Thanks man. It'll end up being two 5x5 rooms. Probably going to set up two 6 bucket rdwc systems.

Yeah I'm hoping to get some strips soon. I'd say boards are the same as strips when they're spaced correctly, though I've never had any to play around with personally.

Awesome light dude...not telling you what to do but it might clean it up a bit up top this is how I hang my frames that I build just put a little locktite on the nut and your good
Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately i dont think it would work for me. That light of mine is hung from a single ratchet, that way i can raise and lower it from one point. Plus with my rope mess i can adjust the length of each one in order to make the frame hang flat. Idk in my opinion the framework for these lights could be beefed up. They seem to sag in places once they are hung.

Ya that’s what with my 5x5 light I had to put one in each corner or it would sag way to much that’s a sweet configuration tho with the light

It's kinda hard to see in that picture but there are 6 orange ropes coming from that center ratchet. I started out with just 4 and i didnt like the way it hung. So i added 1 straight out to each side to kinda raise the edges. Idk maybe square tubing of some sort would build better frames?

What are the details on this light? Looks awesome.
Oh it's one of them from growdaddy.com. i called and told him what i was doing and this is what he recommended. Its 20 strips run by two drivers. A 600h-30 controls 17 strips and a 150h-48 controls 3. All strips a wired in parallel to the drivers. Any other specifics, feel free to ask. Im not always the best at explaining either. 😉
