I mounted mine off the surface with standoffs, there made to handle the heat I'm guessing.
What does that men exactly? How does one blow a T-5 out of the water in veg?They will blow those T5s out of the water trust me.
Better light quality better plant. My T5 keeps the top part just fine but the QBs keep the whole plant healthy from top to bottom.What does that men exactly? How does one blow a T-5 out of the water in veg?
Oh ok. So your T-5's in your garden only keep the top of your plants healthy?Better light quality better plant. My T5 keeps the top part just fine but the QBs keep the whole plant healthy from top to bottom.
Yea i get it. I hate my T-5's but only due to changing out bulbs all the time. Totally in love with the growth aspects. Can you show us what you mean by stacked? I assume you mean very close internode spacing, would love to see it. Very cool lights you guys got going on there.For clones and seedlings there fine but for veg they just make the plants too spindly and thin vs lush and stacked. At least that's been my observation so far.
Thinner? Longer? Please share the new size...inquiring minds want to know!Limited 4000K and 5000K will be available in 2-3 weeks.
We are designing thinner longer boards. No plans a 3x3 board . will think about it. any reason why a big board like that.
Narrow and longer boards. 3-4 inches wide 24 inches long. Still In Design phase and will take 2 months.Thinner? Longer? Please share the new size...inquiring minds want to know!
I think a good model might be selling based on setup. If i went to your website and saw, a dyi board listed for a 4x4 grow tent with companion driver (maybe some wago connectors), i would be all over it. Then you could add setups for leafy greens. So a 6500k (or something) board with a lower wattage driver at sizes for specific spaces.Narrow and longer boards. 3-4 inches wide 24 inches long. Still In Design phase and will take 2 months.
@muleface suggested 3x3 boards.
Don't know what batman is using.

Feel free to throw any suggestions.
They are samsung leds, they seem good. The more i look at the cobs, the less i think it really matters on brand. Cree, Vero, Citizen, other good quality name brand. I think color, wattage and coverage should be of more concern. But again, i don't really care about efficiency. Perhaps if I had a huge setup that would be more of a factor.Are these boards as good as Cree, Vero and Citizen? I am asking because I want to replace all my 1000 watts hps lights with cobs but it looks like that with this board is cheaper to do it. Thanks in advance
Awesome man! This is gonna be fun. My first sog too, so we can see some penetration down low even though I'll be flipping them fairly short. Nice clean build once again! You are a master of your craft. Thanks again broski!@NapalmD You ready melt down your 2x2.5 with Quantum Blaster 390 Watts. Serious radiation May the dimmer have mercy on your plants.
This will be more than enough for your next 3x3 grow too.
Weight 3.6 lbs per bar so 3.6 *2

I believe 700-800 will replace a DE hps and 600-650 will replace a SE hps, I use more than one 1k light, I don't use tent to grow and not I don't over skill my space with lights.They are samsung leds, they seem good.

As far as a 1kw light replacement, i would guess pushing 700-800 watts through maybe 6 panels might be about the same. But again, this is all just from what i have read. I think mileage will differ depending on your setup. If you are filling a grow tent then you could do less, if you are in an open space, you would need more. Or maybe your 1kw light is way over kill for your space and you really only need 400 watts from the boards.
what is your grow area look like?
How many of this board do I need to replicate a1000 watts hps? What would be the parts to use in different combinations? Thanks
I guess one of these would fit into a cool tube wouldn't it?Narrow and longer boards. 3-4 inches wide 24 inches long. Still In Design phase and will take 2 months.
