My $0.02.just bought 2 100 watt 2 cob go green led's using citizen clu048 chips.. 4000k, i know a 3000k-3500k is optimal for bloom.. i will be running the 2 4000k citizens along with 2 315 watt cmh lamps at 3100k.. i have a 4ftx6ft table,,i think running 2 315's and 2 100 watt citizens should be great coverage will the 3100k and 4000k create a balanced spectrum?
would u guys think running 3 315 watt cmh lamps over the 4x6 table would be better? or will the mix of 2 cmh and 2 100 watt cobs cover just as well and save me on wattage? 3 315=945 watts, 2 315's +2 100 watt citizens=830watt total...thoughts?
has anyone actually done some runs with the 100 watt citizen cobs from go green,,id like to hear how anyone has had results with the citizenclu048 4000k led's????
First off I believe you picked the right spectrum for the citi's it has as much red as the 3500K but more blue. The citi's spectrums are not the same as cree on a per Kelvin basis people find this out when they start looking at the charts.
Number two. I do not think you can go wrong either way using the combo of cmh and COB's or just straight COB's. I think for now run with the combo you have you can always add more light later. But (3) 315's would definitely kill it in that space. I would not mess with the spectrum on the citi's any further if it was me and just stick to the 4K.
@Tim Fox Just built his 4K Citi 1812 light and hung it up yesterday and his plants are loving it. He took down an old build with Cree 3070's, we will soon see what the results are but his plants are happy so far.
Good luck!
