DIY Light, 2x2, Scrog, Maui Wowie

Hey everyone! Ok here is a journal I’m starting and I’ll be Scrogging a Maui Wowie fem seed from ILGM in my 2x2 tent using a DIY strip build. (More info how to build on @dbrn32 thread). So I installed the light and flipped to 12/12 on 4/18/18. It’s bright and covers this space nicely!! The strips are 3000k. Around 100 true watts.
