I was actually mocking up plans using fence posts - great minds think alike! Temperature was my concern as well - and the cool tube idea sounds interesting.

My plan was leaning towards the Arctic 11's, but probably gets down to how they are going to be mounted. Considering something like the Battlestar Ganjatica design where I can expand and shrink coverages based on the setup. I really like modularity, but I don't think I want 20 hanging...

Just another DIY 3070 grow slamming in the numbers. Nice!

An And THIS is why I'm still pondering CMH! Very nice!

Good thoughts and that's kind of where my head is at to be honest. My next set of lights likely fill a 4x8 tent - not exactly filling a grow operation! I'm thinking of picking up 20 of the 3070 top bin's when cash becomes available, but haven't settled on a design or layout just yet.

Forgot to add, I'm also strongly considering CMH as well. Really impressed with the grow journals with this tech - likely the LEC 315's if I go this route.

Planning my next set of LED veg/flower lights and looking for other opinions. I'm considering in the longterm opening up a recreational store in CO, so dollars spent today as a hobby might end up being 'pro' down the road. That leads me to my next question which is do I DIY a 3070 build or...

This for flowering or veg? I'm interested in the feedback myself as I know there are some strong camps in the all white and deep red supplement crowd. Guessing blue isn't needed, but I'm new at this! Grabbing the popcorn....

Appreciate it. No rush, and will follow this thread and any grow journals you have. Thanks!

Didn't word that the best. It's a selling point, but clearly not the only selling point. My point better stated is documentation is an easy fix and helps tie the product to their video demo. I'd be a bit frustrated as a new customer to buy it and then have to figure all that out myself when...

Onyx sells their housings which would be a nice polished look. There are quite a few approaches in the DIY thread as well.

I think the point is made. My advice? Move on. As this drags on it looks more and more like a vendor bash thread. To many ifs and overreaching responses here. You made the point, now people are wallowing in it and you are straying from your tone in the very first email. Buy something else...

I appreciate your input - nice to spitball something together anyway. I've decided to split my rails up on two separate frames with different reservoirs and will work on that tonight. Beyond the obvious nutrient problem, the Ann is going to be ready to flower before the Ac Gold anyway...

That's a problem as it's a major 'selling point' for the new light. They need to get that fixed so that it's very straightforward. Very interested in your thoughts on these as you get some time with them.

I thought I was battling nitrogen deficiency as well, thus the reason I went 'richer' in my mix this second fill of veg. So you are saying water change and drop to 100ppm? I'm a little concerned that might impact the Ann variety as it's doing well. I'm definitely learning the virtues of a...
