[captainmorgan]

It's 2.5'x4.5',so like 11 sq ft. I also have two 20 watt 660 nm LED floods,one at each end added to the 209 watts of COB.

Nice Capt

 

[captainmorgan]

I'll be adding T5 HO UVB tomorrow and a net to straighten these two wild girls out.

MJ loves some 450, that's for sure

Outstanding cap

 

[captainmorgan]

OK,got everything in place finally. Beat the plants up a bit putting in the net but they're tough.
Ordered that new power supply off ebay for the fans.

Look at that sexy floodlight there....(reflection moment..)

 

[captainmorgan]

Just your basic set up.

209 watts CXA3070 Z4 3000k ( 13.5/10.5 )
40 watts 660 nm LED floods (13.5/10.5 )
54 watts T5 HO Zoomed UVB (6 hours)
730 nm flower initiator (10 minutes after lights out)

 

[Chronikool]

Do you leave the 730nm on? times?

EDIT: read Edit

Made edit to include times.

Very similar colors and power levels to what I'm running. Only thing really different is about 40w of 630, 10w 405 and 430, and my uv is only about 24w. Far as I can tell the plants benefit quite a bit from the extras...

 

[captainmorgan]

Finally had time to make two more CXA3070 Z4 3000k's.
I'll be starting a couple plants in my 2.5'x4.5' cabinet next week with 6-CXA3070 Z4 3000k's at 1.4 a.
That's 312 watts at 39.3% efficiency for 27.73 watts per square foot.

Nice work CAP! Can't wait to see more CREE nugs

 

[captainmorgan]

6 hours of trimming so far on those two Critical Kushs and probably 3 more to go. Next round will be a LSD and Death Star under 6 COB's with just UV and 730 nm.

 

[captainmorgan]

This run will be 312 watts from six CXA 3070 Z4 3000k's at 1.4 amps,UV T5 HO and a 730 nm flower initiator. That's a Deathstar on the left and a LSD on the right.

 

[Mohican]

What does the initiator look like?

 

[spazatak]

yeah Cap... where did you get the initiator

 

[captainmorgan]

What does the initiator look like?

It's only 10 watts of 730 nm and covers a 8'x8' area,I've got one in all of my cabinets and tents.

It's only 10 watts of 730 nm and covers a 8'x8' area,I've got one in all of my cabinets and tents.

So for a 2x4' space I would only need 2-3 watts?

for diy would these work run off this driver?
