Designed and built myself from what I saw other people doing.
Nice. Is that 4x100 watt panels?
2x240.
They have a 240, 480 and 720 watt model.
Interesting. Have you used those panels through a few cycles? They work ok?
I have 2 tents. The smaller veg tent is 2x100w spyderfarmer. Works pretty well, doesn't get hot. The larger tent is 1x400w. I think if I had to do it again I'd get 4x100+w instead so I can have panels spread out and at different heights. Though the 400w panel is decently big.
These are under my old lights, some phlizone cree COB and blurples, work fantasticly on their own, but no dimming and the COBs are stanking hot, gotta keep it pretty high up or there’s a nice hotspot in the middle. So doesn’t leave overly much room for stretch. It also warms the tent up hugely too, can’t remove drivers and the lights just emit a bunch of heat too.
Left is the 2x240 (attached together as one) flower tent and right is in the phlizone 2x250 veg tent.
There is definitely some benefit to having Individual panels for when you get different canopy heights from phenotype variances.
Yes they work fantastically, I can keep it low and low power for a small canopy, or I can lift it up and crank up the power for some canopy penetration, nots of these quantum boards can’t get much canopy penetration with how “low power” they are.
