11x11 LED micro scrog.

Thanks for the kind words. It is really nice little package. If I can hit the GPW mark it will be good enough for me! Couple if pics:

i have 7 more slots on my heatsink that i can fill up with LEDS. So I am currently thinking out some different combinations of colors and additional drivers etc. I really like the CW Chips they are so bright and i think really help with the intensity of the lights and attributing to the denseness off the buds. RIght now im thinking 2x660, 2xWW, 2xCW and either 1UV(430?) or 1 IR(730?) still researching and reading. then i could run all of the whites and blues on a new higher amperage driver and leave the Reds on the 700ma. So, i would be getting more power out of the whites and more light spread, i think at this point i should probably add a fan though

update:

2 Weeks from harvest

Very nice! I wanna see what will happen if ya throw some lens's on that sucker, might help with the wire n plug blocks you mentioned. Looking great bro, can't wait til my ladies ones plump up.

Had to harvest a bit early. Just under 32 grams dry. can quite easily increase the yield by 50% next grow. BUY LEDS.

Ive been thinking about lenses but was not sure if that would mess up the light color mixture(homogenous?) and that the plants would get concentrations of one color or not enough of another.

This does become an issue, your light will have a certain minimum distance to ensure the colors mix properly.

Looking good, thanks for sharing your work

I can vouch for UVB being no good for a len's type system. I ordered 2 on my 100 diode panel from china and the buds directly under them have intense bleaching/leaf burn in a circular pattern, this is using 90* lens advertised. I think adding quality lens's would allow you to run the panel as high as you want in there, and be able to veg longer and produce bud's farther beneath the canopy. As long as you give the plant's enough distance from the panel (Even with lens's), the color's will blend enough. I had this problem with my U.F.O. without len's as I had hoped keeping the fixture 4-6" from the canopy would help penetration. It turn's out the color's not mixing at that distance was kinda hindering growth and the it was clearly stressed (Swirling,malformed, slow-growth...). After seeing your cab, and stumbling on a dude on another forum with a non lens panel, he said he had been told to raise his light 8"-10" instead, and his cut started growing back normally, I did the same with similar result's. Now if only you could get that extra 12" vertical the lens would require ?...

nice job bro...

Damn, can't believe I missed your thread. Good job. Once upon a time I was going to pull the trigger on a rapid but for 2 x4+++ grow areas, it gets expensive. Also, at that time I was trying to educate them about NW and WW diodes

My rough diode recommendation is

CW 0%
NW 20-25% (does everything CW does and much more)
WW 70% (though I would replace ~ 25% if it with 640-650)
DR 15% 640-650 + 5% 660

3 separate drivers + 3 o/o switches (or plug in as needed)

Veg: 100% NW + ~ 30% WW
Pre-Flower 100% NW + 100% WW
Mid-Flower 100% NW + 100% WW + 650-660

To correct my above statement, it was in fact the 740 IR that was causing the intense bleaching with the 90* lens, I removed the lens and the leaf burn is non-existant now. I have actually added a shite honeycomb diffuser style lens to kinda tone them, as well as the 410nm U.V. diodes since I am sure they are both overpowered in terms of intensity.
