Mal, what type of LED lamp are you using? I'm looking forward to trying out the RnB-ratio to find the "sweet-spots"! adjusting the height and all... gon' be good! I'll be doing scrog by the way. fast first round, then Perpetual H with good mother-bonsai.

We'll see how this project turns out. I have had some issues with half-assing and over-thinking. I've got a strange combo of theoretical detail-fixation and sloppy practical application going on
gotta be careful on mixing metals and water especially moving water. think weezard mentioned something about that earlier. if the solder will stick you can do it but that doesnt mean you should.

epoxy in a lot of ways is like solder. it has to be able to grab a hold of something to stick or be able to etch a spot it can hold on to. find one that is for heat and water and you should be ok. i will mention some have funky chemicals that out-gas
from somewhat moderate heat depending on where its used it generally wont matter tho.

i have a blackdog bd360 in my veg tent and bd700 for my flower tent. the closest i can get the360 to the plants is 14 inches once they get a little bigger. i havent had a flowering plant under the 700 yet but the co. says without co2 its around 18+ depending on the age of the plants. and it will fry them like nothing....i had to see what would happen....didnt i?
