Well update on the lights

They work well

I recommend them if you have the ceiling height.

I ran the drivers outside of the grow room. Managing heat and humidity became an issue in late flower but was only running a very small AC to keep temps down. Upgrading that before it gets hot outside.

Thanks for the report Bluey those are some strong " beams " in that series. It gets above 85f in my 3x3 with 250watts i won't grow indoors for much longer.

I was trying to keep RH in the low 40's late flower SoOrbudgal and it was this that pushed the temps up. I could maintain 45/46 RH at 80⁰F but any lower on the RH and temps slowly rose if ambient was above 65⁰F.

A lot of the heat in the room was produced by 4 very inefficient 80W LED flood lights I used for corner fills. I only have an air-conditioner rated at 1.6kW cooling that only drew 480W at the plug, smallest available wall AC that are readily available.

The room is currently getting a make over. It smells of rat piss, is filthy and I need to get rid of my original lighting rack that effectively lowers the ceiling height by a good 10" and also move my storage rack and spare equipment and nutes out of the room and I had mounted the two SF7000's way too close together

All of that will take me a few weeks as I'm mostly out of state for work.

Growing outdoors here has proven really difficult over the last 4 years and now it's impossible with my neighbours who are doing all they can to make my life as difficult as possible.

New layout coming soon..stay tuned

Sorry about your shit neighbors i have really good ones on either side of me. They know i grow outdoors in summer. But my place is really tidy and we all take pride regardless of our incomes. I don't go to overboard with plants but it will stick towards the fall rippening. No complaints and no busy bodies. I get more visitors in summer here an my tent is in the only spare bedroom and gets the room very warm without the air on. I do better in fall temps indoors and humidity is better. Gets really dry indoors during summer in the house. Like now, I'm not running the central air yet just opening windows allowing breeze but it's hot an dry outside like in the 90's not good so early folks are barely getting veggie gardens up do to late winter an rain just 2wks ago .
