looks great its guna be a monster! 2 months veg!!!
id have turnedthe lights up full blast sooner and good to see the net, with leds u need to keep the canopy as level as possible you dont have the penetration of HID light so if you get a few branches stickin up (supercrop) bend then down flat to the canopy again.
scrog and supercropping are the most important training techs i think!
Thanks! I am interested to see how big she gets. I have seen a couple other blackberrys that are way tall so I am not sure how this is going to go. So far it has been so short and bushy I am not expecting a huge stretch but we will see.
Love how you're going with this, qurious to see how she stretches.
Whats the max wattage those cobs can run in this setup? how come you didn't go with 5 ?
I'm contemplating a 5x3590 setup but with the 240-1400 driver. Just learning up on Leds and it seems ..inefficient? (compared to HID) to go under 50% efficiency on the Leds. Cheers
Thanks!
Whats the max wattage those cobs can run in this setup? When I have them turned all the way up the idevice shows ~330W at the wall.
How come you didn't go with 5? Honestly this setup just hit my price/watt sweet spot at the time I was putting everything together. When I drew it out in my head it seemed like 4 would provide good coverage for the 3x3 space and adding one more was a bit of a premium. I was also concerned about a hot spot in the middle. (probably just what I told myself to keep the wallet from flattening
) I think 5 would be great in the 3x3 space but I am very happy with the performance of this kit thus far.
Efficiency does seem to be king when you get into the fine details of building an LED setup. I honestly only went so far with the calculations though, I was more concerned with the advantages of LED (heat, size, power draw ...) total wattage and cost. I honestly don't know how much difference it makes to the end result of the plant running at 35% vs 50% efficiency etc. I'm also increasing the wattage gradually so efficiency has been higher with it dialed down. I'd focus more on getting enough lights to cover your area and then total W per square foot. You can decide how to best maximize efficiency at that point but I wouldn't focus on it as hard as the rest. Unless you are trying to get every last ounce of performance possible I am not sure how much it matters. (there are several LED nerds here that know way more than I do though, they may have more evidence to present a case for efficiency as it relates to tangible plant growth)
Should not be a problem, just all unknown at this point. 
It does not look unhealthy but only shot up a few inches over the last couple weeks. I reached out in the scrog thread and it seems like I should have had the net up before switching to flower, so I put it in about 12 inches from the soil. It has a lot of buds forming so that is good, just kind of worried that it did not stretch much...
