How much have you managed to yield under those four cob's at ~25W apiece? EDIT: well, I guess that'd be a little difficult to answer, after watching your videos.

I've noticed a few cxb3590's on mouser, and wondered if two of the lpc-150-1050's would be sufficient and efficient powering four of the cbx3590's It is a bit more upfront cost, but if the efficiency gain and power are there, I'm happy to cut out two drivers and simplify things.

I'm all for going on an efficiency adventure trying out led's, but I'm just so much more comfortable with the 3000k or even 2700k, as I've witnessed that work. If it turns out the girls need more blue, ballast is switchable... Is that sounding logical to you guys, or am I just burnt XD

Is this still pioneering stuff? I'm surprised nobody has said "F%^$ IT" and compared every COB they could get their hands on. For example, I have not read any threads with the 4000k COB used, and my prejudice against it is based only on experience with fluorescents, which is no comparison at...

I'm getting ready to set up an entirely new room, and my 400w bulb just is not going to cut it any longer. I'm planning to add 4x cxa3070's, one at each corner, driven by the meanwell lpc-60-1400. Are these correct...

throw them outside? should do well if you can still limit their exposure

Haha not that this thread gets much attention but this is mostly for me to look back on and experiment with my new grows. flowering day 32: buds have become coated in resin, calyxes doubled in size, some buds stretch from node to node up a stem. Nutrients: Earth Juice Sugar Peak flowering...

so from flowering in july 10 my plant is the exact same size as it was a month ago lol. its stem rises 5" from the soil and immediately splits into two that go to each side of the pot and are trained down. from those two stems each 6-8" branch has begun flowering, and at this point i believe...

Today I went out to procure some nutrients for my baby. i got some beastie bloomz, ff big bloom, and molasses. plants are responding well, huge amount of trichomes on the trained plant. its flowers are completely coated in large fat crystals :D

it depends on how the plants react to it. i have two purple kush plants sitting sidebyside, one i lst'ed and topped and trimmed the lower fan leaves just after entering flowering cycle and one that i let grow naturally. the plant thats been trained has ~20 tops and is 10" tall, the other is 22"...

So guys, i've noticed that the fan leaves all attach with purple stems but the stems themselves and new growth is all bright green. is this just the purple kush pheno coming out? i cant say they've been particularly cold!

Back from bakersfield and my buds have exploded! haha well it seems that way, i left and each top had 6-8 hairs tops. two days later:

Damn some t5's and a few led's and i'll have the most diverse light on the boards haha ;)

Some new lights! went to home depot and picked up 2 68W 2700k CFL's. so in my closet there is currently: 1x 100w metal halide, 2x 23w 6500k cfl, 2x 68w 2700k cfl's. hopefully this satisfies some, but personally i see myself adding two or three more of the 68 watters heres a few pics of the new...

red solo cups were transplanted a month and a half ago, and which gals seem to be falling? the only ones that are leaning are trained. I will add some large 2700k CFL's to the mix in the upcoming days and weeks, the one plant in my cab should eat it up XD Also, have two new cuttings! just...
