This morning the finishing touches on the first COB panel were done and then it was hung. Currently about 12" above them since I want to see how they react to the new light. It's right around the same LUX as the other lights and they literally put out no heat unless you are 2" away. I need to get a PAR meter if I'm going to be building lights but all I know is that it is f...ing bright.
COB positions:
3000k, 3500k, 5000k, 3000k, 3500k, 5000k, 3500k, 3000k.
3000k chips are 90 cri
3500k chips are 80 cri
5000k chips are 70 cri
Tried to spread out the light spectrum as much as possible. When we get deeper into flower we can take the 5000k chips out and put in 1750k chips for the deep red range.
Then we have the control box and the drivers mounted. The wattage in the pictures was just after they were turned out so they need to warm up. Should be around 215 watts per 4 cobs.
My goal for tomorrow is to get the other panel hung as well. So next week the SCROG can be put on and we can start working them into it. We are getting very close to the flip. 10 - 14 days max.
Time to chain smoke a couple joints and relax since it is apparently monsoon season...just like jumanji!
