Re: Making a custom brand SMD grow panel

It does look like a really good deal. If you want 3500k just alternate 3000k and 4000k. That should be almost like a 3500k. If you build the light and it gets too hot or the light is too strong you can always buy more and run them softer. You can always suppliment. Blue or red if you need it. For t...

Re: Making a custom brand SMD grow panel

That 5 x quantum board ad is looking like a really good deal actually, right? Am thinking 3500K.. 35000 lm (even if this is not a PAR rating) seems cool! So thanks, will srsly consider it! I can always play around a little later supplementing with some wavelengths. Royal blue maybe? Will have to see...

Re: Making a custom brand SMD grow panel

I know quantum boards.. Seems good but i might prefer to build myself if its cheaper. Those samsung diodes do seem great with their luminosity. I have a cob and like it but honestly smd seems better for me because they are less of a point source of light and the heat generated is concentrated too. N...

Vat is 21% unless from within europe. Above 150eu there is import costs. I think also ordering from a legit tech company which ships through DHL is part of the issue cause it must be declared. I got my (pretty unusual) led strips by getting a paid test sample and for companies courier shipping would...

Hey! Thanks very much for the response and help. :) I'm in the Netherlands and I grow ethnobotanicals, curiosities and things like pseudo bonsai versions of plants like avocado, baobab..

Making a custom brand SMD grow panel

Hi guys :) I'm into LED gardening, I made a full spectrum Cree COB unit already which is exceeding expectations... However my grow cabinet is 2-tier and I am really sick and tired of my HID... such a shitty spectrum and so much heat. I have one tier meant as an arid zone and the other for a more hum...
