Hi Growers, haven't been on in a while. Good to see some 'familiar' stagers still about.
Been busy growing : )
My journey took me all over the place with lighting from HPS /hydro the last 3 grows have been LED only.
The custom Apollo 8 worked ok, tbh, maybe just by power alone it performed budwise as well as the A-51. But I sold it on more of concern for its lifespan... which is kinda ironic since the A51 blew a driver on the first run Lol..
I was interested in building some smaller lights around my a-51.
The most recent incarnation I have sg160 with two 50w warm floods either side .. in a row over two 12g totes. (ie pulling around 360watts)
I'll post up some pics of my auto garden (with blumats/ ROLS/ no heat... I kinda forget its there : ))
but I have an immediate question for the buffs.
Was thinking of adding mayb 2 BML 12" arrays between the floods with wide angle reflectors to add in reds.
Good idea? I was thinking mostly 625 /660 perhaps with a UV either end. Adding these arrays soon coming into flower.. Still good? I know the various broad opinions on lighting, any thoughts or options re balancing these (100watts of 3300k either side)??
