My leds are older tech this is as hard as they should be pushed without a full upgrade, which means new heat sinks, new diodes , new driver , basically I need to make a new led when I feel this one is done.

So based on that, why are you saying what I'm insisting won't happen? You've never run yours like I am mine, and I am seeing results that tell me I'm definitely on thecright track.

You could have grown all that with 2x 600w hps or 2x 1000w hps for sure, you got jipped look how close those cobs are bet those lights can barely cover a 3x3 and cost probably 800-1000$ each.

See, we don't mind the up front cost, though. What we care more about is spending 10-12 cents per kWh and having to deal with the extra 1.2-2 kW of electricity we just blew hard cash on for each hour of each day for 3-4 months minimum each grow.

I spent $600 on my lights over 3 months instead of dealing with $300 extra dollars a month spent on light use, AC, and shit like that each month. For each grow, that's minus at least 900-1200 bucks from profit, if you deal. I don't, this is medicine. So even more reason I should not be using HIDs.

Bro you are wildly full of shit. You dont know anything about that grow or the yield but you cant stop from talking out your ass. Dude you're an idiot clown. Really STFU. You'll say anything.

I'm looking for the evidence of my trump support, racism, holocaust denial ANY of them . YO PUSSY @Yodaweed IM TALKING TO YOU. POST THE EVIDENCE OF THE BITCH ASS CLAIMS YOU MADE.

If you lied admit youre a creepy fucking imbecile

Again stop your a idiot all power sources create heat what are people running cobs @ 52 percent efficiency ??? what is the other 48 percent ??? Heat idiot HEAT the more efficient you run a cob the less heat it will produce plain n simple does not mean your going to get better Yields far from it there kiddo
people running cobs to efficient suffer penetration power so the COB law is 52 percent efficient

If you look at vero's the more you drive them as in power the better efficiency you get and better penetration because of power

this is why you do not see huge tree Cob grows because they cannot penetrate you can have all the par you want but if you lose it 12" away then what fucking good is it right ??
Go look at some Cob grows there there sog grows and for good reason not Tree grows like you see with DE units etc
when you see most cob grows what are you really seeing tight compact plants like if they were grown with T5's

No you see at best stretched plants wirey plants then they show buds beside fucking lighters .

you do not see many grows where they use strains that grow Donkey diks but small nug og strain

lets be serious here, Yes every light system has its benefits and negatives find out which ones work for you

With Cobs its never talked about as in what it does but what its capable of
its like saying guess what i am capable of becoming the next president does not mean i am going to be

Thumps up to you, brother! Those look nice. was that a sog

3 grows with 400w cxb3590, only the first one turned out ok. had issues within this grow which resulted in loss of yield and density... had some hps grown bud, grown right, dried right and is A grade..

Final current grow, using same setup but going to pump it to 600w and it going to have no issues at all! DWC because i love my DWCs. If these buds don't hurt someone when I peg it at there heads, then it ain't going to cut it.

Hey jackass, you took his false claim and ran with it like a cowardly numbskull. Show me a shred of proof. Otherwise admit you're a POS

Right. It is here. I just explained to both of you why you aren't getting the results you want. Color, for one. Reds don't penetrate well, and 3500k is optimal; warmer colors contain more reds; ideally, you want a bright neutral white, peaking naturally in blues and reds. And your amperage is too low. Mine is optimized the way I need it to be and will work how I said it will.
