Nice…it’s all coming together nicely… You’re just hanging boards so no thermal, wago connectors and power cord… do you even need wagos??? Your just running driver to board, series…built in driver… So just the cord, screws/bolts & metal!!! Right?

Yea and wagos I guess are optional I could use other connectors . I’ll see when I get the driver

Well the bondage has begun!

Bertha has been tied up

She was growing to tall and the other ones are still short . Just for one more week then flower time .

LoL…don’t go getting too excited she’ll be standing straight back up within a day… i think the first time I successfully tied one up she was at like 28" - I tied her down to like 18/20" and the next day she had tips back to around 24"… LMAO… it’s funny because I was like “oh this is gonna be perfect” next day I get home from work and she’s practically right back where she was… It’s amazing how fast they turn to the light…

I started my hlg at half, around 24" above plants. Then I turned it up and adjusted distance each day. Plants seem fine, and the two under the rspec boards are loving life!

Thanks I had it on half so woot woot lol I have 4 minutes until my lights kick on and I can switch it!!! So excited !!!
