    How hard can I run Vero 29's in a micro tent?

    Really appreciate this. When I weighed it all out, I was going to need to buy heatsinks from one place, stripper lights from a second, and drivers from a third. All of that with Canada's expensive shipping and it was cheaper to look at the existing kits. Everything shipping together will save...

    How hard can I run Vero 29's in a micro tent?

    Thanks. Everything I've read about using smartphones as light meters says they're wildly inaccurate, both apps and the hidden menus. Is this not the case?

    How hard can I run Vero 29's in a micro tent?

    Thanks for the advice. Based on the following... - great for height-sensitive spots - cheaper (accounting for having to buy COBs, drivers, and heatsinks from different places and pay shipping on each) - more efficient - runs cooler - 12 inches of additional grow space - growmau5 loves them -...

    How hard can I run Vero 29's in a micro tent?

    It's definitely a restrictive way to grow. You're suggesting I go with something like (4) Vero 29's run really soft? What's the downside of running COB's at low currents? I remember growmau5 saying the cost goes up. Was he just talking about how many lights, heatsinks, etc. you need to buy? Or...

    How hard can I run Vero 29's in a micro tent?

    Awesome thanks for the responses. Awesome. So is that all a dimmer's doing? Dimming the current? Assuming I go this route, how would I calculate the actual current? Through a Kill-a-watt? Or is it time to buy a light meter? Okay, great! If we slice a half foot off one side of your space and...

    30x18x36" flower tent - help with VERO 29 lighting? (DIY COB LED)

    Hey Observe & Report, thanks for checking in. That's great info. I couldn't find the datasheet for your lights, but assuming they're somewhat similar to the latest, you're running 3 x 1.8A (~93W), around 280W for the chamber... and roughly 140 PAR watts? Is that not high? How many PAR watts...

    30x18x36" flower tent - help with VERO 29 lighting? (DIY COB LED)

    Hey y'all. New to indoors, new to coco, starting to get comfortable with microgrowing, and have finally graduated from my all-in-one PC case (12/12 from seed perpetual), to an enormous 30x18x36" grow tent. (75x45x90cm) This is typically meant for cloning in, but I love the micro world...

    PC Stealth Grow 300W+ cfl. Chocolate Chunk

    Hey, On Page 1 you said you settled on 6x60w CFL's - were you using actual wattage or equivalent wattage when quoting that? In the quotes photo, the bulbs look too small to be 60w CFL's, when I compare them to the the 42w's I have, which are about 3 times larger than the bulbs in the photo...

    Computer PC Case Grow Box Testing #2

    Hey TheBlisters, the Vancouver Seed Bank & Kind Seed company are both reputable :) I have a question with regards to your fans - could you attach both fans to a single 12v dc adapter, or do each need their own? edit: pretty cool. Just realised I've been a member for 2.5 years and this is my...
