Limo's CXB3590 build

I prefer a forming tap over a cutting tap for these small bolts.

What's the difference?

 

[captainmorgan]

A forming tap moves the material to form the threads and a cutting tap removes material to form threads,they work well in soft metals.

Is this what you need for chip lol holders for 3590s and also the same for the 100mm lens metal holders?

Chip holder and reflector connector, I don't know about lenses cause I didn't use them... just reflectors...

Just head to nearest grow shop 1 pound 80p gets you a box of predictor mite eggs in small tic tac like box you hang on plant they hatch and eat every spider mite and eggs until their is none left then predators die no food source left. All over in less than a week by far the best method 100 percent work all the time

Bonjour
Your nearest growshop sells cool things...!
Do you have the name of those nice nasty little beast!(is it predictor mite or is it a brand?)
I am in EU and I had spider mites last grow...I washed but it is so small...I will use neem oil all the weeks but just in case!
Thanks

Very nice growing Limosnero!

Change of plans...

I'm curious to know how a few other strains I run will differ under the COBs so I'm running 4 different strains in 7 gallon pots.

Sunshine Daydream
Smoke Banshee
KKush#5
Chaos

Going to veg until I fill the net but here they are...

SSDD is a winner. Not a big yielder but a keeper nonetheless. The one I have is berry butter. I've always found multiple keepers when growing out a pack...still have 3 packs tucked away

@Limosnero hey dude, check out this thread https://www.rollitup.org/t/pictures-of-your-diy-lights-post-your-pics.871625/page-9

page 9 post #171 @werm11 has the best square spacing using 8 cxbs that I have seen. You may want to consider phase one of your build to be 8 cxb instead of 9 for much better driver utilization assuming hlg185h-c1400

i know this old but how many 3x3 cob set ups do i need to make use of the drivers? i want to build room using 36 cxb3590 at 70-75w each want to cover a 8x8 area 64 sqft

id love to help you, but I dont know where to dig around to find about what drivers ur talking about. email me growmau5@gmail.com be specific about your needs and ill help you .

basically i am building a room with 2 4x8 trays making it an 8x8. sqft will be 64 sqft, usually 4 1000 watt hps would take that spot. i want to use cob leds and want to push around 600-650 watters per 4x4 area but will connect the 4x4 area in a square so 8x8 area. i want to make 4 3x3 cxb3590 cob set up each 3x3 will cover 4x4 of space. i know since that driver
hlg185h-c1400 you stated only can support 8 cobs. or is it supporting 4 cobs? if i use that driver how many would i need for 4 3x3 cob set ups, essentially 36 total cobs. also is this many cobs good for the space?

I see, each 4x4 will have 9 cobs in a 3x3. That's 450watts of LED per light at 1400ma. So one hlg185 will run 4 of those and and hlg240 will run 5 cobs at 1400ma. The combo of the 2 drivers will give you your 9 cob grid, but it ain't no 650w.
