Let's see the chassis :)

I feel obligated to post! NEVER run high power LEDs I.e 1-5w without a constant current driver. Using just resistors will cause the led and the resistor to overheat. As a resistor heats it's resistance decreases increasing the current across the led. Even if you increase the resistance to to...

Sorry I live at the US pentagon. We do things differently here. Is that a metric or imperial pint glass??? :p

I'm in, his panel design looks quite modern.

Haha your findings I would agree with. It's not about lumens but par. Par is what plants eat to live on. The rest is just for us to take a better look ;)

That's a good plan. Aim for more realized thc rather than CBN. CBN can cause nausea and the dreaded washing machine affect if you made bubble hash or oil it would be quite an unpleasant buzz. Mind you I love sativas! Lol

Interesting! My controllers don't have an earth wire on them but my metal chassis certainly does! That's electronics 101. Funny design those controllers have it seems.

They seem custom.good for DIY panel builders. I might invest in a few.

English is good and I'm on board with the topic. For those that know me, I'm a keen bean on building my own panels. Just ordered some multichip pcbs looking at making a grouped version for side lighting.

Haha ouch! I may give it a miss! It is common knowledge that interrupting girls night time creates hermies. Yet outdoor plants don't seem to phased by moonlight? Perhaps I'd you introduce the it trick from day 1 of flower it may not affect gender?

Rasser is dead right! Buy a relay timer to fully isolate the circuit.

Thanks for the correction! Haha quite right.

Haha nice one :) PSUAGRO that's a smart one!

Interesting! I will have to agree. if you cut mains power then their should be no power! Did you check to make sure it doesn't just stay dimly lit for a short period of time? If it does lets say 10 minutes it may simply be filtering capacitors in the controllers discharging. But they would be...

Nice one! Good to see another micro programmer. Seems there's ALOT of Cluey people on RIU. Temp control would reduce power consumption slightly which is always a plus. Arduino system have plug n play temp control sensors and the 328 atmel has PWM outputs for regulating fan speed. I have...
