame.
Frame took me about an hour using hand tools and three pieces of aluminum angles some 3mm and 5mm screws and four eye bolts.
Make two and you can cover a 5x5 area

Nice to see someone not afraid to use nuts and bolts! I get a little weary of seeing frames riveted together.

Sounds like a possible alternative to a 1000 watt DE HPS
Nice

Four GrowGreen 200w boards should equal a 1000w hps using less energy and generate less heat.

I am working on an idea. One pair of GG boards mounted on a frame with Deep Red, Far Red, UVA, IR, an Royal Blue 3w cree leds mounted with a second frame with just two GG boards for 800w of GG and another 100w or so of cree leds for specifics mostly manually controlled except the Far red need a schedule control. With GG 6 channel controller you can get the best of both worlds, schedule control, sunrise/sunset controls Deep/Far red Emerson effect and additional IR and UVA for some extra terpine production.

Here is a little excerpt regarding 450nm effect that is mostly stimulated by the 5000k spectrum, more so than the 3000k

In more practical terms, these wavelengths encourage vegetative growth and are essential in lighting for seedlings and young plants during the vegetative stage of their growth cycle, especially when “stretching” must be reduced or eliminated. It also stimulates the production of secondary pigments which can enhance colors and is known to also stimulate Terpene (i.e. fragrance) production.

One of My mentors, Soma says fragrant flowers is essential.
