36 plants in a 3x3? 3 to 6 maybe, I wouldn't run more then 4, they will be fighting for light and room

I'm doing 10 in a 2x4 right now. No light fight. (Note. Under 9 COBs.)

So in comparison of the 90 cut vero 29's to the hps grow do you end up with a similar yield or does the hps still win? Quality the same or better?

Led wins across the board.
186w in the tent
10 plants
Possible yield 20-30 ounces
Total electricity cost for 3 months $240-280
1.8-1.9 g per watt.

Good deal but pin sinks are still way more efficient. We need an American pin fin heatsink factory.

I heard from many sources that they wouldn't fit either, but they fit..
Hi there. I read the thread.
Great thread.
I'm looking to replace 2x600W HPS in a flower only area. Walls are 4x6'. Plants grow in 40x60" area (1x1.25m) or (3.3x5')
I would prefer to have 2 fixtures that light side by side 20x60" (0.5x1.25m) zones.
My second choice is one fixture where light can be individually turned off for each 20" (0.5m) square zone.
I am in the USA.
My main motivation is to reduce my electrical usage (save $$) spending the minimum money that will yield a solution that lasts for 5+ years.
If the technology or price will be a better in 3 months, I can wait 3 months. If shipping takes 2 months, I can wait 2 months. I might have to wait 2-3 months for money anyway.
I understand basic 110V wiring, but not much about electronics. My soldering experience is pretty much limited to attaching several dozen resistors to socket pins with a solder gun. I had a 90% success rate. The soldering Iron I have now is next of kin to a woodburning tool. Gluing and screwing is not a problem. I have a cheap analog multimeter and probes that I have used for decades.
In the COB world, it sounds like the 1750 is the recommended fit.
If the 3500 is easier on the eyes, I'd prefer a white light and spending a few watts on wasted heat.
I'm not the kind of guy who plays with dials and will be comparing 40% to 50% of total wattage. I prefer to set the trim pot, hit dip switches, or wire in a resistor and forget about it. I'm more into raising and lowering a light to increase/decrease PAR.
so ....
What's my 'best' parts list and where do I shop? (PM me if that works better.)
