My if I can do it Cree Grow Light most can do it (with a lot of help)

Awesome job!!

This thing is going to kick ass, this WW is really liking it. I did move the drivers to a separate board outside of the chamber, they were making it too warm. Now I can keep the temps between 70 and 80 degrees, the lights are on from 12:30 AM and 12:30 PM.

Thank You sir, for all the help too.

I read back thru this thread. Unless I missed it, medicinehuman never mentioned the CXA's temps? 2700K? 3000K?

Not 5000K, I wouldn't think, because he's flowering with it. But the diode looks kinda pale...

3K

3070 z4 3000K The camera does not give it justice.

OK, thanks.

Is a CXA3070 5K still considered to be best for veg? I've been following the DIY threads as much as possible. I got the impression some folks think the 3K can be used for veg as well as flower?

This is my first baby that got a taste of this DIY job. She's been under for about a dozen days, and is enjoying the hell out of it. I figure about a week or less and she will be done, A few amber magnifiers ( Thrichomes) and a lot of cloudy ones. Very frosty looking, I'm loving it too.

My first full fledged CXA 3070 Z4 3000K grow is just 29 day's along and is doing good, trying to stay cool today as Temperatures are close to 100 degrees F. It is 98 in the shade by the wood pile. The air conditioner is working today to keep my plant's alive, Thank god for AC. There are two medical grade White Widows under them ( 4 CXA's ) , they will be done in 3-4 weeks. I like this WW it is already sticky, it fills along the branches nicely not super big but I could Veg it longer and get more. I got all I need , so all is good. These plant's were 11 and 12 inches when put in and now they are both at 20 inches. The one on the left is 3 day's younger than the right one. Temps were just under 80 when lights went out at 12:30 pm, they are slowly dropping to hopefully a cool nights sleep for them. Temps in the Evergreen State are to drop into the 80's after today, much better. What a wonderful hobby we have.

The White Widows are loving it, they are at 37 and 40 days left to right. Another 12 days or so the first may be done. These lights really keep the nodes just right the way they fill in. Had some stretch at first but worked out good, I'm hoping that they keep filling out a little more which they have been doing. I have the air going out there now , keeping it just right (I hope). We are on a warm streak now, just hope the old craigslist AC keeps working, I have been using it for 3 summers now, so far so good. I tried a new one but it won't work on a timer, you have to manually start every time.

Somedody had asked me ,not while ago,If I was planning to grow from start to finish ,with only 4x CXA3070 Z4's ....

Hmmm , i retired from the bldg trades , if it's not too personal what company did you work for ? Over the years i got to know quite a few roofers , mostly operators & foreman were the one's i coordinated with , shit we might of worked on the same projects .

I won't say company name but it was the Portland OR. local union #49. worked for several contractors one I was there for 26 years.

If you were out of Portland there's no way we could of worked the same projects , i was going by your location in your profile & thinking you were out of local 149 . Im friends in real life with a foreman at a 149 company & know most the foremen from the large contractors in the state , ya kinda get to know the roofers foremen & iron workers foremen on the big jobs being those trades take up so much real estate on site .

Anyhow nice to see another union tradesman on here .

Where should I look for info regarding on starting my own sit? Would like to have what you've made or possibly double up. How much did this cost in the end?

On further thinking if you don't mind pming me the parts your using I would be greatful. I know the 3070s at 3k and artic fans but Don't know where I would find the rest

Just showing the first full harvest ( medical WW ) from these CXA 3070's. there are two plant's from it, one was 3 day's ahead of other. Cut one down Friday morning and the other today. Was doing some camping this weekend and the first plant got almost but not quite to dry hanging while I was gone. Look's about like 4 oz. to me, I'm happy with it. More than I would have got with my pre LED light's.

Very nice medicine, these 3070 COB grows are impressive. More and more finished grows showing up here and all looking great. Very nice job on the grow and DIY lights, cheers!
