Hi, LED, indoor grow newb. Ive been lurking here and watching a lot of mau5s led begginer vids on YouTube.
Im planning a small grow tent room, 2x2.5 ft gorrilla grow tent. ( the biggest size I can fit in the space I have!) . I am seriously considering the cutter electronics mau5 kits. I guess the no brainer is probably 4 cobs for thet sized space but i was considering going to 6 or even 8 at lower watts per cob for better efficiency something like this from a post by
SupraSPL :@64%
(8 ) CXB3590 3500K CD @ 700mA (23W ea) $380
(1) HLG-185H-C700 $65
184 dissipation W ->66W heat ->
passive cooled heatsink 7920cm² -> 4.23"X44" $68 (could split these into 2 or 4 units)
. I know it will cost more, thats not an issue, but wondering is its ok to have the cobs on the passive cooled pin heatsinks from the cutter electronics kit a lot closer together in such a tight space but then again they will be all running at a lower cooler 23w.
I guess there might be a light spread issue as well. Any thoughts?
