Nice! I am very jealous of the space you have!

That blue painters tape comes in handy huh yoop?
Are you keeping track of what your pulling down from each light?Kinda curious if the cobs outyield the other led,nice job buddy another one in the bag.

My six COB Cree CBX 3590, is killing it so far. Two weeks old autos and some great Mexican brick weed seeds from 15 yrs ago.

The girls are hanging in my basement, lotta room there. My grow room is in my garage. It measures about 7' X 7' X 7' inside. I actually use half of it, 3' X 7', to grow in.

Love that blue tape, no residue left when ya pull it off. Just from looks, I would say yes, the girls under the 200 watt cob out did the 300 watt led. Lights were not separated. Light setup was 300 led, half working 300 led, 200 cob led, all in the 3' X 7' grow area. Hope ya understand my explanation.

Thumbs up for you. Getting 15 year old seeds to pop ain`t easy, congrats. Keep `em green.

My grow space is a room that I built in my garage. Actual space is 3' X 7' X 7' high. Was using 3/300 watt LED lights (Advanced Diamond Series 300/DS300`s). During my last grow one took a shit, called the company and was told, they`re obsolete, no parts available. Did not make me happy. Next, the second one, had some of the LED`s stop working. So, now I have one good DS300, one half assed DS300 and the new Timber grow light (200 watt). Plan to get 3 more of the Timber 200`s, when finances allow me to. Payday is Tuesday, on a fixed income, so I will buy some aluminum L channel to build the frame with.

The rig is 3'x 6' ( Lowes), space used is about 5'x7'. Won't lie, 20 COB DIY setup will cost you.
For what you see, maybe about $1200, including another 4 COB rig in a 2'x4'
The 3070s GreenGenes 200 Watt tutorial, the 3590s GrowMau5 V kit from Cutter.
Since I built this, the availability of COB kits/parts has increased (cost going down) over several months.
The build is easy. Lowes, Radio Shack and Amazon. As one can see I did the basics, nothing
fancy. Works for me. This run the nutes used... Jacks 321. 10 gal res, 6 tsp, 4 tsp, 2 tsp...
can't get any simpler. Ya see the results.
Hope this helps.
Stay safe!!
Success w/ya grow!!!

I don't know how I ever missed your reply. But thanks for replying. So 1200.00 I could build that light huh? I'm very interested in doing that. I probably got 1200 that I would spend on it . What's the actual current draw at the plug?

I think I will build the frame and put a 300w cob setup on it. 2 cobs on each end and 2 cobs in the middle with my 2 600w hids right where they are.
I veg and start early flower and then switch on the hps during last 6 weeks of flower, along with the Cobs.
That's will cut about 4 weeks of hid out. Cost effective. ..

Sounds like ya got a plan and a good one at that. I used angle aluminum for my frame. I be saving money to buy more kits, want 3 more to cover my space.

Thanks. My plan is always a work in progress. But I do try to stick to some principles.
We see how the first cob setup is. Having the frame all ready to just put cobs on as I evolve that's the part I like.

This what I just finished, six COB's at 75w each, from Timber. The frame I made myself, really is working great, gets about 90 degrees at the most.

Looks like it turned out great. As far as heat goes, after my cob has been on for a few hours, put your hand on top of the heatsink pins and they are barely warm.

When run at max, a couple of the pin cushions get very warm. With the wattage vs sq ft, I don't have to and that was my goal for now, until I go bigger.

OK, finished bottling up my gang of girls earlier. My first all organic grow. Happy with the results (14.24 oz`s). The two Candy Princess plants are the only ones that we can compare as each one spent its time completely under one light. The one under the Advanced DS 300 yielded 35.6 grams. While the Timber 200 produced 50.3 grams. In conclusion, the 200 watt Timber out performed the 300 watt Advanced Diamond Series 300, IMO.

Will be getting my two Cree cobs cxb3590s on Monday adding to p300 and Legend 315 watt dimmable. 600w+ draw :) that mix of platinums awesomeness.. LEDGLEs tunibility n CREE cxb3590s Cobs spec of white will slay in bloom.
