Go to ledgardner.com there is tons of info on strips an cobs. Strips give more uniformity with better penedration imo.

Have you considered using strip lights. You could use bridgelux eb gen 2 strips. 8 4ft 5000k eb gen 2 strips https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/bridgelux/BXEB-L1120Z-50E4000-C-B3/976-1733-ND/7907662 8 4ft heatsink material, this or 1" angle or c c channel aluminum...

Lol. She is pretty beautiful. We've been together for 2.5 years, and have known each other since the second grade. We were best friends for about 10 years before we got together. I have nothing to worry about.

Haha. That's not how it works around here =P I have my bank account she will never have access to lol. I learned the hard way on my last marriage and joint bank accounts!

I do the finances in the house. Lol. She makes her own money also. Thanks a bunch!

It's only a couple weeks. Plus I don't really have the time right now.

These will be built on 1" aluminum heatsink.

Nice.

He'll yeah. I'll definitely check into that.

Wow. I never thought of that. How about adding a far red initiator before lights out? Would I need them?

I can get some good deals on some strip lights to build some good grow lights. I can build these lights with a strip light. The good thing about using strip lights is that you have more air flow through the strips. What do you guys think about 80 cri vs 90 cri for growing? I can get these...

I meant to put 2700k and 5000k. My mistake. It equals about 3800k. It won't be a perfect light, but it will definitely be an upgrade from most led grow lights, for cheaper. Plus the 2700k and 3500k will be on it's own channel for a flower mode with a 2 to 1 ratio. And you could turn up the 5000k...

5000k and 300k makes about 3500k. I've seen people get some pretty good results from start to finish with 3500k. *edit* The vestas are 2700k and 5000k lol. My mistake.

I seriously thought about putting some together and maybe doubling my money. I'm getting married next week. After that I'll have some extra cash to invest in building some lights. I'm getting some really good deals on drivers right now. It would be an extra $75. These drivers are great and...

I can make you a list of supplies with links if you would like me to.

I haven't ordered them yet. I am still waiting on my first order to come in. Once I get started on this build I am going to have to order it. I just priced all the stuff on digikey and heatsink usa. Hopefully the prices doesn't shoot back up in the near future. My current build will be 10 eb...

I can build a nice veg/flower light with 10 bridgelux eb vesta series. They are 90 cri and have both 2700k and 5000k. About 75w each spectrum. Maxed out it would be 148 true watts of about 3500k when both are maxed. Both spectrums will be dimmable separately. Total cost is $111. That's including...

Oh definitely. I am definitely going to invest in better lighting after a few grows. I know all about the qb boards, strips, ECT. I just don't want to flip out that cash yet. The main question I would need is should I remove the blurple led panel and attach it to the frame I'm building, or...

About 1 year ago I made the stupid purchase of a cheap purple led "150w" ufo thinking it would be enough to grow in the 32"x32"x64" tent I bought. After doing much research I screwed the pooch so to speak lol. But it was l s only like $25. After doing a lot of research (mostly from the vids...
