    I am sure almost all of the prolific posters here could do that given legality, money and a few months time.

    Pictures of your DIY lights - Post your pics!!!

    These are the 3rd and 4th generation versions that have come as a result of my DIY COB project. Gen #3 is the smaller 3 light module. Gen #4 is he larger 6 light module - The two 3 LED light bars on this unit are tilted in at a 15% angle towards the center, it is a bit hard to see in the...

    COB Nutrient differences.

    Most of the people I have encountered that are running into nutrient issues are using semi hydroponic systems. They use something like coco/perlite, and expect completely provide liquid nutrients with semi flood systems. Where as I run 10 gal pots with 1/2 ffof, 1/4 perlite, 1/4 sphagnum moss...

    COB Nutrient differences.

    I have noticed moving to bigger pots has significantly improved the over all health of my plants. Greatly increased rate of over all plant growth, fewer nutrient issues on large plants. I have been incorporating more cal/mag that has helped. I have had several people attempt to use COBs, not...

    COB Nutrient differences.

    Based on all the experience people have gained on there forums using various DIY builds. What are the biggest challenges in switching from traditional grow lights to white COBS. Most importantly what are the biggest changes in nutrient requirements.

    That is what I am going to be working on tomorrow. However, I am not in the position to offer people any free lights at this point in time. It just so happens that our price point completely blows anyone else out of the water, and I would be willing to work with people at a whole sale price...

    No need to apologize. This is exactly why I made a post to get clarification about the best way to proceed.

    If you mean the blue in the middle of the light? That would likely just be a reflection from the light bouncing off the ceiling. Or coming in from a window.

    I am only looking for testers in the capacity that, the product with the Pi 3 is not a fully realized product that is glitch free, so people would need to expect that there may be glitches still. For further clarification, I can make posts/threads talking about my product and price, as long as...

    Cree 1000W DE HPS Replacement Reference Design

    I agree its like in the book: Thank and Grow Rich - You will never change anyone's mind by arguing with them, take the time to listen, understand and ask questions. If you ask smart informed questions and the other person is in the wrong, they will come to see the error in their ways through...

    Cree 1000W DE HPS Replacement Reference Design

    All of this stuff is really hard to know for sure because I am not familiar with what chips output at what efficiency. What I do know that it is not as simple as more light is always better, particularly if you are a new grower. I would forward that a new grower would likely get a better yield...

    Cree 1000W DE HPS Replacement Reference Design

    Yes, like I said simple math. The next to factors would be the goal of the grow. Are you maxed out with your one light or could you grow more with more lights. Then consider the amount of power you use and how much power costs. Within these constraints it should be simple to figure out what is...

    Cree 1000W DE HPS Replacement Reference Design

    I have lights designed and built that run Vero 29s at 100W each. They work great no problems. However, all costs being equal, assuming similar canopy intensity, by adjusting distance from light, I think a 3 Vero 29 light at like 2ft would lose to a 6 vero 29 light at 1ft in terms of yield. Also...
