I'm fortunate in this respect. The first time I invested in a bunch of DIY LED components, it was a challenge. Once the first batch was harvested, it became clear I no longer had to conceal the price of equipment.

Lights are as close as 10 inches to the top of canopy at 340 watts. Only 2 plants in this 4x4 tent. Organic soil grow running Purple Dream from Greenpoint Seeds. I usually defoliate a lot more than this, hopefully they stop stretching because I am running out of height!

You've got ample clearance at 10" yet....

Was messing around in the flower tent a little bit today and decided to hang my HLG 260W V2 RSpec vertically to hit the lower growth. I dimmed the HLG light all the way down but all in all there is still over 400W of LEDs blasting at these 2 girls.
3 fans + an exhaust fan running in the tent, maintaining around 76 degrees now. How much light is too much?

Arrow Electronics has dropped the price of the 3,000K strips I use to only $5/each. They were $23 before. I bought another 15 immediately. I didn't look to see if the other ones (3500K, etc...) were also cheap now. I've got some plants vegging under the 3,000K and they're loving it.

Those are the double row Influx Linear line. 96 diodes for under 8 bux each (after the f'n tarrif) is still pretty good. I penciled out a 480W build earlier that came in well below a buck a watt....

First and foremost nice build!!!! Now on to the Q and A I am slowly looking into leds
For a build is the list below the only things needed?
Does the driver have to be programmed or is it like a conventional ballast plug n play
The Strips how do you get that nice spectrum of colors
more question to come. Your build was 4 hundred plus dollars. Is your light more powerful that the typical store bought light and does it have different funtionality
