so that means a true 600 watts being used ???? 90's and 120s i think i would go with also mixture 4k and 6k
reason i asked about lot bins as its mentioned everywhere in LED ..
i am curious on cost of one i might just build on with the obvious help from everyone if i haven't pissed on there corn flakes :) but fck yea 4 k and 6 k mix it has to be

you just talk out your ass if your grows are anything like your attitude I'm sure it's over rated and burns like crap cuz it just keeps coming out of you not everybody grows for bulk like your greedy ass a lot of us my self included get satisfaction for have the sweetest smoothest buds around and they smoke like i dream you can keep talking shit and making radical claims on things you obviously have no idea about and one more time what company do you work for

Make sure to learn to read the flux bin code from the manufacturing part number and datasheet so you know which one you're getting. Try to find the highest flux bin available for the color temperature you're looking for if you can. The datasheet will make it clear why.

As far a organic vs chem. If youare an expert and do chem right Im sure it is fine to smoke. But it is a lot easier and cheaper to do organic right because the plant and microherd is in charge for the most part. Imagine if I tried feeding you intravenously. Chances are your digestive system will do a better job than me at figuring out what nutrients you need and when.
I would take issue with this only on the fact that is is based on the assumption that plants have a stomach for digestion like people. Do plants not uptake what the soil biology has already converted to usable nutrient forms?

That aside, I am always open to following along any type of growing as I feel something can be learned from just about everything. I have been pondering running a few organic plants in my indoor garden but just cant get over the what, how much, and how soon will the nutrients be available train of thought.
I like the concept and use a more or less combination approach in my landscape but just haven't been able to "afford" any hit and miss on my indoor timing with lighting costs etc. being such a premium. I need to know what 4 weeks of growth is going to look like for sure

Darthvapor understands how the no till method works about as well as he understands cob technology and physics. That is to say not at all.

A frequent troll of this section.

Not everyone is stupid enough to broadcast potentially illegal activity on the internet. Probably why most don't post pictures.

700 posts since May 1 says it all. Likely unemployed, or just disturbed. 1st addition to the ignore list to end my anguish and end the relentless notifications. Apologies for my off subject remarks, and hopefully the o.p can get the info he has asked for help with.

Besides the frequent side tracks and off topics comments I can say that I have received a lot of help and that I've learnt a lot from the members here willing to share their tips and advice.

One thing I've come to know is that it's def not recommended to buy LED from these commercial co's or if you do make sure they not full of bullshit. So far I'm contemplating either going with Optic or doing a DIY, but I still got a lot of studying and work to do before that happens lol

<<<chiming in to call you an idiot and a troll.
ok there retard careful you might have a seizure,, i should correct myself WTF little mental imbalance you unhealthy fuck :) talking about unemployed haha thi is to funny you raping the system ?? Careful don't bite your tongue now retard

I looked into it after a seizure, and it seemed there was a lack of info on the subject. One possibility was an increase in seizures which i didnt want to risk. Untill there is proof i probably wont try it as a medication. One seizure was enough for me.
Until someone experiences a seizure they wont know what kind of helplessness it instills. It isn't pleasant and makes you feel as though you have no control over you body. I still dont know why i had it or if i will have another, but i dont want to repeat it.

Hopefully with relaxed regulations these uses can be studied more with real tests and results, rather than hearsay and random unique undocumented cases.

Cobs are fairly simple to work with. I have never built a high wattage led panel but once you understand the basics they are all basically the same. It really comes down to heat sink, and led driver selection. Heatsink selection was the most difficult for me. For a fraction of the cost of a commercial unit you could build yourself a killer unit. Good luck with your project.

What the hell does this drivel have to do with replacing HID's with LED's?

Glad you made your decision, good luck with your studies!!!
I was part of some of the distraction, If you got nothing from anything i said i apologize for the distraction. You got a lot of nice pics from the LED guys and nice ones from the hps guys. Seems like you got good people here willing to help you also. Any ways nice job on the thread, I enjoyed it.

You're talking about yourself correct? Seeing as you're about the only person I can think of that would meet that description.

On a side note, meanwell is coming out with the HLG-240H-C series of drivers. Still trying to find a release date and price tag.

If you want to learn more maybe post in one of the older established DIY threads,lots of people will answer any questions you have. Looks like Area 51's COB light has been pushed back to July but it may be worth the wait if you decide not to DIY.
