What's good photos?
Thanks for the compliment. I know it's nearly impossible to catch lightning in a bottle more than once unless your name is CareStaker. I have a few bubblegum in this run as well. I can't wait to see what smells the brix enhances with these strains. Welcome

Glad u stopped by. I welcome your eagle eye and input. I wish I had the balls to install my own circuit breakers. I think paying to get it installed was money well spent.
 
Good evening :420:
I thought I would make today's post about the lighting I will be using this year.
In my previous grow I ran an adjustable 600w HID w/MH and HPS bulbs. I supplemented with a 180w led.

This go round I have new lights from the amazing sponsors of 420magazines' 2015 POTY contest::cheertwo::circle-of-love::cheertwo:

DIY led tech is something I have been curious of for many years. I decided to do a dive into learning as much as I can about this tech. I have come to the conclusion that for MY grow efficiency is very important.
The light spread and spacing that cobs provide are superior to single light sources, especially when you can build an enclosure that fits your grow space.

Timber DIY Cree 4 COB kit:
200 watt CREE CXB3590 4000k DB bin.
This COB DIY kit comes with (4) Cree CXB3590 LEDs pre-assembled and mounted on highly efficient 100mm Cooliance black anodized aluminum pin cushion heatsinks.
Using Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B power supply with waterproof quick connectors and a pre-wired potentiometer for dimming.
Using this driver I will be running the cobs at 50% of its recommended wattage. At 56% efficiency, these heatsinks will allow me to run this light without fans. IE passive cooling.
I have aluminum L shaped 4 foot bars I intend to mount these to. Pics this weekend.

ooww wwweeeeeeeeee now thats some bling fo shiz
 
Thx photos! :thanks:
I put my HID in the attic. Maybe Ill pull it out if I need heat in the winter.:rofl:
 
High Duggan,
Humbly I agree, it IS a nice bit of kit n kaboodle.:high-five:

The learning curve never ends it seems.
I guess I'm best when I don't stay in the comfort zone too long to get lazy.
 
Hey GG,
Long time no see bro! Good to see you around the yard.
I commented to a thread on YT you had going with Icemud some time back.

Was just staggering by and it sounded like a party in here. Digging the new upgrades. Nice lighting!

Been curious about trying the High Brix myself. Rock it, dude!

:theband:
 
That's an especially fine selection of lamps you have! :bravo:

The Advanced XML350 has been a workhorse for me - I really like it - and the rest are all white COBs - nice!

I have a Vero18 build planned out, and I just may pull the trigger on it this summer... :hmmmm: ... do I want a bunch of lights I don't need or do I want an extra $600? ... :hmmm: ... :cheesygrinsmiley: ... :slide:
 
Hey OG
Good to see u here.
Kinda crowded however you can have my seat. I'm too amped to sit. .
you sir are much to kind, but that seat should be reserved for YOU, I can squeeze in over by Shiggity
I can see why you are so amped though, WOW nice set up

My man Millertm
Glad u stopped by. I welcome your eagle eye and input. I wish I had the balls to install my own circuit breakers. I think paying to get it installed was money well spent.
Thats the advantage of knowing an electrician my friend :cheesygrinsmiley:
