Welcome.Hey, just wanted to join in on your grow. I'm planning on doing a LED grow myself.
Can't go wrong with led.

Welcome.Hey, just wanted to join in on your grow. I'm planning on doing a LED grow myself.
What Country are you in?How much was your led light setup? I am looking into diy but after reading for weeks on end I think I know less than when I started. Your rig looks really nice, do u have a parts list with links so I could build my own led? Or is it cheaper to just buy a prefab kit from timber or cob kits?
Oops sorry.How much was your led light setup? I am looking into diy but after reading for weeks on end I think I know less than when I started.

Saw that and fixed reply lolCanada. LOL is it not obvious by my name?
Oops sorry.
I ordered from one place in US to save shipping and one in Canada.
I can send you a list Friday if you pm me your email.
Very easy to DIY

OK.I'm too new here to pm. Us Canadian growers need to stick together
OK.
I'm not allowed to share links on here so we can discuss your setup.
Grow area size?

I have a cabinet that is 2'x3'x5' high but I think it's too small for a decent crop with led. My wife will let me grow in the garage so ill end up probably with a 3x3 similar to yours. I just need a decent quick harvest so I can stop relying on my LP.
I agree.Count 400 for a decent COB LED for 3x3...minimum.

For a 3x3 i would pick 9x Vero 29 Gen 7 with reflectors.I agree.
In Canada I'd say 600 and your set for a real nice setup.

I run 4x 3500 and kill it.For a 3x3 i would pick 9x Vero 29 Gen 7 with reflectors.
Maybe 2x4000k and 1x5000K OR 3x 4000K on a Meanwell HLG240/2100 to get 240W for VEG.
and 6x 3000K on a 320/1400 to get a max 540W for flower
This way you can start slow on veg turning up to 240W what would be 26W/sqft
then when flip to 12/12 dim the 3 veg cobs to 150W and add the 6x50w of 3000K...450W...50W per sqft and some power left if needed
I would also pick active fans like arctic alpine 11 plus and a dimmable power supply for them. I think this light would be great.
Like this
3 3 4 3 3 4
3 4 3 3 5 3
4 3 3 or like this 4 3 3
I think this one 5000K chip could put out lots of blue for veg and is very efficient, but its not needed. All 4000K or all 3500K would grow fine plants too.
How much would this cost in Canada?

Everyone is over thinking these cobs.
Imagine buying 4 1000 Watt hps to run at 250 a piece?
Makes no sense.
I'd suggest 6 Max.
Each cob means a heatsink.
So by running 4 or 6 your saving cost.
I still say 4 x 1825s is just deadly and economic.
4 x heat sink = 100 shipped
2 Drivers hlg 240h 2100 - 170
Chips = 100
Aluminum " 40
Terminal bar = 5
Wire = 25
$430 for that setup.
The chips and syncs are rough estimates.
