that led kit should be about 240w

but that kit is def just a aquarium kit

I would def go with something like Timber/Cutter orrrr

cheapy but effective

but the Timber and or Cutter kits are much more effective and alot better

if you are gonna piece everything together
Rapid has the cheapest price on Cree Cobs

like this seems a good deal!

What mA 2100 or 1400 ?
If yours is 300 then is this one 250?

Guess I'm not familiar with cutter kits...
I'm trying to come up with a way to build out my led light 1 row at a time so I can afford it and build it out slowly... I was hoping I could build 100 watt strip for a 150...

no that isnt how that works

the driver is capable of 240w
but each cob @2100Ma will be running @75w
the math is
V x Ma =
so 36 x 2.1a=75.6
75.6 x 3=226.8

it isnt like car amps

but those are my drivers and cobs
I built 2 cobs per driver leaving space for future cobs so each 2 cob is 150w of cob

eventually I will rebuild with passive cooling a 6 cob array @2100Ma
wich will be about 450w....probably way to much for a 2x4

I can help you piece things together
it all depends on what Amps you want to run @
1050/1400/1600/2100

and how many cobs you want to get going
100w strips can be 1/2/3 cobs depending on what you are running

I guess I'm trying to understand what would be better... 1 at a 100
1 over each plant so 8 of them when completed. The higher mA the less cobs needed right?

So do you think that is a good deal?
I want you to pick me a set up I can continue to build on. Starting at a 100w or 150w at 2100 mA.
Then every harvest I can add another 100 or 150 till I've completely replaced the hids. ..

Ending with 800 to 1000 watts of cobs and I want it dimmable!

So I could get 1 of what you got which is 2 cobs at 2100 mA and 1 mean well driver.
And every harvest add another 1 till I got 6 of them...
How cheap can I get the 2 cob 150 watt setup?

@Wisher619@mdm@eventhorizan good evening to all:)just wandering y'all's thoughts on this leaf. It's happening kind of randomly around the plant. Is this still a mg issue? The buds are looking a bit pale as well?

I wouldnt actually go that route

Maybe pick what you want to get ultimately
then every chance you have some cash....get a few more parts
so when you do build it
you do it all at once
not one spot at a time

you can get the 2 cob relatively cheap

about $200.00

but there is a better route you can take then that

we first need to know the exact sqft you want to light up
we already know the wattage you are shooting for
so we can then see how many cobs can cover that sqft with that many watts and we can build from there

I'm all ears brother... Give me your best 3 routes..
Now I have a dead spot right now between the 600's
1. I would like to put the 200 in the middle.
2. Then 1 on the very outside of each side.
3. Then add 2 more where the 600's set now.
That's a total of 5 sets at 200 watts for 1k of cobs..

I could afford doing that in them 3 steps.
My foot print was supposed to be 4x8 but it grows to 5x9. .. so we will call my area 5x8x71"

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Dude the clones in the cups =]]]]]]]]]]]], I just tried an experiment in a bottle of water and took cuttings yesterday we'll see how that goes

Thank you. @Wisher619 would that be under feeding during flower?

well in flower usually bloom nutes are higher in K so I am not sure

16 cobs only really cover a 4 x 4 space
you can cut that # down some but not by much
I mean you can go 12 cobs per 4x4 but that to me is bare minimum in that space
to get close to 1k you would have to run them soft @ 1.05a/1050ma
that will get you coverage but not the penetration
you would have to bump it to at least 1.4a which will put you at 1200w

but you are lookin @ easily $1500.00

Wow... that's a lot.
I could put 4 cmh kits in there for $1000
1200 watts...
See those are the hard decisions...
I just want to cut down on my electric, and that means heat from lamps.
I'm about reducing my electrical foot print but not losing my yield which isn't nothing to brag about now as it is.
And then part of me says use the room for 1 harvest a year for max weight, and shut down for the other 9 months...
I'm just so torn on what to do. If my state would just get on board and quit trying to make a criminal out of me, then this would all be water under the bridge.
It's pathetic that a 100 miles away I wouldn't be a criminal...

yeah if you are trying to get it done now
CMH is probably the best way to go

with LED when you start scaling up it gets pretty expensive and probably dosnt get you the best return on investment
especially when you can run 2 1k gavitas in that same spot for less money

of course you dont have the head room some something with less wattage and heat works better
cmh def could do the job for less heat
