    Need help designing a DIY CREE set up

    I know that some do the 5000k mix, it's all good. I use some far red to put mine to sleep (or work) in flowering the last 10 min. I have enough stretch without the 5000k

    Need help designing a DIY CREE set up

    That depends on how hard you run them, 25sq. feet, I'd say at least 25watts per sq ft. @ 1400mA you would need about 12 cob's. I run mine at 700 and 1400 and 1050mA IN DIFFERENT closet type closures. 3000k for my bloom and 5000k for vegging( I VEG @ 800mA. SOMEONE ELSE can give you better...

    DiY LEDs - How to Power Them

    I checked each for DC volts 36.6-7 each. All are running equal, maybe it's the watt meter will check it on others later.

    LED Noobs, STOP Buying China Junk

    It's hard not to have some China parts no matter what you have. Some are better than others, CREE has Chinese plants that build to CREE specs( do they really? ) I had a Chinese light from ebay that was impressive for a 300w light that only put out 88w's. I got 1/2 gram per watt with it. I looked...
