I pieced everything together with the help of @robincnn, Basically everything except the drivers and COB's themselves came from him. Obviously the frame parts and the rivets and what not did not come from him, although the frame for the veg light did. As for cost I will have to tally it up man and see what these two lights plus the veg light came out to. I'm super stoked just got it all buttoned up and the lights are warming up and the dimmers work independently but both bars are on one plug as if they were one light. I need to get a 240V kill a watt to see what she draws at the wall. But I can't find one anywhere........all I see is the euro stuff and it's not the same.

I switched my veg light back over to 120V so I can run it independent of the light controller and got my 120V kill a watt on it and on full blast she's pulling 275 watts from the wall so that was a surprise I got a bit more juice than I was expecting there. Been a long ass night and now it's time for a 7 am coffee and I think I earned myself a phat blunt with some wax rolled up in it to chill for the AM.

My mind is mush and all over man so not sure if I covered everything you asked.

As for the lights, the specs are the following:

- Veg
4- CXB 3590 5000K
1- Mean Well 240-1750B
1- Mod 420 Frame
4- Khatod Lenses
4- 140mm Pin Heat Sinks
4- Bender COB Holders

- Flower
8- CXB 3590 3000K
2- Mean Well 320-2100B
8- Khatod Lenses
8- 140mm Pin Heat Sinks
8- Bender Cob Holders

Plus the usual misc stuff, screws, thermal paste, chains to hang, angled aluminum for frames, etc, etc. And the junction boxes and wago connectors of course. I soldered all the inter COB connections and used wagos everywhere else on connections that might change and for the connections inside the junction boxes.

A couple of pics and it's time for a union break lol........

Thanks man I've never built anything like this before and wiring is not my forte so anyone can do this trust me. Just takes a lot of planning and patience to get it all dialed in. I worked in sessions as to not get over whelmed both with the task at hand and not feeling well.

Now let's see what the 3000K COB's do to GG#8 so far no burning or anything...............she's getting these 3590's on full blast from the get go the T5 was 450w or so, bit of an upgrade but she's taking it well so far I'm also over a good three feet away from the canopy at the moment. So now we start watching how the plant reacts to the distance to the light source and go from there. She's like my little side bitch right now, the chonga that you don't want anyone to see you with lol. :bigjoint:

I don't know about the legend thing lol. Especially with all the plants I've fucked up so far being so new to this. I just read to learn as much as I can and talk to as many people about growing that are more knowledgeable than me so I can keep learning. This plant gives me a different quality of life in a good way so despite all the madness I do take it seriously, and I am lucky enough to have had the help here of quite a few people now and a couple of them on a very consistent basis. Despite the trolling that flares up, there are a lot of good people still lurking around here with a lot of knowledge, you just need to learn enough to even be asking the right questions and then the support emerges. I can see with the trolling at the level it has been how it could get old quick for the long time members and then they just fade and hide in the shadows of information lol.

But when the time comes for you I would be happy to help in any way I can. There are other alternatives to cree that are more affordable if budget is an issue. And there's folks like @robincnn, and @Rahz who are around to help if you need anything.

Ok stupid/high babble over
Cheers! :blsmoke:

Thanks for the support and the kind words brother! Very much appreciated. You and a handful of other folks are why I started this up again, plus I thought we would all get a kick out of seeing what happens with this discarded lady here. We will all see what no till does it's new to me first run doing it but loving it thus far! (:

36 Hour Pic, she shed the rest of the dying stuff on her own. I didn't pick off any old tops because new growth is coming out in a bunch more places so for the tops I let her do her thing and everywhere else I just took off fan leaves at the beginning. She's got the big COB all to herself for the time being lol.......

Any time buddy! I'm glad you kept this going too, I always enjou reading other peoples threads and joining in the banter!!
Awesome man, she's pumping out the tops now. I'd even look to chopping some of the branches with no green too, it will then concentrate all its energy into pumping out the green! I think you'll be surprised how many clones you'll get out of her!!

Yeah there's a branch or two that's bare but I want to see what she does still as she takes to her new pot of soil. One of the bare branches is starting new growth sights so I don't want to jump the gun on chopping any more right now. But yeah I can see clones everywhere on here lol.

It's also nice to be able to walk into and around my flower area not use to that lol.........feels like a real grow and shit :cuss:
