Shiggityflip - Follow The Yellow Brix Road With The Perfect Sun 1000

Several things Tead.

First of all the theoretical max efficiency is higher with these Samsung diodes than with Cree cxb3590s. I am running these boards at 75w each and getting a real world efficiency of 1.85 lumens/watt. I could run them softer and hit about 2 lumens/watt. To get to 1.85 lumens/watt you would have to run a lot of Cree cobs.

Secondly the build is a pretty light one compared to cobs. And the spread of the boards allow me to spread the fixture out and get very even light. And since the diodes are spread out I need no additional heatsink besides the Aluminum PCB that the diodes come on.

Thirdly I have always wanted even light to fill in the shadows on the plant. Cobs are way better than a single bulb like an HPS, and I have had success with my ps1000 and using a mover. But ideally I am looking for light coming from every direction. The best way to get that done is a board. These wide boards also help keep the light below the fixture by reflecting it back down.

There are no lenses available yet for these boards but once they arrive it will allow me to focus the light even more. That's when this tech will really shine. But even now the amount of light I am getting makes my CMH lights look dim.

Here are pics of my sour bubble I took today. Sunset day 50!!!! This strain is basically done but it keeps packing on trichs. I make a day to day decision on whether to chop!

Killer! She's ah frosty alright!
 
Holy shit Shigs... it appears to be working!

Thanks for letting me pick your brain. No plan has formed in my swampish brain yet... but something may climb from the brackish muck soon and these little bits of info help make the idea congeal some.
Right now, I'm pondering lights that would be mountable inside a CoolTube.... or perhaps some other homemade enclosure to easily vent out the heat.

This fixture is producing so little heat. I can rest my hand on the boards and it doesn't get uncomfortable. I actually bumped my head into the diodes and didn't singe any hair lol
 
Man Shiggs you're killin it here. I can't wait for my bluniverses. I tried growing them once before, I planted 3 and all turned out to be dudes. I got 2 babies up now, 1 I'm not too sure about, they sprouted together and 1 is starting its 1st set of 5 bladed leaves and the other barely has the 1st set of 3 bladed. I just want 1 chick damn it!

Hey shiggs, instead of adding single diodes or 90cri cobs, gonna add 4 of the 90w boards. That should diversify my spectrum better, I hope. Gonna be a few more wires, have to have 3 drivers to dim the 3 colors

The wavy boards? They only run in one driver. It's all colors or none. Or do you mean the chilLED boards, they allow separate control.

I'm praying for a fat trich filled girl that tastes like blueberry bubble gum Neiko. You deserve it!

Chil, 4 90watt boards. I'll build another frame, and add the 4 boards to the cobs. Instead of single diodes, I'll use boards with each color on a dimmer.

Those chilLED boards are pretty damn sweet man. Hope you manage to get some before they run out!

I've already paid, I talked to vitally, I think that's his name yesterday. I got 8 boards coming with heatsinks, 4 for me , and 4 for my dad. He said they will ship 1st of June. I think he is already about out, damn near sold out before release. Now I gotta come up with a design for frame. I'm gonna use 4 boards with 20 cobs. Just not sure how I'm gonna arrange everything. I wish there was program to help design, that's where I might need some help. I'm gonna have each channel on separate dimmer, to give more control. He said he low balled the specs, but at 1050ma he said I should be around 2.6micro mole/joule. Good thing once we get done building these lights, we should be good for next 6 or 7 years
 
Yes exactly. Then I will dim them to half power and use them as veg lights lmao.
 
Maybe I'll get some good karma, I gave away a light this week, but it cost me $50 to ship it. It's going to good home. I have 2 more I need to get rid of. Maybe that will change my luck. I have 5 or 6 growths( maybe tumors), haven't had biopsy yet. So I'm hoping to get Lady Luck back on my side lol. I'm trying to get stocked up in case it is something bad and I have to take time off work.

I still can't stop starring at your sour bubble, the colors look awesome

Thanks man for the compliments on Sour B. She is entrancing me. It's my first time growing this pheno. My other pheno sucked so this is a total surprise!

Sending you some good energy for those biopsies. Get em done asap. And start dosing heavy on cannabis. I just tried juicing yesterday. Took 25 leaves and blended then with 1 cup OJ, then filetered the solids out using a French press coffee maker. It was not nearly as yucky as I thought it might be. I am going to try it again today and keep it up. Massive doses of chlorophyll, cannabinoids, terps, thca, all without getting me high. I don't want to toast my tolerance lol.

Kingston Rabbi suggests you mix the juiced leaves with V-8. It really covers the cannabis taste.

Buckshot, get those tests done so you know, and do start dosing with cannabis anyway. Why wait for results to encourage homeostasis? If those tests come back and you have reason to be concerned I expect you to track me down and get to work on an effective protocol.

But we're going to assume things are well and all you need are a steady source of cannabinoids to get the masses to shrink away. :battingeyelashes: :Love:
 
I need to start looking at buying a house so I can do a setup like yours. Seriously awesome with all your DIY lights and stuff. It's my next step but gotta own the place I do it at first .. Always fun checking in here shiggs!

Happy Saturday Shiggs! I just got my hands on some Black Cherry Soda beans from In House. I saw on IG that this strain is highly sought after and hard to get. They had 4 packs left. $150 for a 10 pack of regs.........they better be incredible!

Thats what the original GDP costs too. They must be proud of it, eh?
