Even though those power meters look to be inaccurate regardless if your measuring on the dc side like it looks you’ll need to factor in that you will only get around 0.9-0.91 of what you will be reading at the wall due to driver efficiency loss, also make me wonder if you may be out of there normal operating voltage range thus them giving you some wonky readings as they cant accurately measure the voltage for wattage calculations.

Thanks for taking the time @Mr.Sparkle
This is my first strip rodeo, so I may be doing something wrong.
Here’s a snapshot of what I THINK I have going on.
I have 10 strips connected in series to the XLG-150.
My calc sheet…

Easy to check with a multimeter, but will note your strips are probably running at a lower voltage than what they say is typical, at least in my case with the gen 2 strips even though typical is listed at 19.5v mine run in the 19.1-19.2v range even over driven so it throws off the math slightly

Hmmm. Am I inducing even more voltage drop?
I forgot to mention the longer cabling being used for remote mounting the driver and dimmers.
From driver to DROK 6ft.
From DROK to strip array, 10ft.
Will start to educate myself on how to test with my multimeter, safely.

depending on wire gauge maybe but wouldn’t be that much all i was saying is even though they list typical voltages “typically” its less voltage at nominal current then what they list as from a reputable manufacturer perspective and legality side better to overstate certain things and come under those or visa versa than make completely false claims all together.

Roast away!
I shall join you in popping some more seeds. Probably drop some of the bagseed you sent along along with 1 other strain.

These survived near 100f temps - dome required to maintain high rh.
Enuff with the bagseed.
Time to get these beans popping. Peace and Love into 2021.

Hi bro how are those sex cheaters ?
I always thought they were expensive
How many do you get and how much ?

Approx $10 per plant/test.
Here’s the scoop @Papalag
I like how it’s setup to pay for testing separate from the collection kit.
The cotyledons can be tested.
