That’s true for me. If I didn’t see your build and results first hand I wouldn’t have even looked bro.
Not too expensive on eBay bro and saves pulling a multimeter out every time you want to set your output. Are you running both aspects on separate relays or are they all to be run as a permanent fixture bro?
One driver for the 2700K bars (240-watt) and another for the 4000/5000K bars (120-watt). Both dimmable. They will replace the 150-watt CMH ballast and bulb.
Not too far off my spectrum really. Just with full strips rather than cobs. I like the idea. Just with the ammeter mate. Your ac live goes through a little ring. So you will have to split the feed to both drivers separately after that. (That’s why I used the sonoff. Same principle for the fan driver) that makes sense to me if it doesn’t read right let me know I’ll try again lol
Yeah, I think I get how it works. AC->ammeter->AC splitter->drivers
Already found it on Amazon prime and tomorrow is payday 
That’s the ticket. The one I ordered from amazon never showed up. The one from eBay was here in less than a week. Not too sure what amazon is like your side but they’re not too great here. Look forward to seeing what you do with your strips. So many good projects going on on OG it’s unreal
Hey @Robin I’ve got my Build Thread and my Grow Thread (The Grow thread is quite long, but LOTS of good ol OG info in there from many sharp and brilliant minds)
If you like build threads, i’ve also got a lab thread Collection of Experiments
And like @ReikoX I ordered my strips before the Sinks came out, but just barely. I think a week after I ordered them he told me via PM that he was going to be offering custom heatsinks. I might have been his first order on the sinks lol.
@anon58740919 I’m probably jumping on the ammeter bandwagon too, your build is inspiring and I can do better than my duct tape and bailing wire build. Just need to get a half month down time so I can redo the cab like I want lol. My blumats are killin it but I really want to play with ebb and flow/Flood and drain. One day when I have the space I still want to build a PPK setup as seen on IC.
Shit, Now I have one of those on the way too. Thanks for the link!
I look forward to seeing what you both do now. I’m still seriously considering turning all 3 iws oxypots into single rdwc’s already bought coco. Means I can edge into proper hydro whilst maintaining a false sense of security 
Excellent write up on the soil mix. That’s pretty much my standard mix as well. However, I ordered some New Zealand spagmoss to give it a try as a replacement for my promix. It’s the same material just in different states of decomp.
Thanks @DavesNotHere, yeah it’s a pretty basic soil recipe. The first batch was expensive because I had to buy all the ammendments, but that’s made at least 6 cubic feet (45 gallons) of soil and teas with plenty left over.
I’m going to be mixing up a big batch for my outdoor herb garden this spring. I already purchased a used greenhouse I may try and sneak an early autoflower in there. 
Here is a shot of my whole garden, everything got pulled out and watered today.
Closer look at the Durban Poison, I wish the screen was full, but it’s going to be good anyway.
Closer look at some of the purple buds, finally getting a bit of sweet aroma to them.
So here is the initial light bar. Here I have marked and punched the six new holes.
Next I drilled the holes for the other three bars and the hanging chain. Then I added the 4000K and 5000K light bars. Here are the veg lights all the way turned down.
Here are the bloom lights all the way turned down.
All lights, all the way turned down.
And finally everything turned up to 11!
I didn’t quite finish wiring the LEDs, so just the veg lights are wired currently. I want to put a switch on the AC side of both these drivers.
100% agreed . 20 characters
You agree a minisplit is overkill for <1000 watts of lighting? Or you agree I should do a minisplit.
100% over kill
a portable unit would do just fine
a hermetically sealed room is nice but not necceary at all esp for a 1000 watt op
Once u get to 8-16000w yes sealed room and mini split
I love a.c overkill!
where would you put it? in this room ?
The window unit I have now is behind me in this photo, the larger window unit will still fit (it’s a big window). The whole room is 10’x10’ I plan to build two 4’x4’ rooms with about 500-watts of LED each and a 2’x4’ drying closet. I’m still on the upgrading power step.
You want 6000 BTU per 1000 watt and that’s with HPS open hoods and considering fans giving off heat, other things etc
with LEDS I would assume would wouldn’t even need that
I would just get a 12000 btu portable AC (this can also be done in sealed rooms if u want they have ones that don’t directly exhaust just the heat. a lot of nicer window units do the same thing)
That’s still over kill (within reason) and will cool the room easily and you will still have room for expansion
that’s my reccomendation idk something to consider
So this just happened… Thanks to @anon58740919 and @Robin for turning me on to these Sonoff switches. The work bench is getting an upgrade 
Yeah, that’s the route I will likely take. I’m excited and have been squirreling away money for the upgrade. The A.C. will likely be the second upgrade after power.
