    Rahz wont' i need two fans for the HID? one of the lamp and one for the space? If i can get away with one fan for the 600 watt it might be the way to go, i can use my electrician's time in helping with designing the box

    So the V29 lamp would sort out my 1.2m 1.2m space? with the Grow Boxes and T5 panels, both use fluorescent for clones, one uses fluorescent for clones and sub vege, then into the flowering chamber for some vege and flowering. it's designed to be a high turnover machine. it's got awesome ratings.

    I should have specified, Ideally i'd love a perpetual setup please. I need lighting solutions for all three spots. Only reason I'm choosing LED is because of reduced heat. But it's expensive, and i don't know if it really does reduce that much heat. I like the idea of investing now in a...

    i need a one time build solution. I need to monopolise someone's time for a short period, so i'd rather do it in one lump sum. I have one space of 1.2m x 1m2x 1.6 high, the other will be approx 0.8m x 1.2m x 1.6m. The second chamber would be split in two i think, lower for clones upper for vege

    your post would work well with my electrician mate but went mostly over my head. What's the difference between the vero 29s and the vero 18s ?

    I have an electrician who is going to help me build this. He can run the emitters in series if you can recommend the right driver. Can i have a switch for veging and flowering? do these cobs produce light to sort both? or will i need to build a separate panel for each? Can I mount on all this...

    so if I simplify what I meant: what's it going to cost to DIY my own LED panel that will suit my space? just in case I adjust my budget? some veging mainly flowering, enough of both to cover my space 1.2m x 1.2m x 1.6m high? (can I have a dimmer switch to reduce intensity as the plants get...

    i'm leaning towards led in the main chamber cos of the heat and lack of height. I have 1.6m to play with. with HID I'd have to keep them 50cm away from the plants. that leaves me with a max height of 1.1m. very small plant? high turnover cycle? i figure if I go with led's i can get another...
