Hi Argo, at the moment I have 2 Hog, 2 Tutankhamen and a pain killer in flower 2 weeks to go. using an organic clackamas coot soil recipe now. seems to be working well, apart from a billion fungus gnats lol.
i had three four foot strips with like ten sockets each but i cut em down and gave em to people who had no trouble lights so this is what i have left. i picked up two cree 23 watters and sombody had returned a burned one so now i gotta glue it back together and get my 12 bucks back. I found a 100 watt corn bulb that has peeked my interest I might blow some cash on revamping a set up for the 2x4’s using 23 watter’s in there 23 x10 = 230W I like it.
well i changed it up a tad Now two three foot strips on 5.5 inch centers x6 for 138 W at 3K. 23 x 6=138 x 2 = 276W. Got the 6" dump fan hooked up to the day/night temp/dehumid controller. pretty slick.
Check your temps with a candy thermometer or even one of those stainless meat ones to get a good idea of the heat, ceramic plate ones don’t last very long, get a good titanium…you could get pretty good results with one of those sliding wood clamps as your pressure source…minimal investments to give it a shot
