@Hanky92 Thanks Hank! Have you harvested yet ???
I haven't checked in a bit, I was getting anxious with you!
Micros:
Tonight is winding down but a good night picked some new hardware for the Arsenal tonight....2 Cree Cxa 3070Ab cobs. The holy grail for efficiency right now!
More leds too: all recapped for now in da blog

Jah is bless.............. or in the language of my people " Unelanvhi udadolisdi"
....it has been many days, but I am able to celebrate 2nite......put in the hard work and I am able to lean back and enjoy some of this:
the jar has been fattened but will fade away soon enough [oldest lesson in the book?]
In celebration of the Nov 4th Vote.....Yes on Measure 91...Legalize it!
@fishdeth
just a nod to the fisherman reference, may not be your change of pace, but the only good Lee Scratch Perry!

Got my Vero's today, just waiting on the driver's.... http://rollitup.org/Journal/abiqua.552006/
Day 23
[little iron/mang problem, before I even flipped, still hasn't completely cleared up, but the mites have been held at bay]
This one was spitting balls all over the place 5 days ago...picked them all off and fingers crossed. Small finisher, but rock solid peanut nugs, lol...
Days 8
This one seems to have a mag problem, can't really see it in the photo, but its hurting a bit.....[one of my strongest veg too, sucks]

@uzerneims Fisherman's DUB is awesome! Glad you liked it, old school for sure..........Great nugs and great tune, that Fisherman dub
How you are pllaned to run you COB's ?
So for the Vero's, I ordered these drivers from Fasttech: I am running x2 Vero's per each driver. Should be between 42-48 watts total for [6] Vero 10 3500k's.
http://www.fasttech.com/products/1739206
Just put a little more work into the Cree box: Not sure what drivers I am going with here:
These are my choices on drivers so far:
Meanwell LPF-60-48
PLN-60-48
LPC-60-1400
PLP-60-48's [my favorite for Meanwell]
These cheapo's from Ebay:
39v 1500mA $10.36

Nice, I just got an email for mine, so I am anxiously waiting
I wanted to go dimmable and all the way up to 2.1a's with my cxa's, but space became an issue.....so I decided to just run 1.4amps or so, for now and upgrade later.
Also other drivers to consider:
http://rollitup.org/t/stealth-led-array-light.845979/page-10
SDS is using the Meanwell HLP-80H
, which is also open frame, but dimmable up to 2.1A? I believe....also if you are going to add more chips at any point....I would think about the 185H-1400-42B. Max of 1.4, but can drive [x4] altogether...
His build is my ultimate inspiration......

Hey gang....time for an update, still going strong. Approaching day 50+ for a couple girls, so a few days to a couple of weeks for some....
Also got busy and almost finished with my first DIY LED horti light.....6x Bridgelux Vero 10 3500k @300mA....haven't hooked a gauge up to it yet..between 45-50 watts and a little over 5000 lumens.
In my mini fridge usually is about 55w's of Cree Home Depot Led Bulbs. This light is about 10% more efficient than the cree bulbs while drawing about 10w's less power @ 110 lumens/watt roughly....[Edit: err...new #'s say more like 120+ lumens/watt...Im all smiles, this is HID territory!]
...hopefully going to start flowering on Dec. 1 with this light....

was wondering what happened with you, glad to see an update with all that joyful frost mate!
gj on the DIY leds its definitely interesting and nice that people share their knowledge to make DIY Leds, they seem to work pretty good and are pretty cheap compared to those expensive brand led, just need alot of good work in it
cant wait to see it in action, keep it up Abiqua

thanks mate! this has actually been a lot of fun and felt not very tedious [even though it was for a couple of days]
I made the leap after running led bulbs for about a year, couldn't be happier. And the tech, I think I have developed some shortcuts too, is easy to follow along.
If you have any questions about building LEDS or the build itself, ask away. Building your own DIY doesn't have to be a nightmare. Especially with white cob's. They really are kicking ass!
more to come

I plan to take the leap and make my own LEDs but now is not the time for me. I'm looking to add 1 Kessil H380 to my setup and use the cheap ebay chinese leds as side/vegetative lights once I'll be done working on my other cab but that wont be done soon yet@pthang
