Sounds good. I should have some room so Im not TOO worried about stretch from it unless it gets a lil crazy. If theres too much stretch just shorten the time the far red is on ?

Awesome ! And then so would I run the 730 the whole time lights are on during flower or just at the end of the cycle for a few minutes ?

Yah Ive read through a lot of his threads and posts, have recieved ungodly amounts of info from him and others. Definately leaning towards 2 ft Reptisuns as Im having trouble finding the AgroMax PowerVeg+ bulbs rn. So probably no UV diodes, the Reptisun or AgroMax PowerVeg(if I can find)...

Thats kinda why I was leaning toward adding some in DIY, I thought the 840 sounded a little unnecessary and Id be able to do it cheaper and more how I want it. Do you think if I did 9 UV diodes, and 9 730nm Far Reds, so 1 over every sq ft would be enough ?

For whatever reason Im having trouble finding the AgroMax PowerVeg+ bulbs in stock all of a sudden and keep getting directed to Hotilux's similar bulb. Would 2 or those be my best bet or go with the 2ft Reptisun reptile bulb ? Or keep searching for the PowerVeg + ? And then on kind of a side...

Ive been interested in adding UV to my grow setup as Im currently running 3000k 90 CRI COBs and am not getting much blue or uv during flowering and would like the benefits of increased potency and terpenes. What would be the best way of adding UV light to a 3x3 tent ? Ive mostly seen mentions of...

Hey guys, so Im looking into getting some supplemental lighting to add to my set up and had some questions. Im looking at both the Exotic Supplement board and Emerson board from RapidLED. Considering doing a DIY supplement light though as Im not sure the benefits of the IR spectrum that comes...

Ill definitely search that up, thanks !

After considering everyones suggestions and spending a few more hours browsing others posts and weighing my options, I think Im going to run them bare, and have them as close as a I can get to my plants without bleaching (6 to 14in ?). I may at somepoint down the road get some 120d lenses for...

Thats kinda what I was thinking, and was my main reasoning for wanting to go with 9 in the 3x3 instead of the tried and true 6 COBs in the 3x3. Thank you everyone for your input, it has helped me greatly. I guess I have 1 last question since I trust your guys opinions, I had my mind pretty set...

Would there still be a hot spot with bare COBs ? Im wanting whatever would give me the most useable and evenly spread light, regardless of COB lifespan (although I prefer the look of the setup better with lenses). I figure if I can get 2 - 3 years out of these COBs I'll have gotten my moneys...

Oh wow. I never even considered just cleaning the COB with iso. Thats a game changer, I think you just sold me on bare.

I have 6 feet of height in the tent so I should be able to hang my lights at whatever height. Thats one of the main reasons I was leaning towards the lens, was for COB protection. Is that the only major benefit of a lens over a reflector ? I see theres also the LEDIL reflectors that come with...

So Im getting the last few details together on my 3x3 setup and was wondering peoples opinion on whether they'd leave the COBs bare, use the LEDIL reflector, or use the LEDIL reflector ? I know a lot of people lean towards the reflector, which works perfect for 6 COBs in a 3x3, however Im...

I am also trying find this out myself. You are talking about the newish LEDIL Silicon Lens ? I have 9 cobs running in a 3x3 grow tent with reflective walls, running 1 COB per sq ft, would I benefit from either the lens or reflector, or just leave all 9 bare with the spread ?

Ok. Thank you everyone. Ill be doing all 3000k 90 CRI for flowering. Would there be any benefit from setting up a veg room with 4000k 90 CRIs and/or 3500k 80 CRIs ?

Ok, I was a little worried about that. Whats your opinion on the 2700k's ? Would you do 4 of those and 5 3000k's for flower ? Or still all 3000k's ?

Hey guys, so Im looking to build my first DIY COB set up and I wondering if I should try and run 9 COBs or 6 COBs ? My plan was to run 9 to have 1 light every sq ft but Im having trouble finding a driver that would run all 9 COBs in series. Would I be better off doing 5 COBs on 1 driver, and 4...
