That’s exactly what I love about the sonoff stuff. General peace of mind in our area is golden eh bro. The Mrs dad is a tin whistle maker and he has asked me to make him a climate controlled environment to “cure” the blackwood he uses. I may post that here too as it could be a cracking idea for a drying chamber
Heading to lowes tomorrow for some aluminum and a drill- was wondering what type of drill you guys use for the holes? im thinking a battery powered hand drill might not have the rpms
thanks for chiming in - stoked to dive into it all - wouldn’t have been able to do this without OG,that is for sure
Hi @anon58740919 @ReikoX
I first heard of sonoff on a post here on OG…a Google later I was hooked.
I’ve moved on in my shed and now have a cab with 3x 4chr2 controlling x2 th16s and one dual this gives me air and nute temp control, 2xhumidifiers for RH… a built in veg chamber running x2 solstrips at 5000ct and my main is a @anon58740919 special 10x 3500cct running at 23w per strip and x4 2700cct which will add an extra 140w for flower… before all thst is a pow2 for power management…
really must get round to a couple of threads…
You’ve got a similar space that I’m working with. Check out an earlier thread. I couldn’t be happier with these lights! Super easy to put together and not many tools required. SolStrip LED lighting: Product info and announcements
Not sure how everyone else does it, but I mounted my drivers outside of my grow space to limit the heat in the space. The drivers get pretty toasty!
Lol… I wanted my drivers in the space for exactly that reason UK winter gardeners…lol
Here’s my sonoff control centre
Dumb question but will I need all of the sizes or just the singles?
The assorted sizes help for many projects. I bought a box with 4 ports and wish I had some of the other sizes. If you have them on hand you’ll find creative uses for them lol
What he said.
He usually ships right before I push the ‘buy’ button
If its been a while, shoot him an email. He responds fast.
Ok I got my solsticks in the mail today- going to start this asap.
quick question about thermal tape/paste … for some reason i was assuming some tape came with this so i never really looked at anything.
what do you guys use for thermal solution to pass the heat from the strips to the sinks?
Thermal paste for CPU’s etc is the stuff to go for. Also don’t use metal washers under the screws, always use nylon washers. Good luck with your build pal
I use this stuff with strips but there’s plenty to choose from
