help with home made led lights
yeah, basically, my issue as stated by Hermie there. so i dunno, i'm not trying to be a drag on anyone, and, i'm sure at some point, walking people through things gets old, but i know if i had a few wholes filled in i'd be able to figure out what needs to happen. Ether way, its cool.
peaces. :)

right, so, specifics. I'm looking for 30-40w using all 5w 660nm LEDengin emitters. that is the goal, in which i'm having a real hard time finding a driver for.(20-25w would even work)
alohamahalo, i am so sorry, i'm hijacking your thread hardcore. BUT!, if you ever got around that issue with your soil, my two pennies would go to a looser soil mix, or go straight coco. On top of that, i'd look into airpots, i use em, they are the bees knees, only better.

wow. i havent been on the forums in awhile. my roomies canceled the internet and i finally went to starbucks to use the internet. haha.
anyways, wav3, weeze. i ended up using meanwell drivers(one for each color). they work good and so do the LEDengin emitters. the plant i grew wasnt the best but it was my first grow. the plants i got going now are turning out much better. i think the strain was also part of the problem. it was given to me from a friend and was also already too big for my box. i wanted to add onto my panel for the next grow but money wasnt and still isnt on my side so i added cfls to the grow box and its looking good. ill post some pics next time i come to starbucks.
weeze, once again...mahalos braddah. they didnt taste good(my fault) but i wouldnt have had smokes this month with out you braddah...CHEEEE!!!!!!!

Drove this from a couple voltage regulated supplies for a while.
Then got smarter.
Added 3 current regulators and ran them with a laptop power supply mounted on the light atop the fan;

Here's the simple schemo for the cheap n easy current regs;

Hey weeze, I got a question for you about sending and receiving seeds in hawaii. Pm me with a answer or just reply here. Either way works. But the question is what's the safest way for a friend in cali to send seeds to me in the hi state? I been playing around with bagseeds and wanna try a strain that I know what it is.
let me know braddah. Thanks. And pictures from my last grow are coming.
Mahalo in advance.
Alohamahalo
