VEG COB Combo

[LED Light User]

Hi Guys
Last Night I build up a Cree CXB 3590
2 COB Combo 3500K + 6500K for my
Veg Box (0,6×0,6m/2×2)
To fire up the Sun a MeanWell
HLG-120H-C1400B with a 100k Poti
(+/-3%=102.3kOhm) makes it easy to dim it up 102.3% with 3 COBs in Step 2
The COBs are active air cooled and 1.43A take out 99.8 Watts @69.8V
The Power is Unbelieveable right now
In Step 2 I will build a third modul with a second 3500K or 3000K to switch up to 150W for flowerin'
The Frame will follow on monday

Hey I'm also looking to build a 2' x 2' veg tent like you and was wondering how you came up with 1 3500 K COB and 1 6500K COB? Also look forward to seeing pics once you set it up

Why did you add a 6500k?
5000k would be all you need for a Veg light anything over isnt needed at all.
Not sure why you didnt build a 3500k or 4000k or even a 3000k.

Isn't 6500k a very common veg bulb? In all forms of horticultire lighting?

Because I'm a GER Stealth Grower and I can't get any other Binnings as the 3500K&6500K right now

It is very common, however undeeded. a 5000k is your ideal spot. Threre is still more testing to be done in regards to best CCT.
Persoanly I believe 3000k to be the best all round.
If your running only Veg 4000-5000k is all you need.

For Sativas the Cree CXB3590 6500K cannot be beat. My Wild Thai sitting in a smart pot with coco coir is growing like Kudzu. I have both the 3000 and 3500K. When I ordered some 3500K for a friend the supplier was buying the 3500K in lots of 5000 pieces.
