I'm dying to get started lol, yeah they look awesome. That's why I needed a break really. Not so much to rest, more like 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder!'
I'm sure most of the diy'ers would swap 1lb for these 1500w actual draw of osram cob. These are like the dark horse of leds for 1 reason, location. If Budmaster was actually based and made in the USA, Budmaster would probably be No.1 there too, like it is in the UK.
Hey @Fevs any updates? I wish I could afford those budmasters, came across them ages ago and they look the nuts. Maybe one day 
Im sure you'll smash your 10oz per 2 weeks once you dial it all in!
Also for the sound issue I bought some sound deadening for my extraction pipes and it made my new rhino thermostatic almost silent.

I have no more extraction sound issues. Almost silent from low heat. Started the grow pretty well, but very early days...

damn that looks sick lol, toy porn man! have fun I bet they gonna pay for themselves
They will do. Gone from 3500w to 1500w. I grow auto's 24-0, so they save me a constant 2kw/h saving!
Last year, my electric was around £3600. I'm expecting that to change to less than half. More like £1600.
Plus I can sleep in my room with 2 tents with hardly any sound.
My £70 per week bill is reduced to £28.
In usd - $90 a week to $37.

Id be so bold as to say if u can turn off onw cob at that early stage they need fuck all light
Running on half power. Thought I'd post a few pics for you all to see if my investment was a slap in the face or not! It's always nice to see somebody's investment work out, but also nice sometimes to see somebody fail! It keeps it fresh!
I'll post some pics every 10-14 days
Pineapple Express day 10 Cobx-6
Sweet skunk and moby dick xxl on days 7 and 10
7 Trainwrecks day 9
Cindy tent, most planted 17/04, 1 a week older. top left is Brothers Grimm Cinderella 99 elite clone (only coco plant)
Cobx-2
Dinafem Moby Dick XXL on day 4. This is just a bit of fun. I'm going for a personal best gram per watt in here. 100w used, 2 plants, 1 in an 18 litre pot, 1 in a 25, so both pots are about 5 or 6 gallons. I should easily hit 1 gram per watt, but keen to see their potential under just 100w. After all, it is all about 'enough' coverage with cobs! These 2 little seedlings are on day 4.
