Tim Fox is right. I can just get the marshydro, but my question is : I can get the cxa3590 for 120 pounds 1 cob with full setup. I found somebody today that can do that for me. Same price, maybe better results. Thank you Tim for all your reply. I hope I didn;t write this twice(I am drunk a little bit :D ). Anyway, I will oder this week the cxa 3590. I hope I can find a cob holder in UK soon and I will consider major-red-eye opinion about driver. I just get one at the minut , it's enough for 4 autos :)

I am going to purchase one of those "LUMEN METERS" so I can measure not only the lumens number given off from the mars 300 I own, but just in case I ad a CREE Cob to both sides with 3000K for an extra 16,000 lumens for flowering

I just need the driver that can match and a cob holder in UK. Or maybe without :)

When you get your led , start a new thread in the led section and send me the link thru messages or here, I would be very interested in watching your adventure with the cob light,

i was searching around to find a lumens spec on the marshydro 300 watt 1st gen light, and I found the answer deep in the mars website, the 300 watt delivers 7150 lumens, that allot lower than I had expexted, A 400 watt metal halide bulb easily puts out 30,000 lumens easy, and it is recomended to have 45-60 watts (true power draw) per square foot of grow room, So I have 6 square feet of space, I need 300 true watts min. and my mars only puts out 170 watts, So I am 130 short, I either need to order a second 300 watt mars and hang them side by side, or get a couple of cree cobs an mount them to the mars metal housing and have them hang off the corners, the wheels are turning tonight, thanks to Obviously for his help in getting me to rethink the possiblities on this

No problem my man it just you don't know how to grow oh no nothing about the lights and you're giving suggestions and I've been growing for almost 10 years and this whole led thing if I didn't get into a car accident March of last year I would have already had my first led harvest but when I got out the hospital I went back to work for the dispensary that I was working for 4 years and I had multiple rooms had three flower rooms and one mother in bed room one of my rooms where the undercurrent deep water culture system the other were top fed drip system recirculating I was growing under 25,000 watts of electricity HPS and metal halide lights and I'm loving the LED light and I am building my own light now CXA 3590's

Lumens on the 300 watt no but I can tell you this it runs off 1 watt diodes less penetration then the 5 watt. That's why everyones saying LED sucks.

I suppose we should get on the same page before we make assumptions about a persons growing experience. I grew for about 3 years back in the mid 1980's in a 4x4x8 plywood box in my garage, under 400 watt metal halides and I grew one crop in an 8x4x8 under a 1000 watt halide. I probably went thru about 7 crops, start to finish, we grew with clones and swapped clones between 3 people . it was some type of indica, never knew the strain but it was killer. And I made it to harvest everytime. digital cameras did not exist and sending film photos in for developing was a great way to get the cops busting your grow, so I took 29 years off to get married and have a family , never wanted to risk getting arrested and going to jail while i had kids around. but now my state has legalized home grows and I now longer have that shadow hanging over my head, So does my past experience still make me a "new grower with no experience?" , well that is for you to decide.

It was a long suck ass time to be on Prohibition. and drinking booze was freakin killing me, litterally, when the good people legalized this stuff in my state, I stopped drinking and went back to that guy I used to be, now i am so fucking happy, i cant believe how many years of my life were wasted. I started a thread in the indoor growing section under stealth micro cab, called one more time around for the old man, posting many pictures of the wardrobe build out, and about to pop the seeds, would love to see some of you come and put your 2 cents in,

I wanna ask you something guys : a 0.9 meter height is allright for autos and LED ? I was thinking that maybe this 0.9 meter height is not enough cause the LED should be like 0.25 meter from canopy.

If 0.9m all the hight space you have to work with then you can make it work with a little tinkering ;) you will wanna work out a way to hang your light as close to the top as possible maybe make a home made close quarters bracket like the ones from blackdog led and maybe keep your carbon filter out of the cabinet to free up room at the top apart from that you should be fine :) autos don't grow very tall and it's not like you'll get light burn if they get too close to the light LEDs run pretty damn cool so you should be fine :)

I know auto don;t grow very tall, but still. 25cm - pot , 10 cm-LED , 40 cm the plant , so 15 cm only left :) and one more question : for this one , do I need a driver ? http://uk.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=LZ4-40R300virtualkey62410000virtualkey897-LZ440R300 how can I make it work ?
