no it looks good, I like seeing trunks almost as much as flowers. did'ya cut some clones off the top pic.

the "U" is pretty gnarly, I like it.

More or less mainlined the coogies. Broke one of the 4 mains off.

They all have been cut up and cloned fr the past couple months to keep them under my 32" desk lol. Finally gave them room to grow up and they're super bushy.

Truly pretty incredible for just TWO cxb3590'S.
I'm gonna have to attribute MY bleaching to TOO MUCH LIGHT in my 4x4. 8 3590's @ 1759 & 4 3070's @ 1400.

Yeah I'm thinking we are actually pushing the plants much harder than we realize with these cobs. A reduction in the number of required LEDs in a given area and concurrent use of less electricity doesnt break my heart one bit lol.

Yeah, vero 29s lol. I'm actually almost against 3590s. The cost just doesn't justify them IMO. Bridgelux and citizen both make affordable cobs at around the same efficiency anyway. As most people that spend the money on 3590s also seem to drive them hard (50+ watts). I have my cxa3070s cxb2540s and bridgelux cobs from my DIY stuff running at 15-25 watts each. I would bet on my efficiency being better running v22s and 3070s at 525ma than most are getting with 3590s at 1.5a or more.

IMO more cobs run at lower current you can beat footprint/efficiency/spectral output fairly easily and still have your costs be way under what these guys are spending on their 3590 panels. But when you buy them you can claim that you have the most efficient cobs made, which may be true, if they ran them soft enough to make it true. I don't see a whole lot of guys running 3590s at 500-700ma. Lol
