Cree also makes these bulbs too but are about 3per - I wonder what those can do

I like it, lol you would need 32 of the 15w

Yeah those Cree bulbs are baller lol! I bought a 20 pack of 15 watters for ≈$24. I think I already have the bulbs to do it with some bulbs laying around. Just need 2-3 more fixtures. It'll be a separate thread for sure.

Have you ordered from this seller before? I've had things take over a month from China.

It took about 5 weeks, that seems to be the standard time for most items ordered from China unfortunately.

Thanks for the info! I'll definitely keep the seller in mind.

4 lights in a 5X5 tent. Brfore and after, Transplanted from 2 to 5 gallon pots and lower growth cleaned up.

This will probably be my last update to this thread. I feel like I've thoroughly shown what these can do. I don't think many people plan to grow their indoor plants over 4ft. I definitely recommend these for any budget grow over cfl, T5, or MH. When I get around to flowering with them Ill make a new thread. Here's a couple of pics of the stretchy Bubba's girl from the original pic (pruned the stalky one before I remembered to take pics). She's 4ft tall and about 30in wide. Gonna take one more round of clones from her then throw her outside. She doesn't look too bad considering she was one of my guinea pigs, while I was looking for inexpensive nutes for my hemp garden. This pheno smells and tastes like kushy lemon candy with dense, frosty golf ball nugs.

Just for fun here are the plants that got transplanted in the last set of pics and thrown under cobs for flower. Week 2

Love your idea,i put your threat all around the Bulgarian section when people ask for cheap LED options.:)I hope you don't mind?Trying to convince my friends that it is better to buy 100w LEDs instead of 100w in CFL.And this is what I'm trying,not so cheap like your bulbs but still not too much(about 80 euro) -200w floodlight 4500k.Not bad for veg,wonder what can they do in flower?!It was higher but I decided to put close,Ventilation zero for now but I,m keeping the doors open and few computer fans....

Thriv3 · Apr 13, 2018

Share with everyone! I definitely notice the difference in growth from these and cobs but these will get me by untill I have enough money to have all fancy LED's. I got a similar 150 watt LED lamp for $60 on amazon and had a cpu fan on top of it. It's an outdoor light now but it worked well, just got hotter than I liked.

That's a great idea I love it!

I used to veg for 2 years with 9 and 11 Watts SMD based bulbs from 1000Bulbs and Amazon - really good value untill I discovered Samsung F strips thanks to this forum. Cobs wasn't enough to make me switch from these little chinese made led bulbs for veg that was going for 5-10 bucks each :) due to my tents really not liking COB fixtures due to ridiculous weight, and oh boy - 11 watters were running very hot for their wattage, my 3590's and veros dont get even close to be that hot, but it must be that 140mm pin heat sink... Good choice my friend!

Amazon may be better choice if you are in US and have Prime

I lifted it up(the floodlight) a little after that pic.I wanted to grow them bushy but too close is not good.:)Anyway I keep it as close as possible.

Hey dude! Check out my grow diary in my content. I built the 320 watt flower light and am currently doing a side by side grow with cobs. Cobs are clearly ahead right now but it could be close!

JakeyBakey · May 19, 2018

@Thriv3 Havent been around in a while but felt I could share a glimpse - flowering with these now - using about 650 watt in this 4x8 (just hit week 4, smaller ones are week 2) , no training just basic test grow - getting very frosty results :fire::cool: things are bright shades are a must

Thriv3 · May 19, 2018

@JakeyBakey Looks good for only 650 watts dude! What genetics are you running?
