currently i have 2 tents, 2.5x2.5x5, each running 3 vero 29 D gen 7 3500°k @2100ma. Rapid led kit in their 6x20 active cooled enclosure. Im looking to build 4, 12” supplemental bars. Each bar with 11 diodes: 5 cree xpe he 660 photo red, 4 cree xpe far red 730 and 2 cree xpg-3 royal blue 450+/-. 2 bars per tent. Drive the bars using the ldd 4 up board and mean well 36 volt power supply. Ch 1 the royal blue, ch 2 the 730 and ch 3&4 the 660s, 1 ch per tent and finally a storm controller. Im sure there is a way to wire this setup easier and keep it economical? Maybe 2 4 up boards, 3 drivers per giving each tent its own 3 channel control? Will be driving the blue at 1000ma and reds at 700ma. If im correct, should be about 65 watts at the wall, 56 to the diodes, 28 per tent. Any potential problems with how ive paired components? Is this too much? I want to be able to play around with the emerson effect, 730nm flower initiating and the effect of increased blue. I chose the xpg-3 royal blue because it seems to have a nice curve spanning a good chunk of the mid 400nm range but im considering something lower in the range(410-420). Any input on the technical aspect of this build is appreciated, many thanx.
