DIY Citizen Cob LED grow

[Blue Raspberry]

220 is the power IN. That has nothing to do with what the driver can push. 220 is much more efficient than 110. So cost to run decreases on 220 rather than 110. But to power cobs, Look at the specs of the driver, the forward voltage max to be precise. Then look at what those chips draw. If they are 50v chips, the 240-1400A only has a total voltage output of 179 volts. So divide 179 by the voltage per chip (50), and thatll give u 3 u can run off the one single driver. That goes for any other driver and chip as well. Same concept applies. Basic stuff bro. Read read read.

Thats what i thought just wanted to make sure. I imagine you hook both hot wires on a 220 setup to the ACL and ACN lines and ground to ground?

I put a plug on mine. Made it easier. But in theory, what u said would be correct. If u straight wired it.
Update on the garden, the sour kush clone i was given will be nect to chop. Unfortunately, i dont think im keeping this strain around. She just isnt produving the buds i want. They are sticky, sweet smelling, dense popcorns. And i don't want popcorny nugs. Not when i can run the same strain (headband)d albeit a different cut, but get stacked, popcan size nugs. So shes gone after this run. Will post lab results as well once shes done curing up and gets sent out. Shes still got about a week or 2. Incredible bulk will be shortly after if not along side the sour kush. Shes got maybe another 3 weeks if she makes it that far. Were looking at like week 6 right now. Pics will be later today after work.

Okie diddly doke rollituppers. Weve got maybe another week or so left befire harvest on both these giant beauties. Incredible bulk pushing 7 weeks. Showing some good leaching and shade leaves are dying off. Trichs are sitting cloudy as fuck with some decent amber but hairs arent fully receded so i know she can thicken up some more this coming last week. Theres one monster cola bigger than the rest in the back right corner of the full canopy picture. Hard to see but if u zoom clear as day. That top is double if not triple the size of all the rest at the same height. Shes a beaut. Sitting under about 1000w at the wall between 16 cobs and 2 red led par38 100w equivalent bloom boosters. Im testing a theory with those reds. Running only at night lights off for 15 mins and before lights on for 15 mins, as well as extending my daytime hours by 1 hr. So flower room is now running 13.25 ON. I want to see if it shortens the flower time at all. Ive got clones from the incredible bulk and the critical plus 2.0 just starting to flower. I didnt veg them out. Straight from clone to roots in cup to 2 gal pot in flower. Again, another experiment run.

And the sour kush. And as i previously stated before, im not keeping this strain around. Not this cut any way. Shes a spectacular candidate for a hash plant or something as she is super fucking sticky and insane on terps. But nug structure is too sativa for my liking. Not enough bud per branch so im spartan kicking her out of the running for my keeper strains. I am however getting a 9 lb hammer cut at the end of the month. Same mother plant as before. This time im going to try and hit 26%. But back to this plant, going on 8 weeks for her. Trichs are all pretty cloudy, maybe 5% amber, hairs really receding in. Nice fall colors. Dark purples on the leaves but not so much in the buds. Colder temps would help that, but i can only get it to 63 at night (lights off) and 75 during day (lights on). Thats with an older 8000btu ac running constant.

And heres a few shots of my veg closet. These girls have been going for about 5 months now. Maybe a little longer. But around 5. Thats Critical plus 2.0 in the front and bruce banner #3 in the back. Both sitting under this 4 citi1818 4000k running off the hlg320-1400. Bitch is killing it. Cant wait to flower this critical out. The breeder vids are insane.

The lab results I never uploaded...

Yep That's The Object In Question I Run Any Where From 3500k-5000k and They All Have Advantages However My Favorite All A Round Is The 4000k.

Looks like Rodan's head...

Figured out that the nug I mentioned in this post about being bugger than the rest was in fact a rare abnormality or mutation, it's called polyploidism. I didn't get a decent enough picture, but I found one online that looks identical to the one I grew. Shit was crazy.
