Hi Trevor, I have some LED strips coming today made up my frame, I only have 12 22 inch strips at the moment and a 240W driver, will that be to much power for them, I don’t want to damage them, I have a dimmer coming as well, if I don’t manage to break it like last time :slight_smile:

Depending on the driver, if it’s a xlg240-l-ab then you can hook up a min of 10 of the 590mm ones on the safe side in order to meet the lower voltage threshold… Probably could do 9 as it’s so close but your 12 will be fine

Yes I have the MFG : XLG-240-L-AB DESC: 240W LED POWER SUPPLY O/P +178~ 65.28000 65.28.

Excellent my 12 strips is enough to get it started, I will be ordering 4 more when they get them in stock.

Just looking at the packaging I was sent with the last ones 15X 24 inch plastic channel trays, thinking they might make a good run off tray for my smaller veg plant pots. :thinking:

Those older ones are definitely not happy bunnies, you never know they might start to get there act together when you threaten them with the machete :wink:

Well considering they’re flowering now, they’ll be done before they have a chance to do much of anything, anyway lol

God I hope my new ones take off.

I had to do the drive at about a foot of snow because the lodgers stupid friend came round and pulled into the drive and immediately go stuck right in the middle. Probably got another 6 inches out there now, have to do it again before it gets dark.

I’m just riding it out at this point, shoveling pathways out and waiting for tomorrow before I do the snow blowing. No sense doing twice the work, at least here it isnt expected to let up until tomorrow night!!

Got yourself all dug out yet Trev? We ended up with about 2 ft in the end, did the second run on the drive about 4.30, hurting a bit today, luckily no power outs.

I put the blurple light in my clone cab on Tuesday, it’s making a lot of heat, I am going to switch it for an 8 sil fixture, it will be cooler in there can’t get it below 80 f ATM. Not too bad for the seedlings, but the established clones are starting to suffer.

Snow started to slow down around 7 last night so grabbed the shovel and got to work. Finished up at midnight. I slept in today I was so beat up. Looks like there’s a bit more out there today.

I’m dealing with the opposite problem in my grows. I can’t get the temp above 22C. In my Bridgelux tent, last round, the temp was 17-19C through most of it. Even the SP250 tent with the driver inside can’t go higher than 22.
