Greetings from Argentina to everyone! glad to show some pics of the almost finished setup , 4 Vero 29 gen 7C 3000k, 90cri, BXRC-30G10K0-C-73-SE, mounted on CPU heatsinks, with a MW HLG-240H-c700A. Maybe is not the best setup, but is the best thing i can get without paying to much costs of shipping or custom taxes, in future going to run the vero's with another driver, like a 1.05a model or 1,4, and buy some EB strips or Samsung H series strips to run with the C700a
The size of the grow tent is 0.60m x 0.60m x 1.20 m, the leds are 0.50m above from canopy, now i am running them at 700ma, i have to make some maths , maybe the 190w-200w is overkill for this grow space.
i am very scared that any of the active cooling piece fails, so looking for passive cooling now, an alimunium strip or something like that, here i cant get any of those passive heatsinks so i have to design one :/






The ladys under the led's are a mix, x2 auto bwxww in 10l pot , a blueberry cut, 1 jack 47 fast version and big devil fast version from Sweet Seeds, 1 critical mass cbd, and 3 reg superlemonhaze x jackherer

ANY advice would be appreciated, since i am on a budget this is mounted very poor i think, have to make some improvements
Cya!

It's a ton of light for a 60x60cm tent and very nice efficiency. It looks like the sink/fans are used. Might be good to replace the fans at some point or go passive. You may want to add a vent fan if you don't have one. I do see you're using the wrong wire gauge with the wire connectors and there's some exposed wire very close to the heat sinks. I would replace it with 18 or 20 gauge solid.

If it works. It ain't broke. Unless the cooling is insufficient.

Here's my two cob 3500k variant of your setup. The pin fin sinks are the 14cm version. Rated at 100w passively.

Indeed they are used got them from my work, so for now i Will use them until i can buy some new fans or go passive.
I bought 1.5mm cable and did not fit, so just cut some hairs and did fit, anyway going to change It today for 1mm cable wich is closer to 18awg(1.1mm)
