Nice to see you using a chiller.building the RDWC system on sunday and will be starting monday with Day 1,I still have to build the cobs,All the parts will be here tomorrow so ill have alot to do in 1 day.Im debating on putting a divider between the two sets of lights.Will see how it works out.I guess i could hang something from the ceiling and let it go down to scrog.Plants are ready to be flipped for sure,6 GG4 and 6 Wedding cake
pretty good for 17 days of growth since the first pic was taken.

I've had them for a while.Nice to see you using a chiller.
very nice man.On that one I have 24 cobs,3 rows of 8.
(4)hlg 320c1400 drivers and vero29 D series 5000k cobs.6 cobs on each driver.running right at 1300 watts total covering a 4x10 for veg.
This setup is gonna slay veg in dwc my man.
Give or take,may be the camera angle but there a little more than 14 inches which is where I run them.to close and it stresses the plants and creates hot points.they are running at 50w right?
Yeah it looks like 2‘ :DGive or take,may be the camera angle but there a little more than 14 inches which is where I run them.to close and it stresses the plants and creates hot points.
I notice the plants always right under the lights always have less frost talking inches.16 to 18 inches seems to be the sweet spot.any closer and the plants start to look stressedYeah it looks like 2‘ :D
Ive been keepin em pretty close cpl weeks after flip.
Mine are @50w, only drawbacks im noticing is too much frost:drunk2: im thinking they not heating the canopy much @ 50w..... ur gals lookin fine as m8:love2:
My first comparison was with 2 315s and it was ok but just wasnt enough for a 4x5 footprint.3 of them would prob have been better but i think a 315 is really for a 3x3 footprint and 2 would be better for a 6x3.They just wont get out to 4 feet.4 would be perfect for a 6x6 or 6x5.I do think the 1000 is perfect for a 4x4 or 4x5 though.@heisenbubble ooowweee :) I cant wait for this one :) I just got myself a Viridi 1000w cmh (www.gaiastoolbox.com). I think the cmh will do much better this time, because it's de and 1000w, i just feel the light intensity and penetration will be much better than with 3 x 315's. Can't wait to see how this one goes!! Thanks again for doing this for us all mr @heisenbubble sir :)
So far from what I can see in my usage, my new 1000w is much brighter and noticeabley outperforming my two 630w de lumatek cmh's with regards overall brightness and also light penetration. And exponentially so over my old 315w. I can only deduce that it's because it's coming from a single source and us therefore concentrated. The ceramic element is obviously heating to a much higher temp and therefore burning brighter than 3 x 315's. Im only guessing, but my guess would be that a 1000w de cmh on a light mover would outperform three or maybe four 315's. I also think adding a light rail would prob give it the edge overall over led, as the cobs main advantage seems to be coverage, but im just speculating :)My first comparison was with 2 315s and it was ok but just wasnt enough for a 4x5 footprint.3 of them would prob have been better but i think a 315 is really for a 3x3 footprint and 2 would be better for a 6x3.They just wont get out to 4 feet.4 would be perfect for a 6x6 or 6x5.I do think the 1000 is perfect for a 4x4 or 4x5 though.
