Northern Grow Lights TITAN w/ SST-X and Vero Gen7 72v 90 CRI Grow

So I've just built my own Canadian version of your model.

Well assembled in Canada

I'm running 4x CLU058-3500k.

Are you having any heat issues? My tent jumped to 86 overnight.

Thinking there will be a sweet spot for heat and output.

Thanks
Can you tell me what components and sources for them you used in your setup? I'm in Ontario and trying to build a similar system but having a hard time choosing where to order from factoring in shipping, duties and availability.
 
Thanks, this seems like the best option for me in Canada. I actually just sent an email through your site inquiring about shipping the SSTX to Canada.
Can you tell me what the difference would be in using the HLG-185H or 240H? They are both available through Mouser in Canada, though a bit pricey.

Also is 4 of these at Vero29 3000k good for a Veg/Flower 3x3 Tent, or would I want 3500k or multiples of mixed spectrum.

Day 23
These girls are blowing up and stacking hard! I think someone's been sneaking in at night and injecting testosterone into the pots.
I also think I made a boo boo and they are all Golden Lemons which isn't a bad thing but I was looking forward to more of that Underdog.

Might bump up to 300w at week 4 or 5.
They can get nice and close right now and the buds closest to the COBS are already getting frosty and super sticky so there's definitely a benefit to running them close to canopy but it becomes a challenge when the wattage goes up.
Gotta find that sweet spot. That's why I'm really looking forward to get my Quantum boards so I can have that spread and dimmable power at my disposal.

I will also crank it to the max at some point to see how well the SSTX can handle 110w per cob. I cranked it to 420w for a few minutes the other day and they barely felt much warmer than they are at 250w which is a good sign but I want to give it a couple of hours next time.
I think high power cobs at 100w+ will become the standard in high bay fixtures for commercial use. Couple that with passive cooling and it's a win for commercial indoor.

Day 30
Girls are nice and greasy and bulking up.
I think I'm gonna crank it up to 350w on day 40 for 10 days. Will also start adding a tbls of Herculean Harvest to each gallon of 321.5 and Ful-power on day 40 as well.
I want to take these down on day 60 or a few days earlier depending on how they're lookin.

Day 37
Merry Christmas everybody!
Moved the girls and the Titan into my CXA tent which is a little taller.
Cranked it up to 350w and they're loving it so far. Had a little root problem arise from over watering but they're powering through.
Will water lightly the next few feedings and also start adding 1tbls of Herculean Harvest to the 321.5 and Tbsl of Ful-power from now till chop, will also add some Root pack and Nute pack from Og Biowar the next watering to help the roots along.

Day 44
Much to my surprise and delight, that's two Underdogs in the back and a Golden Lemons up front. I thought it was other way around.
So far this cut of the UD is one of the best smokes I've grown to date. Not the biggest yielder but has it all, potency, taste, smell and looks. Trimming wasn't that bad either.
I cut the lights at day 64 last run with these, shooting for day 57 with them now. Wanna find that sweet spot.
These are known for going 70 to reach their peak but they just look done earlier and earlier.
Been on 350w and everything's been running nice and cool. These Veros rock!
