nah not at all...im only a beginner grower and jumped straight on the led ship so i cant compare with hps or other lights or other spectrums in regards if they are vegin fast or slower or what not but i was extremely happy with the final product so i cant complain
10 is definetly great! But you can see on the canpoy where the light is lacking. Was considering the qbs. Just wanting to fill that space on the sides. Thanks
Hey ROI,
I currently have a 4x4 tent with 10 cxb3590s 3500K at 1.4a on 2 250w drivers that i use for veg to flower.
I know you aim for about 50w per sq/ft so I was wondering what would be the best way to upgrade my build.
Ive just started looking at boards so I may add them to the build
Stay...
Hey Everyone
Im looking for some LEDs I can use for seeds/clones and maybe a week or two of veg before i put them into a 4x4 with 10 cxb3590s
Been looking at these
https://www.cutter.com.au/proddetail.php?prod=cut3264
They have options of 5000k 5700k or 7000k.
Just looking for some opinions...
looking at picking one of these up from cutter http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=Grow+Light+Kits&scri=290&filter
will they be strong enough to veg for a abit aswell before i throw them in the 4x4 with the cobs.
otherwise my mate gave me a single 18w t8
but dont think that will be enough
hey mate have you got one dimmer for both clusters? disconnect your dimmer and see if its working as it should be. i remember when i built mine i wired my dimmer wrongly somehow and only half my cobs were working
hey! tents up and running.
its my first time growing so getting use to evrything. i recieved some free auto with my beans so tried them first. probly not the best but its alowed me to dial my tent in and make errors that i can learn from.
Im now looking at doin a small seedling box that can...
thanks thats a great tip. ive dimmed down 50% now and lowered it to 18" and maintained a steady 22/24c last night. its my first indoor setup and i guess im just trying to find what works. thanks for the help
Cheers mate, il try and see what the temps will fall down to. But got them turned up to keep the heat up since its the middle of winter and nights are really cold. Ive moved them to 30" away from the pots.
i got 4 seeds that just poped and put them in pots this morning. ive been having to run my cobs (10x cxb3590 @1.4ma) full power to keep a good temp in my tent and with the heater on. how far should i keep them away from the pots? im at 24" now. might have to get another heater so im able to dim...
1 cob per sq foot as rule of thumb. so you would be looking at 8 for that grow size. probs would get away with 5 but id jus go 6 and have a better layout of cobs for better coverage
Thanks for the help got them dimming.
Just wasnt sure if i had damaged anything since one set of leds wernt working so thought id ask before i kept having a go at it.
