@Airwalker16 I went with the 8 Cree cxb3590 (36v) and i'm really happy I got them. Cree's effiency is just too good, especially with wiring in series.

Hell ya bro! Good thinking. You stick to the hlg240-1750b's?

Well I have a 185-1400a, a 185-1400B now, and a 240-1750B is on the way. My plan so far is to use the 240-1750 in the 3x2 with 4 cxb3590, and then run the two 185-1400mA in the 4x4 with 8 cxb3590, knowing I can add more later.

I see. Kinda backwards though. You're going to be reducing the amount of photons from veg to flower which is really weird and detrimental. Plus, you're running the 1750's which are putting out more lumens in an even smaller space. So... we'll see how that works out for you. I highly reccomend you run 4 on the 1400 in veg, get another 250-1750, & run 8 like you originally planned in flower.

4 on a 1750= 260watts. And 8 on 1400's = 400watts. But you're going from a 6sq ft area(43w/ft), to a SIXTEEN sq ft area(25w/ft). See what I'm saying?

yeah I see what you mean for the extra lumens for the 16 sqft. also, I plan to use them as separate flower tents but going at the same time. maybe even to veg some young plants from early on and through the harvest since i don't have a good veg lamp right now. but I'll try to leave them in the tent they start out in as much as I can. unless they outgrow the 3x2, which might happen.
