Had a minor issue with labeling on the solo cups and ended up with a bit of a mixed bag this round. Despite the their labels saying Girl scout cookie one Blue widow and one Lemon berry joined the party...Here's the group at 8 1/2 week, one week to go.. /monthly_2016_07/57a6cc8b03cf6_whiterhinogscbw9weeks-.jpg.0d6e4274a27881010834d6d31ebeef6a.jpg
are those lights the Warm White LED's (Rapid Indus) part number: XPLAWT-00-0000-000LU60E7 3000K lum 220w each? I spoke with Mike today and he's switching out a onyx bloom fixture for me even thou the 18 month free replacement warranty ran out 2 month's ago. They are cool... I am def getting some of the Indus lights soon.
Thanks Nip.. Actual wattage for that room is right around 930 watts. I forget the exact number but there's a thread around here somewhere with readings from my clamp meter. The rack consists of 3 50" bars spaced 16" apart with the ends of the bars 5" or so from each end wall. That worked well in the 5x5 room, the other room is almost 12" longer with the extra foot pretty much in the dark. After adding a 40" bar on the end of the 3 50's I had close to a 30 sq.ft usable footprint. I think that rack pulls just over 1100 watts. I couldn't agree with JCIO more about rapid's customer services, top notch all the way..
Looking fine brother Duc.:redbong: That's some nice coverage on the lights too. I'm pushing 24 sq/ft for every two 600w HPS and barely getting enough coverage. 300w's less and 6 more sq/ft of garden is a big deal.
Thanks Res, I broke out the clamp meter and have some fresh numbers for you mull over. The smaller 25 sq.ft room with three 50" bars pulls 8.2 amps at 110 or 902 watts- 36 watts per sq.ft. The larger 30 sq.ft room with 3 50" bars plus 1 40" bar pulls 10,3 amp at 110v or 1133 watts- 37 watts per square foot.
