Post your Bridgelux buds

Been meaning to do some updates on how I'm getting on with my EB Gen 3 builds but I've been a mix of busy with other stuff and indecisive in choosing a basic camera. Anyway, long story short is, these strips fuckin rock. I see a lot of people on here debating which lights to get, maybe getting stuck in the fog like I did and wasting time researching wavelengths and diodes and trying to make sure they get the absolute best technology available.

There's nothing wrong with that as such, but if you want a proper rock solid barometer for what Led is capable of and you're willing to follow a DIY guide and buy some strips and aluminium, you won't go wrong choosing Bridgelux Gen 3s and knocking something together which will set you back maybe a few hundred dollars and be capable of yielding you well over a gram per watt with not much effort at all.

The plants in this last grow which came down about a month ago pulled me about 1.4 gpw of solid plus a shit load of little bits. Honestly they surprised the shit out of me with what they yielded in such a small space... It's ridiculous. Super happy I made the switch

Post yours up... Gen 2 or Gen 3..
I'll get more pics up soon but here's some for now.

Nice! I built one but haven’t used it yet. My build is 10 of the 4 foot 2700k cri90’s running on a hlg320h-42ab driver. I still need to build one more but I’m thinking about putting some violet leds in them also. What does your build consist of? Hope mine works as good as yours.

Here's a mid level side branch, on one of my pollen chucks. Fifty nights.
This is under Gen1 BXEB, combination of 3500K/3000K. Been running that lamp since 2017.
Long live the BXEB series.

Yours sounds nice. I've got some 2700k strips and I'm gonna replace my 4000k strips which I've put on two of the builds. Those ones are 50/50 mix with 3000k. I think the more red the spectrum the better. Might do some side by sides down the line but for now based on what I'm looking at the redder the better for flower and they work perfectly as a veg light.

No doubt. Solid nugs right down the plant. Not much fluff with these babies.

That's a gen1? Nice work

Here's some more stuff from current times.. Headbangers and El Chapo are the main bodies in this one, with some decent looking freebies and a few Dinafem Gorilla glue

These are all 7 weeks and a day and look like my possible keeper phenos out of the run.

Headbanger, longer flowering pheno. Stacking, looks like a yielder.



Another Headbanger or El Chapo (there was a mixup on the label so I don't know which it is, but it's nice. The fan leaves are thick with frost on this one, it's not often you see that.



Another nice pheno of HB.






L.A Amnesia (freebie) looks and smells lovely



Purple something from Reserva Privada. Another freebie and another nice looking one. Looks like a decent yielder too


Dinafem Gorilla. Few herms in this line but this one wasn't and is stacking from the ground up almost. Very nice structure on her.



Another HB pheno which looks tasty... this one hermied but I kept the top colas going after stripping the bottom half of the plant completely away and leaving only two male flower-free tops

I thought I saw a clitoris on that Headbanger's bud.

My buddies fixture. 10 2700k cri90 strips running on a hlg320h 42ab turned all the way up in a 4x4 tent. From seed and flipped July 21st. He never had time to build the other fixture so it’s only 320+ watts. I’m very impressed with the bridgelux strips.
