Make sure that base is THICK. 10mm minimum.

We tried 2700k 90 cri for flower and it was markedly better than 3000k 80cri flowering our amnesia haze. Fastrr development and a bit better yield, mainly in cuality.

and while testing..don't be scared to try 5000k 80cri 561c ..you may be surprised

CobKits sends to CA I'm pretty sure.

Only CXM22 on their website!

Oh my bad. Only other places I can think of would be Digikey or you could always check Octo-part.

Unless you want 100w per cob the cxm22 should be fine. Its much easier for heatsinks and optics.

I want 150 watts per cob, 600watts driver for 4 cobs, I don't need 150 watts now but may be in future and I wiil have it!

Vero 29 C is a good alternative.
Id seriously suggest you look into better light distribution. 600w from 4 cobs isnt the same as 600w from 15 cobs. Also high powered cobs like that needs a lot of headroom which means you lose light to t walls.

I don't have any experience with cob, but I want make some test to find the maximum PPFD that some genetic can take with CO2. I read a couple of time that plants can take in best conditions 1500 to 2000 umols.
How many watts by 1.5 X 1.5 foot can reach that?

Guestimating around 150-200w depending on what leds you use.

Ok and only one cob by 1.5 X 1.5 feet would be good?
And if I built up a more big room in future instead of a lot of small cobs I will be able to put these big cobs higher and give more watts on potentiometer, I don't know!!

We tried high powered cobs and definitely prefer a more spreadout setup, like quantum boards on half power or strips.
I feel that with cobs your ideal is 1 per squarefoot, 25-40w each.
But there are many ways to do this. But lower power per chip will allways reward you, and in several ways.

I said 1 cob x 1.5 X 1.5 foot but in reality I will have 16 cobs for 2 X 8 feet cabinet 1 cob by square feet 16 X 150 watts the heatsinks will be out the cabinet, I know that is a bit crazy but these cobs will serve in a more big room where 1 cob by square foot would be a bit crazy too. I will have the power on dimmer.
Do you think that 40 watts X square feet with CO2 is enough to obtain the maximum yield and quality?

40w per square foot is enough, and too much for your first grow. High intensity led light needs very specific temps/rh, you will need good environmental controls.
