    S.O.G. Strains. Your vote matters.

    Been running 4000w for some time now. Like i said, im downsizing. I understand what your saying bud, your obviously not understanding me. The truth is every product has a price tag and there's always someone willing to pay it. Just as you have the option to spend $15k on a shit new car, $30k on...

    S.O.G. Strains. Your vote matters.

    Thanks you kind sir. The idea is to end up with 4 mother plants of 2 different strains. The plants from seeds won't be flowered, they'll just be used for mothers. But I'll cycle between the 2 strains every harvest so it'll be 1 strain in the flower room to keep a level canopy. Is your issue...

    S.O.G. Strains. Your vote matters.

    Not my first rodeo there cowboy.. just so you know though, there is a wrong way to skin a cat.. any strain can grow in a sog style yes.. some strains are are genetically notortuous for producing elongated dense colas.. Since I'm drastically downsizing the scale of the grow, my focus is now...

    S.O.G. Strains. Your vote matters.

    Thanks for the input. I really haven't been a fan of fems to be honest. Ivery always found better genetics out of regs, as I'm sure most people could attest to as well. Im just getting tired of running multiple seeds to find the 1 girl I want. It takes too much time and a lot of space honestly...

    Virgin Aero grower.. couple ???s

    Hey aero nerds. I've been contemplating a new small set up for a cabinet grow. First off I'd like to ask if High pressure aero does in fact produce healthier roots than Lown pressure systems ? I know the fine micron of the hpa is beneficial, but how much of a difference is noticeable for the...

    S.O.G. Strains. Your vote matters.

    Good evening RIU. I'd just like to get a tally on some of these strains I had in mind for running a true sog. Yield is important, but not to the extent of sacrificing smell and taste. That being said, my options are above in the poll, you can select 2. Please leave any feedback on said strains...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    @grouch @Rahz I've got one more question to run by you guys. :roll: Since I'm going to toss the multiple fan idea and just use 2 solid heatsinks (1 per 4 cobs) I'm now looking for an adequate driver for the new fans. I found someone using these...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    I knew I joined this forum back in the day for a reason... I can't thank you all enough for the help. I'm looking forward to putting this thing together and seeing the results. I think I will end up getting the 'A' series of that driver, I like the idea of simply turning a screw to lower the...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    Great info and I appreciate the links to these other cites. So the AD bins And BB bins, I could use either one of those with the MW hlg-185-1400 drivers and operate at similar watts. The only difference between the two would be the light itself, 3000k or 3500k. ??? I'm still leaning towards...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    Thanks for the post . This light fixture will only be used for flower. You suggest just using 2 heatsinks then. 4 on each one? So I would replace my heatsink fan combo from arctic cool with fewer larger fans to cool the 2 heat sinks. As for the dimming. If those drivers would be running 100% I...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    I'm trying to find these cobs CXB3070 BB @3000k I can't seem to find that they exist. However I can find them @3500k. But would that really be better than running another style bin at 3000k.? I'd like to keep it relatively simple. Dimming my light etc seems like an unnecessary luxury..

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    First of all thank you for the help. Obviously I'm needing it.. The suggestion you made pertaining to the fan driver is perfect. Thank you. As for the cobs and the drivers you made a few suggestions and scenarios. I hate to ask this but which combination would you use/should I use? In your...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    Actually now I'm second guessing. Considering that with the MW LPC-60-1400 I would be running each cob around 60w, that would be ridiculous. So rather than decreasing the amount of bulbs (and sacrificing light coverage) I could use a smaller driver per cob. And this would benefit in multiple...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    It doesn't seem like that driver would be able to handle all 8 fans... Am I wrong? If the plc-30-12 will work for powering the fans without being close to overloaded, I would be inclined to just go ahead and buy that. I mean if I had to buy 2 of the apv12-12 vs 1 of the plc 30-12, I'm only...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    I chose those z4s mainly because I was under the impression those were the best model of the 3070s. That was just information from a previous thread, but that could be missing information or old information. I'll change my Cobs to the cxb model So... -8 cxb3070-0000-000NOHAB30G. However I'm...

    First Time DIY COBS builder

    I intend to build a light fixture for a new grow. The space will be small (2'x4' foot print) but I plan to use 8 cree 3070's to get max penetration and light spread. - 8 cxa3070-0000-000N0Z430H - 8 Arctic cool Alpine 11 plus cooler fans - 8 Meanwell LPC-60-1400 drivers -(1) Meanwell plc-30-12...

    DiY LED Grow Lights with CREE CXA3070 COBs and CPU Coolers

    I love this. It seems relatively simple yet effective. I do have a couple questions for you thought 1. For the wiring of the drivers. In the diagram it appears that you simple connect them all toget her by wiring all positives together and all negatives together. Correct? Then you simply...
