In most of Colorado - HPS last night helped keep most people and their plants from freezing last night. Tonight is no party either. My guess is Michigan and other places are feeling the cold too.

Very true but down here where the sun never stops shining I can see a reason to try something a little cooler which is why i went COB

It's not there yet it's close and prices too high I wouldn't go buy a 4k TV when it came out for upwards of well 4k. I'm gonna wait for it to be perfect and cheaper why not just saw a 60" 4k TV for 700$......that's 2 years after I saw the first one for 4500$ lol I'll wait

I take it there are not currently many if any commercial guys running COBs as a main light source

I never heard of one and only know one company that uses any type of LEDs , in a side room , here in colorado. They are just too expensive right now. I know a place that tried LEDs and went right back to HID lights. They ran older blurples from advanced LED. Replaced them after one run with 1000w hps in parabolic reflectors and then moved to gavitas .

Not to go off track but the average Joe may not have 10 or 12 foot ceilings that you may need with Gavitas. I know you can dim em down.

I have lower and may try some Nanolux DE which are similar with a Light Rail 3.5. I think some guys in Cali are using LED like Fluence.

The ideal would be HPS for winter like last night and tonight and LED COBs for summer. :wink:
 
I know its not a huge grow but for instance growmau5 running 32-3590s underdriven at 700ma pulling over 3lb in a 4x8 doesnt that seem promising for only 850w? asking out of curiousity not trying to prove any points or anything. stuff like that is what got me interested in COBs

Strain dependent? Running all same strain? I wish I could run all same but variety and the "new" flavor is what everyone wants

And also cost for setting up that space just lights?

Why tho most of the world can't afford other approaches I mean lets be honest the same room I set up for 3k fully with co2 4k watts hoods fans panda pots tupur etc.....to do led I'd have to spend a shit ton more that I don't have and most people don't have. It's close to double the cost it would be for a whole hps room sure you save on electric but not too much if you're truly trying to outperform hps or gavitas

Yeah. Let's be HONEST.
