    All COB Users - Lettuce Grow Challenge!!

    Yeah. I pulled the plastic lenses off the lights and put some white lattice behind them and got a pretty good bump in light. Something like 30 or 40%. Also, good to hear from you old mother! Its been too long

    All COB Users - Lettuce Grow Challenge!!

    it took some digging, but if found what i ordered from alibaba. I used 7 of them over each 2x4 spot (154 watts), so 28 total (616 watts) over a 4x8 table. If i was just doing a 2x4 spot, i would have used more. maybe 9 of them. just so the outside edges would get light. as it was, i...

    Did you do the thing with a bunch of different boxes? If so that was awesome. Then you moved or something? Do it again!

    All COB Users - Lettuce Grow Challenge!!

    I think the concern here is the $3.13 cents a watt over a 2x4 area. I agree, its better then a standard t5 ho bulb fixture. But im not sure i could justify the price of $600. I can get 190 watts of integrated led 5000-6000k fixtures for under $60. Is it the same quality of light? Probably not...

    All COB Users - Lettuce Grow Challenge!!

    I used low end t5 led integrated lights. They were about $5 each. They did pretty well, but leaf shaping wasn't great. I am now using cheap burple lights from amazon. They do a little better on shaping. But really anything led will do better then 54w t5 bulbs from a cost to run standpoint.

    I would think 5k or 6k would be a better option for lettuce. But i recall a test earlier this year. I dont recall the resulte

    Most of us are not doing any real testing, not using standard Scientific Method anyway. You have lots of valid questions, most of which will not be answered here because of the my last statement. I am not a fan of bottled nuts, I think they are overly costly. I use dried nuts. I am also...

    All COB Users - Lettuce Grow Challenge!!

    are you running cobs here? if so, what K are they? the head looks great BTW, no tip burn, a nice head is forming, it looks like its loving that led light. Do the leaves feel thicker to you? I ran some lettuce under 3k cobs once and the leaves got really thick, it was weird.

    that may or may not work. at 52 volts per cob you are 4 volts short on the driver. it will be close. let me know how it turns out

    with a HLG-320h-2100, let me clarify. sorry, i was only responding to your wattage question. I didn't see the amperage information. If you only have 1 driver you will not be able to fire up 6 vero 29 ver B cobs. Vero B are 52 FV (forward volts) and your driver only has 152 max volts output...

    i run my spouts under amazon burple led panels i picked up for $25. After ripping out the cheap drivers, i run meanwells in them now. They seem to do a good job. My seeds start off in rock wool cubes sitting in NFT channels with light nuts. After lots of trial an error, i found this to be the...
