I almost forget...too many kingkong's in my head!
Is anyone can tell me the size of the copper wire i do need to use to put the cob in serie.European size will be great but the U.S one in Awg will be greatly appreciated too.
I know it is 8 awg 600V from the driver to the wall, but from the driver and between the cobs which one is it?
And i will need wago to connect the wire(which one?) Or there's better way?
Last thing (for now...lol) do you think (I'm sexy...too many weed i told ya!) That is difficult to put prolimatech on cob? Is there a video who show how to?
Thanks and have a good day★

Optic Lighting comes close to what you want. (LINK) And given all your myriad questions on building your own light, I would recommend that you buy rather than build. Too many weed spoil the COB.

Hello Fellow green thumbs!

I am in the process of building a new indoor setup, and I want to make teh switch to LED.

I already have a tent, and I am wanting to make sure that the lights I am lokoing at will do the job.


Here is my Tent:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9O6UJ0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2WRS4X4C0GMOQ

and Im looking at these lights:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XC3LBIW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AKPEMWWZ95494

If the lights are suitable, will I need one or two fixtures? I pretty much stick to Autos. Right now myh Favorite is Trans Siberian from Auto Seeds.

Thanks in Advnace!

It comes out around 31 watts per square so your at the max limit for coverage. 4 -360s would be cats ass in that space!:weed: remember multiple smaller units are better than big singles for coverage. 720watts of optic in each 4x4 is where its at!

I know that. I was aiming for that kind of watts, even 1600, but I just wanted to ask if will be sufficient for a normal growth. Would I yield a lot less with the two 500 watt fixtures then with the 4 360W. If I start with the 2 500s, who know maybe in time I'll get two more and add it up to an even 2000W, wouldn't that be cats ass squared :P.

The 500 will get you there. Its just a more even coverage with multiple smaller units. 500 is a beast! Hey? if u decide to buy them? stop over in the vero grow thread and show us how your making out with it! that promo code will help save couple hundred!
