So I may be locating to a different state soon and I'm at least wanting to make a half-hearted effort to try and take a few rooted clones of this prized local AK-47 cut from my way back to, in a small box with say a single or a few tiny led diodes inside just enough to keep the cuts healthy and...

This is what I'm doing with my HLG-550. I'm at full flower with the light about 10'' from the canopy... two plants under a scrog screen. The light is dimmed all the way down. There was never any bleaching, which is odd because I got that from cobs dialed up at the same distance. I suppose a...

Awesome builds going on in this thread. I'm running an HLG-550 in a 3x3 tent myself, scrogged. I have the light dimmed all the way down and am just killing it right now. This light blows away COBs in my opinion. This is the new tech that really will change the way we grow. As others have pointed...

I'm growing in an extremely similar setup at the moment: HLG 550 in a 3x3 tent above a tightly woven scrog screen with 1.5" x 1.5" squares. Thank you @907guy for the pics!!! :)

Go with the HLG 550. I dropped over eight bills on mine with a discount not too long ago (was that labor day?). Anywho, this light has so far performed WAY beyond my expectations. It is a true 1000w HID replacement. Straight up. I have mine in a 3x3 text over a two plant scrog running a cut of...

Awesome work as usual Rahz! Man you are definitely the most underappreciated led builder out there. Get on some livestreams and spread the knowledge!! Growtube Roundtable, GreenGenes TechTalk, Tricky D show, Trichome Chasers, etc... I always felt you needed to make a guest appearance on one of...

maybe one post instead of 150 in a row nfhiggs?? Thanks for mucking up this thread asshole!

Man these new Chill LED lights (the new quantum ones, not the old PCBs) are friggin' gorgeous! But man oh man.. you guys priced them out of EVERYONE's range. The smallest 200w unit along with the outboard controller would clock in well north of $800. I mean these new hand built lights are like...

That's too bad. I recently purchases one of the last few remaining w90s in stock and it arrived to me no problem and quick too. I'm still using it alongside a Tasty bar in my veg tent. It really is a beautiful and quality light. Sounds to me like somewhere along the line the company bit off more...

Wow.. lot of mudslinging going on and there's one thing that's for sure - seems like we don't have any grow journals with quantum boards or anything similar to that just yet. Myself I believe they may be a lot like the big 5 and 8u CFL bulbs which put out an excellent spectrum but suffer quite a...

^^This about sums things up. These particular two advantages mean quite a lot in a small, closet style grow. To me having the driver output controlled by a potentiometer is best. Basically you dial up the output the further the plants are along. Way more efficient than running a 600w hps or...

Excellent info as always Rahz!! 8-)

cxb3590s running at 1.4mpa each, 3000k seems to be the ticket. The 90 cri versions would be pretty dope though for spaces with a lot less headroom. Doesn't a higher color index rating equal less lumen output? To me 90 cri cobs seem like the most exotic option, maybe not the best performing however??

I'm running one of these at the moment alongside a 4000k a51 W90 in my veg tent. These particular lamps are totally overbuilt and very efficient! Instead of a dimmer knob it's got a full/half power rocker switch. The fan is noisy as all hell but very effective... like I said, overbuilt. Killer...

Damn that looks nice in a 2x2 @NapalmD!! I myself am running twin Photon 180s in a 2x2 (Jardin DR60) as well.. One is Vero Gen 7 at 4000k and the other being Citizen 58 at 3500k. I've loved high power Veros forever and find them at 4000k to be the best leds. Very interested to see how this run...
