Oh nice dude, diy,re-purposing and rebuilding is just plain fun!
Just had to replace this............IMG_7460.jpg

..........with these..............

.............cos my Mar's Hydro Hack is just way too bright for the height in this tent and as you may be able to see nearly fried all my cuts.

I've started taking any faulty light fittings home from work with me and find the majority of them can be repaired or just used for parts. They'd end up in the skip usually, but now everything we install is LED, they're all worth having a look at. Free lights are the best lights, LOL

Oh dude with my budmasters I've em nearly at max heigh n I still got burn on one lol I shoved a cobx9 n 2 cobx4 for a 4x4 n the cobx9 is rated for that space but I got greedy n added the 2 x4s 850 real watts in total
Just gone through the same experience with the diy cobs in my flower room, what I thought was wind burn was actually light burn, so I've raised em' up about 2.5 feet above the canopy............

................and to keep it 'on topic', there's 6 PK x Livers in there, front 2 on the left, front 3 on the right and 1 crammed in at the back, between some SSDD's and C99's

Edit, I'm gonna add the mars hydro to this room, takin the total wattage up to around 2.2Kw

Nice lights dude! Im still tryna find some of those Mars lights to play with.
No luck so far on FB, CL, and eBay, but gonna keep looking.

Anyone with crap led lights that wants to get rid of them let me know

Looks great and didnt expect such a hybrid looking leaf!
I bet shes some tasty smoke!
She packs on the weight n fruity skunk like....wondering if cobs have any effect on her final yield but tbh she's doing alright for where she's at n she takes the lights slot vetted than the gg4. My first buy from bb I got dbxl freebies n I had one that blew my fucking nut n on my first grow so didn't clone n bought 20 more to try n find her but I bumped into this little pheno along the way

I think cob lights put the same weight per (par) watt, but you can push more light into the same space with less heat and less wasted spctra that turns to heat causing heat stress or less density, or at leas thats what I have experienced in my tent.

Oh I've way less heat but getting a bit of light burn but I'm loving cobs n still gotta get. A hang of feeds the gg4 is even worse for mag under cob than hps..few Tweeks n I'll be as happy as a cracking head that scored

I prefer to run more cobs driven softer in my grow and no lenses to try to get most light and least chance of burn.
