fuck yeah. Gastanker your the shit. This little micro grow looks awesome are you going to order anymore LEDs?
I watch a lot of your journals.
Cheapo DIY Chinese LED grow. 200w
I've been posting this in my other thread so here's a quick catch up.
These are 100w arrays (1wx100) ordered from ebay direct from China. 100w LED drivers from the same company. Heatsyncs from heatsync USA. According to my multimeter the cool white is pulling 87w at the array and the warm white is pulling 96w at the array. Everything combined cost me <$180.
Start with plants and modifications:
Two days ago when I added the second light and flipped to 12/12 - this will be a perpetual micro-grow:
Progression:
Day: 1,4,7
9/2

Nice work! Do you have thermal paste under those LED's?

Glad to have you around. Not sure about ordering more just yet although I would love some 50watters to spotlight my aquariums... This is just an experiment so I went cheap and I'm staying small till I get a bearing on the whole LED thing.Originally Posted by Rcb

Of course, even sprung for the expensive 99% silver stuff. With a fan the heatsyncs are just warm to the touch but without moving air they get very hot. Can't imagine how long one of those arrays would last without thermal paste and a decent sync.
Invigorating seeing those chips and driver on the first image laying there waiting
Great work on the light, and that one with the round reflector looks very potent, how big is that fan anyway ?

The fan sitting on top of it? hehe, it's a fairly large one. 4.5'x4.5' I believe. Was pretty much the only 120v I could find but it pushes a ton of air and is built to last so I'm happy with it. If I ever do this again I'm going with one long heatsync and a single large fan like that in the center - it blows air down the length of the fins like crazy.
how interesting. fun project.
keep posting updates.
like to see the results on your grow.
