What about running the 72 V Cs @ 700? Is this an option as well? Could this be done with one driver?

Part number depends on CCT and CRI
lol I know it's the dumbest way to check, but with the Mars Hydro, I could easily tell where the PPF diminished by using the back of my hand under the light.
Same thing with this COB fixture. Very slightly less intense in between the COBs but I don't think it will make a difference with overall...
I did what I could with the wiring. In hind sight I should have measured each length of wire instead of just cutting a random piece. It's only aesthetic, but it bugs me. Plants are loving it.
These 3000k 90CRI are not overwhelmingly bright, but the color of the light is beautiful. Very warm...
I was planning on maybe adding them in the future. There's not much in stock right now. The light seems to be pretty even across the canopy without them, but they will be easy to add with the mounting holes on he COB
Every little bit counts. I ordered the COBs through digikey because Mike has the 3500k 80cri, and they weren't in yet when I started ordering. These are probably just as good, but I wanted to try to 90.
It's awesome that all of these companies are willing to cut us a break! They should be...
Already planning the next one. Haha I'm hooked. I want to try out the Citizens for a veg space because the Mars Panel is destined to die at any moment.
I'm still trying to determine how much space I'm going to use. I could move this setup to a 2x4 tent and use the slightly smaller 6' Sq ft...
I was disappointed with how small the poke-in Connectors really were. I had to use wire strippers around 20 guage. It might be easier with solid core wire. The release mechanisms are not fun either lol
:hump:
I can't stand to work in gloves, so with temps that cold I was taking way too many smoke breaks. I only broke one drill bit, and luckily it wasn't one I really needed.
All in all it was about what I expected. I always underestimate how long things take. Hoping for 2 hours, it was...
3000k 90CRI Vero 29. Really awesome color. They should be ready to flip any time now. I need the two smaller ones to get a little wider and taller. I've been shooting for a Valentine's Day flup since I ordered the seeds. I can't believe I'm still on schedule!

They come with the brackets, the hanging cables, and also ceiling mount adjusters. I just didn't like the push button...
