Forest LED Grower

Hello guys ....

I want to grow in a forest using a grow box ....

I got my arduino uno, 100 red LEDs + 50 blue LEDs .... i will add LEDs as the plant grows ... light spectrum on LEDs on the spot, peak blue and red

question about batteries needed ...

average power usage:
arduino 7 - 12v 20 mAh - arduino to run LEDs
LEDs 3 volt high bright. 15-20 mAh (that's what i got from a google search ....)
a couple of 3v dc fans will run on different batteries....

i will stop twice daily at the box if needed .... leds will run 24 hours for the veg stage ....

can i hook up a 12v 15Amp or 25Amp or a few r/c batteries 7.4 V 4800mAh/battery (can go up to 6-7000mAh/battery) and change with a fresh battery every 12 hours ... once a day would be great .... entrance and exit to site is very safe .... no one will see me enter and leave, still if i can keep it to a minimum then that will be great ....

got camera and sensors on box to let me know of any movement. access via android cellphone

been thinking of this project for 2 years .... been doing a lot of research....

only thing i have trouble with is power supply.... i don't know voltage, electricity and and and hahahahaha

and help guys ???


Thank you very much

I tried to do this for the longest time. It's going to be too power hungry no matter how you look at it man. Think you'll need climate control too. Stuff all eats power and RC batteries aren't going to cut it when you start getting into the math. sorry

thanks man .... i didn't mention .... it summer here .... that's a plus ....

okay, shot thanks man .... well i will go with a second choice ..... letting the box stand at a friends house .... too many smokers in the house so i am afraid the weed won't last till the end hahahahah.....

all the best ....
