Like the tittle says Im trying to get as close to 1000ppfd with the vero COBs as possible in my 4x4 tent. Cost of the fixture is not a factor, I just want the best. Also, what type Vero is best for it (A/B/C)? Im doing a DIY fixture so if you could suggest the right number of COBs, type of Vero, which drivers, etc, I would really appreciate it. There's so much conflicting info on COB lighting on the internet that Im just thoroughly confused what to get after reading/searching for months now lol. Please and Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer.

If cost is no factor then 12 x Vero 29C at 700ma on 3 X HLG-185H-C700's.
Will be around 1050ppfd in a 4' by 4'

Like You Said Theirs So Much Conflicting Information On The Web Its Hard To Make One's Mind Up. Now My Flavor Is Step On Their Neck Type Of Build. If I Were To Run the Vero 29C On The 700mA Platform I Would Go With 8 Vero 29C Run Them On(4 )HLG-185H-C140OB Split 2 Cobs Per Driver. This Will Give You 100 Watts Per Cob For A Total Of 800 Watts In A 4x4 Would Commit Murders :hump:

Just Remember To Run At Least A 160mm Pinned Heatsink

buy citi 3618s or luminus cxm32 then

vero Cs are great but not the "best"

but "best" is relative because cost is always a factor

100 citi 1212s will give you a lot more ppf/$ at a given total wattage than 40 veroCs at the same chip cost, but there are a lot of ways to skin a cat
