3590 retirement present

It's actually a coolhood design. I have flexible hoses and a y which then goes to an inline carbon filter. The blower sucks. Hard to manage hoses with more than 2 heat sinks. Around 100 cfm 4" cools and gets rid of the dank. ~800w all of the way up. 11 sq ft. Should get 1000 g plus in soil. 1 month veg. 6 5 gal buckets. Running 700w now.

Yes it grows.

It certainly does. Nice plant!

Strawberry amnesia. Not quite dun.

So dandyrandy you have 4 Hlg-185h-c1400b running 16 3590s maxing out at 800w.... Im hoping to make a 16 3590 set up maxing out at 600w..... What drivers would i need? And what mA should i run them at to max out at 600w?

I run mine at ~ 600w. But if I wish to expand...

What drivers should i run the 3590s on if i want them to max out at 600w? Or what current do you run yours at to get them to run at 600w?

I have a watt meter and adjust all 4 for around 600w. The hlg driver below that (the 1050 I believe) will get you there but since the driver cost is the same I bought the larger and adjust it down.

600w / 16 cobs = 37.5w each
37.5w / appx. 36v = 1.05 amps

Thanks guys ima look at some 1050s

So you are shooting for 1000g in 11sq ft with 600w? I just built my new grow space and it is 12sq ft with 600w so I will be watching.

What i want to do is build something between 500-600w and throw it in my 4x4

And they grow WW. A bit chilli. She's purple.

Well the 3590's are doing well. It seems 650 Watts or so at 16 inches with no lens works best for me in my situation. 2 TGA Timewrecks on the left and a Bod LSD back right. Strawberry Amnesia front right. 2.5 weeks from flip. Nice solid main at the base.
