Advanced Platinum P-Series is a really good light. They are pretty costly and their coverage is not quite what they claim. That is the par is so high on them for the Watts they use because the light is concentrated instead of spread out
The reason that the Cobs work so great is because they are super intense even though you are blowing a lot of Watts on wasted Spectrum the intensity makes up for it. But blue and red is still and always the best bang for your buck.
Dr. mc scunkins is telling you the best light. You're going to waste some Watts on useless Spectrum with those lights but it is worth it because of the intensity. So I use that Cree cob and simply add more cheap blue at veg and more cheap red at flower.
HPS is the best anyway. But if you throw a LED in the mix it is even better go ahead and get it you'll probably be happy
If you just go with a heavy red for flower the little bit of electricity will be well worth it heavy red with a little blue is the most efficient thing you can use so you don't have to Overkill it.
A little bit of LED with that HPS will go a lot further than you know.
Dang all you do is work.
That is awesome!
That's good advice I wound up buying a roleadro with 3000k Cree cobs on Amazon simply because I do not have time for a build. It's small but I didn't need much more I'm pretty happy with it.
I actually tried one of those and returned it I didn't like it.
nice! i built a light with citi 1818 3000k 90cri and had already bought a roleadro, but then I switched the cobs out for citi 1212's 3000k 80cri. If i need another 2 cob light, i'll just upgrade another roleadro. Way easier than building the whole thing
Haha I was wondering if down the road I could do the same thing. Just didn't know if I would upgrade heatsinks what did you do?
You dont need to upgrade the heatsinks. All you need to do is drill a couple holes in the heatsinks for the new cobs. I used bjb holders to mount mine. It all fit back together without any mods to the case.
True.
