@this point im doing only 100 watts total, 12 inches from the plants...25per cob and thinking to go with 50 watts per square foot in flower since another led brother on here had great success with that kind of setup!

hey Salah, how things going for ya? You get those heatsink fans hooked up? Ive been blasting them with the watts. 75 watts each cob, so im running around 300 watts, and getting my flowers with 700 PAR. Did you get a lux meter yet by any chance? easier to adjust the light with it. You going to want to be at 12inches ( 450ish PAR)or so for veg, and 10 inches for flower. (600 PAR ) any closer then that, your PAR is going to fall off fast because of the distance.

Still same heatsinks since im only running 25 per cob @ this point!

Down the road im just getting bigger heatsinks, so no extra wiring, fans and all that stuff in the future you know!

i actually got the reflectors for my set-up and got a major boost in PAR. this is 20 days since the pic above when i scrogged it. I took the scrog out 2 days ago because it took up alot of room i needed. These are getting about 700 par across the entire canopy. dont rob yourself of photons bro, hit them with all ya got, just raise the light, and then lower to 16-18 inches for flower. day51-day23flower-Sun1.png
