Goddamnit.....lol Than you. Maybe I can save a little here.

Im wondering if I should go with the sst120 or sst140. I'm going to be running my cxb3590's at 1.05ma, but would like to have some wiggle room I case I decide to upgrade drivers some day to 1.4ma. I think I'm leaving toward the sst140 and I'm just curious to see what others have to say. I'm...

Uh, the math is really easy for per light. Crop weight divided by number of lights. It's an average in that scenario. Still the same thing.

That's a good question. Fortunately it's not to hard, and a lot cheaper, to source everything yourself. I was going to do 8 or 12 at 1400ma originally, but the more research I did, and the more questions I asked, I found that I can get the same light coverage and use a lot less electricity...

In getting ready to run 12 in at 4x3 at 1050ma. I'll be over 1000 ppfd with this setup, and it should also work well for a 4x4. It also pulls about 80 watts less than 10 3590's running at 1400ma.

Awesome, i'll check it out. Your bushes inspired my to go 1 per sq ft @1050ma. lol. I run a perpetual grow, so it's hard to get a gpw # on my current setup ( i run a blockhead pheno of Agent Orange). But i pulled a bush the other night that should come out to around 90g dry. I could probably...

Thanks breaking that down. I've known all along I'll need at least two drivers. That's the reason running 10 or 12 @1050 seems most appealing. I can run two hlg-185h-c1050, or two hlg-240h-c1050 and be very close to, or at, the 1 Cob per sq ft number and do it all with roughly the same...

Thanks for the input. I'm keeping my options open still as I haven't placed my order. With my space, running them at 700ma, wouldn't I need 16 to get over 800 ppfd? I like the numbers I'm seeing with 10 at 1050, and I think the light spread will be easier to control with 12 Cob's, so I'm looking...

Thank you again. Appreciate the advice on adding a dimmer. Thinking I may need it with this much light in my space. Can anyone tell me what ppfd would be with 12 running at 1050 in my 12 sq ft? Or maybe show me how to calculate it. If I was looking at 980 with 10@1050 in my space I'm very...

Thank you. So two mean well hlg-240h-c1050 will drive 12 cxb3590's at ~36w each? Think I know what direction in going. Reflectors?

what drivers would I need to run 12 @ 1050 to get to 1 cob per sq ft? would I still be looking at 35.5w each on the cob's? Honestly hadn't considered 5 @ 1050 being an option because I didn't see ppfd #'s for that combo on Supra's thread. But after being told that's a better ppfd than 4@ 1400...

I'm sure that's the case. But Will it rock hard enough to merit the extra cost and electricity usage vs 8@49 (392 watts) or [email protected] (355 watts)? The ten on two hlg-185-1050's is 250 watts less than I'm running now with likely much better coverage and overall lighting.

Even better. Thank you for the suggestion. That would be running them at 35.5w each, correct? Suggestions for a good spacing with 10 cob's? I'll also do some searches. Thanks!!

Hello all. I'm in final stages of planning my LED build and I had a few questions before I make my purchases. My current space is a 4'x3' box that's about 6'6" tall. I currently run an air cooled 600 hps. I'll be doing the popular 4 cxb3590's at 49w on a mean well driver. My question is whether...

Hoping to find a purple keeper in the Aurora Indica, a dense nug/heavy yielding Afghan Kush keeper, a super purple keeper in the Purple Bud, and a tasty resinous keeper in the Mango. If i even get 1 of those 4 i'll be really happy though.

Wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me input in my search for a keeper 'ghani. Placed my order with Herbies today and decided since i was placing an order to get a few extras while i was at it, 10 Aurora Indica, 10 WOS Afghan Kush, 10 Seedsman Purple Bud (my 5 year old TGA JC2's aren't...

thanks for the info. That's what i figured. Probably should look into a light meter to confirm crazy or just high.

OK, perhaps i should look at some crosses to find the flavor and smell i'm looking for. I dont honestly know what the Afghani that i've had in the past really is, just take it for what ever the guy says it is. So maybe what i remember as afghani is not what an old school affie is. I do know i...

Recently drove through Kansas after a Colorado trip, didn't see a single LEO until at least two hours into KS. Set cruise control at 76 and mind your lane. If i were doing it i would use the cooler suggestion. I wouldnt worry about a light, odds are you will be at your final destination within...

Question about digital ballasts. I've been running a 600w hps digital ballast for about 5 years now, and i'm starting to wonder if i'm still getting the same light output as when the ballast was new. Bulb is an Eye Hortilux 600 hps and it's about 3 months old only running on 12/12. I'm just not...
