I am new to DIY grow lights and growing. I've spent as much time as I can on this site trying to learn to build lights and grow medicine and there is so much to learn. My state allows 4 plants for personal use. I'd rather grow it than buy it so here I am. With the help of the many "growing gurus" here I hope to build the light that will work for my application.
My grow space is a 4x4 grow tent. I want to go passive so the plan is to use two 48" by 4.600" serrated heat sinks. The COB's I'd like to use are 3000k Cree 10x CXA3070's (5 COB's on each heat sink). I see that for $20.00 more I can upgrade to the 3090's...so that is a possibility. The drivers I want to use are Meanwell 60-1400 for the 3070's but I'm not sure what the best drivers would be for the 3090's. I'll have one if not two fans in the tent to circulate air.
I'm not sure if this is a viable plan or just a noob overthinking this thing. Any advice or ideas are deeply appreciated. Thank you in advance, Roach
