Need help with lighting for my 10"x10" micro grow box

gorillaglueaaron · Jan 7, 2021

I'm putting together some designs for an absolutely tiny grow box but the one thing I can't figure out is lighting for it.
I'm challenging myself to stay in the 10"x10"x10" parameters so buying a pre-made led is pretty much off the table.
Does anybody have any ideas for me?
Has anybody ever built a qb from individual diodes?

That takes away minimum 4 inches off of the 10 I'm using.
I'm trying to give maximum 2 inches to the lights accounting for heat. So I'd like the plants to be able to grow up to 2" from the top.

LMAO You got about as much chance of making that work as you do growing a pound in a gallon pot. Maybe you should start a contest.

As I said, I'm challenging myself.
I think I can do it after a few tries. If not, I guess I'll look like an idiot but at least I'm trying.
