Sixstrings Led Cob Builds

[sixstring]

I run about 30w per sq ft

Growerslights.com has some QB kits you can get ideas from,have no idea if they are cheaper elsewhere.I have 2 hlg550s getting ready to be hung and im going to get 2 more of the DIY 600 kits very soon.Ive been waiting for those new v2 boards and i think there in,6% less power and 7 or 8% more light is what stephen says.

timber is making a badass 6 panel rig with the new v2 qb288.600w so 100w per board,should last 10-12 years run like that and kick fucking ass over a 5x5 or 4x5 area :cool:

Yeah I just saw v2 boards somewhere when I was looking. I just ordered 2 of the hlg100 with the drivers n all together. I just want to see how bright they really are.

I'm running 30W/sqr' in a 2x2.5x2.5' veg box and when plants come within 4" from lights they start bitching.

Are these fixtures worth even messing with for someone wanting to try a LED? Serious discount, seems attractive for a first time LED purchase.

Ok question for you @sixstring. 4x4 grow space and I have purchased the HLG600-V2 3000k. I get the feeling I won't benefit from adding any more red/far red based on the spectrum of the 301B 3000k diodes does this seem reasonable to assume? But I will definitely need to supplement UVA/B and was thinking that adding 2-25w 36" reptisun 10.0 that claim to be effective at 20" would be my best option. I am fairly confident this would be adequate but as a new grower I would definitely value your opinion on it.

i wouldnt worry about the uv light but those reptisuns put down the burn if thats your game.maybe 3 or 4 hours a day when your not in there.

Cobs n quantum's,no uv :cool:

The price per lumen or PAR watt has really dropped in the last few years with COBs and Quantum Boards. I bought anArea 51 R/W 75 watt panel for $170 over 4 years agp. Today 135 watt Quantum Boards can be had for that!

does that meter read 74 degrees and 39 humidity? WOW! that think is covered in snow. JUST WOW!

 

[sixstring]

Yeah bottom number is probably more accurate so 78 and 40 sounds about perfect :cool:

what do you use for pest control? Thank you six string.

This is exactly what I'm mentally wrestling with... My system is exactly like yours except I'm running another 6 COBs in a 4x8 tent. I would love to make strategic changes without wasting a ton of money on equipment and energy costs. My last run is going to come in at roughly 2 pounds from 6 plants(I'll know the exact figure next week)... can I up that number by simply adding/enhancing the lighting ... I don't know...

is that two pounds wet or dry? That's probably a stupid question.
