No sorry I'm lazy and just bought the 3590's pre-built. I'm using several bars from Tasty LED, more costly but I don't have the tools or time for builds. I've built some and modified some Chinese fixtures with 3070 COBs in the past but it's been a couple of years and many changes since that build.
Will do. I also just got 5 3590 cobs to add to my light collection lol u impressed with them so far. By your pics I certainly am.Cheers Growrock, pleased with this run. This run gave me confidence that the 3590 COBs are up to the task, every pheno/strain has rock hard buds
The Blue Ripper and crosses with it in there have at least one lower branch back-crossed to the F1 male that produced them. I may have some unused Xmas cards available in a couple of weeks(PM)
what nut Line you running?
Look up growmouse I believe I just finished a timber 5 3590 cob self made x pattern use 1/8" minimum aluminum channel and leave approx 12" to 16" spacing for each cob
You'll like those, get them dialed into your space and they'll produce well. What first impressed me after the initial runs was the quality is beyond anything I've grown. Even the JTR that's just finishing up is louder than it's ever been and I've run it for 3 1/2 years. Awesome frosty, sticky buds and loud terps. But in addition to the quality bump, they're out-producing my CMH as well, nice.Will do. I also just got 5 3590 cobs to add to my light collection lol u impressed with them so far. By your pics I certainly am.
Very nice...Just finishing up the front 1/2 of the room over the next few days in staggered harvests. ~3x8' total under 3590 COBs. 1st bud is Day 80, middle are Day 65, last 2 are at Day 47 and will run ~ another 2 weeks.
Buds left to right are:
Blue Ripper (Blueberry x JTR) x Blue Dream F1/P2, HSO Blue Dream, Jack The Ripper, Blue Ripper F2/P3, Plemon, Blue Ripper F2/P5, and Blue Ripper x Harlequin F1/P1 (1st keeper of this cross).

Ya I'm back to an but I'm using the iguana juice bloom and Mother Earth orgainic tea and calmag due to ro water. I use 2ml of each per litre every second watering. I was using gh floranova but once they sold there souls to monsteto I quit buying from them
Cheers WHATFG, Santa is going to have some potent cookies this year
Yeah I hear you, I'll find another option soon and I'd prefer to go the salts route when I change. Takes a while and effort to dial nutes in, don't want to mess with it until I have fully tested an alternate. I like Monsanto as much as LP's so there's good incentive to drop AN.
What an is owned by Monsanto too......
Internet rumours only, never seen anything to verify that, likely more of a hater rumour, they tend to attract a lot of haters. According to their official line Big Mike is the sole owner now and distanced himself from the partner that was allegedly a diddler in 2013 once that story came out. Lot of drama there. My biggest driver is cleaner nutes and lower cost, anything will grow these weeds in a pinch. Right now cost isn't a big factor for me but I'll retire in the next few years and I want to reduce my costs as much as possible to maintain a decent size garden and get deeper into breeding.
Keep me posted about what ya come up with for nutes. And I wil be awaiting that extra Christmas card lol peace and if ya pm me I have like 5 seeds left of a nice cross I did of some sweet island skunk by purple afghan sorrry no pics I lost them with my old phone lol. But she grows med tall and finishes in 9-10 weeks last three weeks 1 of the two phenos likes to turn purple.
COB's are awesome (CXB3590). I did the first build myself buying from cutter/USA heat sinks (800watts). I just purchased an additional 1000 watts from Timber Grow lights, everything is plug and play. Talk to Dan, since it was a decent size order and he shipped to Canada for free and also gave me a discount. 1800 watts will cover my 7ft x 7 ft flower room area. It basically cost 2.40-2.50 $/watt/cdn funds delivered from Timber. Dan will also customize your order, different spectrums and longer leads from the drivers. Timber does advertise on this site. 35-40 watts/sq ft, approx 1000 ppfd. With the current Ontario electricity costs COB are the way to go.
Yeah will do, early into next year I'll be trying them out. Will pm regarding the seeds. I had a nagging feeling there were changes coming that could screw with genetics/seeds and that recent announcement by the feds confirmed it's going to get more difficult to import seeds. In July/August of this year I bought up a ton of landrace, IBL's, and F10+ genetics to breed with. Between that and the few crosses I'm already running I'm thinking I'll have enough crosses and DIY seeds to last me a lifetime, literally
Hey thanks for the offer but I'd like to try something easily and consistently attainable locally. The Jack's Citrus worked well right through but I found in veg indoor I needed more cal-mag (even using tap water) and I'm looking for super simple, one mix and no additives. Hoping one of the blends from PlantProd does the trick. That's one of the main reasons I've stuck with AN so long, A+B+water is all I need, with limited garden time it's a big deal for me. If I get an hour a day in the garden during lights on I'm lucky,
That's the reason i am buying it, one mix and super simple. How long do you think 25 lbs of salts last for flower only? years i would think. With shipping it will cost about $130.00 cdn for 25lbs. I will be doing some side by side comparisons shortly so we will let you know. Which plant products were you looking at ? i just looked at a few but there was no cal/mag or sulfur.
How long are they good for, any idea how they break down over time? Yeah 25 lbs. would last for years. To give you an idea, the small Citrus container I tried for veg is 1lb. and lasted me 6 months.
Good question on shelf life, I would think it would be years since it is a salt. $130.00 for years of flowering would be outstanding. I will find out from the vendor and let you know. I will do some more searching on the plant prod website also, thanks for the info.
I work in a commercial greenhouse for my day job, I deal with plant product reps almost every week, I happen to know the shelf life is indefinitely. It will last. I have 2 big bags of that stuff right now in my garage. I have not tried it on Cannabis yet but plan to in the near future. Just keep it stored in a cool dry place it will last until you use it all, it stays stable.
