I build lights

So your peak bloom recipe is working out really well in one of my flower tents ttystikk, their ph drift seems to be going 6.0 - 6.3 every couple of days like clockwork so they are definitely happily munching away and they are looking very happy. (y)

Q - So do you normally go back from Peak Bloom(after 3 weeks) to just Bloom or do you finish your girls a different way?
Yes, I've been going back to the basic bloom recipe.

Nice! I'm a retired electrician that did mostly controls so I can see the skill level of your work, nice! But I just bought my light and supplemented with bulb bases in corners etc. to get the effects I want. I thought about doing something like you, glad to see you nailed it.
You must of accidentally clicked on my reply to @NoWaistedSpace bout his diy led lights he built for himself...lol Dont wanna take credit for sumthing that wasnt mine.. But i agree he can build sum nice setups.

Hey @TerpyTyrone whats good my dude? I am gonna be relocating hopefully soon after my current grow is done. Hoping to get back to having way more space to operate in. I currently run a 1000 watt dimmable HPS/MH set up. Thing is I don’t want to get back set up running multiple 1000 watt set ups. So I’m considering making the transition to more affordable and efficient lighting. Just curious on what you recommend as a replacement for a 1000 watt system. I’m thinking more full spectrum but I know shit about leds other than the blurple ones are ass. I’m hoping to get back set up with a good growing regimen of recurring harvests. So yeah…. Any input is welcome. Thanks growmie!

What size area are you filling? The recommendation is 600 watts for a 4x4. I'm using 400 watts in a 4x4 and it's doing 👌0104220615_HDR.jpg

I also built this 750 watt, 50 x 50 with 15 strips for a 5x5. 1212211307a_HDR.jpg1212211307_HDR.jpg1212211155.jpg
I use half 2700k , and half 2700k w added reds and blues for trich production. I am getting 30,000 lumens at 12" away on both models.

I have a 15 amp circuit Running this room 😄if I use my shop vac during lights on it trips. I dont know what the 1000 watt hps pulls for amps but I'm getting 392 watts @5 amps!
Right now I’m only running a 5x5 😞. But I plan on at least having enough space I can run a 10x10 but that all depends on we’re I locate. 😂 I’m not for sure how much of an amp draw I’m getting on the 1000 watt but I know I put it on its own 20 amp breaker with 3 inline fans. And my shop vac tent fans and intake inline fan and reservoir pumps run on their own 15 amp breaker. Lol I had the same tripping problems in the past now I just dedicate lines for shit.
