    DIY 150 Watt 18"X18" 48 diode grow panel

    I have not installed plugs on my driver or on my series string. Just twisted wires together. Plugged bare wire ends of driver into extension cord. Could not having a solid mechanical connection be the problem?

    II am going to try to post some pics of each individual led in the string that I am working with. It seems that the image posting method has changed since the last time that I posted here (year and a half). I'm sure that I will figure it out. Here is where I'm at. Using 20 gauge solid bell...

    Don't think so. I have gone down the string checking each led for function. They all worked and I never had to flip my tester to make one come on.

    Just had some company arrive to spend the night. I will take some pics tomorrow. Just before my company got here, I inserted the blue leds into my series in the order that you suggested. Hooked up the driver...still nothing. I have tried two of my drivers. I will try another one tomorrow. I...

    Thanks. If you were to change something, would it be lights or drivers. Although not perfect, you seem to think that this should work. If they should, why do you think I could not get it to light up?

    I have 49 spots. I was thinking 4 strings of 12, or 3 strings of 12 and 1 string of 13. I was considering using all 10 blues. Should I mix the red and blues on each string or have an all blue string? From my research I know that I don'tneed too many blues. Is there an accepted red/blue ratio

    I recently decided to switch the lighting in my grow box from cfl to LED. My box inside dimensions are 23"x23"x45". I like to do things for myself, so I figured that this would be a snap. NOT! LED array design is rather involved and quite technical. At least it seems that way to me. I'm in...

    I have been meaning to post a pic of my harvest on the scale. Well, I finally got around to it. Here it is. The other photo is of the clone of the plant that I harvested last month. The clone is the result of; after using the Uncle Ben topping method, I smeared cloning goop all over the cut...
