Well then thats a game changer in my eyes. Thats 8 drivers like you noticed. And as of now the light uses 400 watts which 12 -15 3 watt leds per pcb using about 33.33 watts per pcb. I would much rather use 400+ watts of cob....but will still need to mull over other needs such as heatsink/coolers...
Thanks fo the input Bueno! i was just writing a message while you wrote this in regards to the drivers I have so thanks for that answer.
With the options at hand,
I could easily get all white modules from cidly at a very low cost. Though not efficient or top notch leds.....but my panel has...
So far the votes are a land slide in favor of cob action , though it will be an open poll for a few weeks. So that I'll be investment ready for the decision
Duly noted puff learn something new everyday, I also have 2 ufos that pull 66 -68 watts each and are dedicated to just 630nm and 660nm leds. So "if" I had gone all white with the panel I could use the ufo to supplement the extra focus on reds for flower.
I am open to 3000k and 4000k as this light would mainly be for veg purposes, but I could def see myself using it as a flower light in a tent as well.
The sgs 160's I had i did like a lot before going cmh, I didn't know the rw was 5700k with 630, guess my spectrum of 6500k and 630/660nm wasn't...
Obviously this topic has been touched on a few times already, but i just wanted more insight about this debate as i have a possible upcoming diy project. I say possible because I may not have to change an led unit in my arsenal at all. The light in question is a Cidly Apollo 16 that a while back...
That's why I'm glad I'll have further use for mine since I always need extra room. I was going to make a diy tent with poles and panda poly film but said f#ck it and bought a tent. I always start new seeds here n there so between that and clones this tent should pay for itself in usage alone.
I have a 2x2ft tent on its way folks , ll have my own designated cup area lol...60$ well spent :bigjoint: Figure it will serve me well for a separate cloning area in the future since I keep "retiring" from these comps hahaha :roll:
I'm not saying mine until the day of :cool: lol....but I'm bringing out the big guns with an awesome strain ;) But being as they are regular seeds i will have to start 5 this time unfortunately....
Hahahaha you know i didn't expect the large growth spurt from the size they were when i transplanted lol 20 gal is def going to be my approach in the future but only because ill be doing one plant per light
Thanks Psuagro, I def assumed the topping at this point was a large no no. And def...
Veg update is just dandy at least :bigjoint:
Down to the best 5, one plant of each strain. I have the other phenos at my other grow op, just in case the lack luster plants I discarded from here turn out to be winners in flower.
This update is a catch 22 it has been lonnnng over due since showing the big cmh room which is a big difference from the very nice situation I have going on in the indagro side of things lol. My plants have taken the F over! 20 gal has proven one thing huge fucking plants....now giving them only...
Day 11 since the flip to flower, i have been just using 12/12 and not sure if i should go to 13/11 but they seem incredibly happy as is. I will point out two things. I have been using my earth n grow kit this run, which is the white wires you see hanging, basically supposed to "ground" the...
