My light came in! Yay!

Also, I know what light I would want if I had 1500$ or more to spend because for the price range, to get a cob 800w is a ton of $$ and for the price I got my light, I know it's not actually 700w, it's a 400w replacement. But still the 400w cobs are $$$$ .

So don't think I'm naïve, I know I could have gotten a better light. But I also could have gotten worse for the same price. Don't think I could get a better led blup with the warranty and customer service for the price I paid. If I'm wrong, post a link to a 700w led lol seriously post some links, I'll check them out :) but make sure they are under 500$ and ship to Canada, and offer free shipping and 2 day shipping. Oh and must be in cad. :) (even 400w, because that's the actual watt)

If someone can find me a better light for the same price I got this one, same watts, led cob, but ni hps, hid. I know how those work. I know they are good. I wanna try stuff I haven too before. Because like I said, nothing beats the sun so indoor will always be secondary to me.

That's just one example. You'll get comparable performance, while consuming 130 watts less. That fixture will create less heat, and added bonus - the cooling is passive. No fan noise, and one less moving part to worry about breaking.

And I can grow 6 plants with the 200 w?

I know my light is 700w but actually is a replacement of a 400w hps and does compare to one a sexy I have that exact hps wattage to compare to. That all I need to know and I'll consider that light for next season for sure!

It only has a 5 square ' footprint. You would have to keep it pretty high to get the light needed. But if youre only looking to veg... I didn't look at warranty, shipping, etc.

Honestly, your new light would be hard pressed to make 6 plants happy. Are you constrained by time, need it now? Maybe next season would be best?

Sadly I do need it now. The thieves don't take plants, they took medicine.. :/ My autos are all started anyways lol in. Using. A cob light in 2 weeks when I can afford it. But I'm not buying it online, there is a depot in Toronto that specializes in grow lifhts and led cobs. Let's hope I can find a decent light there

You'll figure it out.

I have been looking at building a cob fixture. It's so crazy cheap compared to lights i have owned. But, I like what i have. Ill do it someday for no other reason than i get to build something

Plant count isn't important. Canopy dimension is important. Keep your plants inside the lights footprint and you will be good.

You can grow a huge single plant or a number of smaller plants and get the same yield in a given footprint. You have more leeway if you are vegging. Just rotate the pots so they all get a shot at the good coverage area.

The risk is if you let them get shaded out they will flower early on you.

I have 6 small plants going along side my clone of my blueberry plant from my outdoor plant. That's only reason I ask, because my current lights footprint is the size of my closet lol so I don't have that to worry about. I'm only doing autos, and my clone but that is gong outdoors next year, said in a 4" pot maybe 3 lol and my autos are in 1 gal and 3 gal. Just needed some plants because I like to grow. My plants being ripped was .. my heart stopped. They were my babies. So I just need some plants growing until next season to make me smile.

Yeah I'm not "flowering" meaning my light schedule is 18/6 all until may. Just for some autos and to veg my plants to go outdoors early , but that's when my autos are done

Dang, forgot you said auto's. They will flower and finish to their own drummer. They want full light all the time. No such thing as vegging an auto.
Yeah, the only vegging I'm doing really is my blueberry, that's why it's hard to switch lights. I'll buy a better one I already have in mind lol next time or when I sell my profit. But other than that, I just really started indoors so I wouldn't, uhm off myself. My plants were my life, I spent 9 months on those outdoor babies. They were treees. The person he harvested even though it was early, still got more than 4 oz off each plant. The one plant I have to my neighbour yielded over 5oz in a 5 gal bucket. And that was allowed to fully finish.

I love growing, forget smoking it.. growing is a passion and I might just move to a tropical place I can grow year around and actual trees lol

So i fell asleep on the couch last night. I woke up to get a drink and saw the LEDs I want. The mother fucking streetlights! Holy shit! We have only had them for about a month, and this one was blocked by a patio umbrella till last night when the Santa Ana winds wiped it out. So i never really noticed it till I tried to get back to sleep tonight. My God... this thing cranks, and talk about a footprint! Yep my next lights are gonna be Cal. Edison's.
