First off, big thanks to Gardo who's kindly agreed to guide me thru this build.
Currently I'm using 400w of cfls. I'm happy with the results but aware I could be more efficient and get smaller leccy bills with a LED strip system... tho cfls do help with heating the tent in these cool months, I'm not sure how manageable it'll be in the summer months.
The tents insulated and hidden beneath a worktop, hence the low height. Wish I could go bigger but this is it for the foreseeable future.
I'm guessing power will be around 105w to 175w if I'm doing my calculations right...ish. I was thinking of having 2 drivers so I could control left side and right, but now thinking I'll go with just the one as I can't really see me having 2 plants at drastically different heights.
Looking forward to this... no idea what tools I'll need but I'm guessing I'll be learning to solder? Heard Samsung are the best strips so I'll aim for those if poss.
Cheers again Gardo, take your time, I'll be on here constantly so won't leave you hanging when you do get the opportunity to instruct
