....well8 for a 3x3? Do you really need that much?
I have 16 for a 4x4. This time next year I'll have 32 for a 4x8 plus another 8 for a veg tent during winter times.8 for a 3x3? Do you really need that much?
8 cobs at 1400 mA should be great. Make sure to get the dimmer. I'm doing 8 in a 3x4' space and it is working well, but I have to keep it at least 18'' above to keep them from getting stressed. Good luck man.Getting ready to pull the trigger on a MAU5-V111 (x8 COB) setup for a 3x3 Gorilla tent. Is this a wise choice for an area this size? I was planning on all 3500k.. Would it benefit to mix? Also, I was going to mount them in a 3x2x3 config. Thoughts?? Thank you!!
Your can always dim down, whereas more light requires more COBS....well
Perhaps I dont? Haha.. That's why i'm throwing it out there.. This would be my 1st foray into LED lighting and my first grow in about a decade. My old setup was a 600w HPS in a 4x2 space which i ran for years. Is running x8 cobs too much? Dimmer?
Cheers, yeah thats what I was proposing, to go with a 700ma driver so 8 cobs at lower watts but really high efficiency .first grow.i would not worry about it.but yeah 8 cobs in the 2 x 2.5 is kinda overkill. 5 or 6 cobs is plenty.or do 8 at lower currents like 700ma
great choice. peaceGetting ready to pull the trigger on a MAU5-V111 (x8 COB) setup for a 3x3 Gorilla tent. Is this a wise choice for an area this size? I was planning on all 3500k.. Would it benefit to mix? Also, I was going to mount them in a 3x2x3 config. Thoughts?? Thank you!!
my gojis don't like 3500k cree cobs for some reason even in veg with stable nutes they never look happy happy joy joyi'm using 8 for 3x3 it's actually perfect. colas are almost the size of water bottles on my goji og
Do a square pattern with 10 inch spacing. i put 5 plants in that space and the middle one has good sized colas too.
What the hell are you talking about? You wouldn't lose lumens, you'd gain them, even though they mean absolutely nothing collectively, PPFD is way more important, and my efficiency is 50%. You tell me the PPFD of one of your lights driven at a lower amperage and I'll show you how you're not outdoing one of mine. 89w for the PPFD of a 400-600w HPS.
How do you figure driving the same light at a lower amperage is better than driving it at a higher one when you still get 50% efficiency? Especially when that efficiency puts your electric cost at a little more than a 60w incandescent light bulb? 89w isn't really all that important, considering the power.
