Give you an idea here of what i'll be using for the base of the DIY project.

Thinking of maybe strapping four of these units together. However, i still can't decide on whether or not i want to use the 3w diodes in conjunction with the cobs. Give me some feedback on what you think about that spectral info i posted a while back. That will help me decide.

lets use some 3Watters too! for sure!!

also, why 5000K vs 3000K?

and why 660nm instead of 675nm? i see the peak is at 666nm

and how much more would it cost to have the 4 types of lights, vs just the 3

bare with me here, bro. just asking a Don what Gwan

Well from what i understand the 5000k operate more efficiently, thus producing more lumens per watt. If you remember, the Sour Diesel i ran in the cab was grown under 75% 5000k-6500k with 2700k making up 25% of the spectrum. I also only had the 2700k on the one side, further reducing the effectiveness. Therefore i was considering the 5000k along with the 660nm reds to create a full-term veg to harvest light.

MANNNN!! MAY AS WELL HAVE! I DID LIKE 6 TRANSPLANTS, and was liberal with the myco.. did it in the room that had several fans, i must have inhaled a bunch of it. I'm eating raw coconut oil by the spoonful, and dabbling in herbal teas, i can't even blaze or swallow, y'all use a mask when playin wit myco?

Not sure how i feel about the whole spectrum thing. I feel its still very much up for debate.
Here is the spectral chart for the Vero 18 cob:

Compared to the Eye Blue metal halide which many swear by for flowering:

I feel that using lots of blue supplemented with reds may be the way to go.
Consider if you will this graph in relation to the two above:

Its quite an interesting subject. Look forward to hearing from you on this. Maybe some others can chime in as well.

w/ all due respect, mon, I still don't see why we shouldn't be using deep reds AND far reds. from my understanding they should take over during flower about halfway and let the deep reds fade. far reds also help initiate flowering faster, according to Rosenthal. what u think?

Far reds also induce stretch. Especially in a warm environment.

what happened bro? with your myco experience.. and what'd you do to rid it? I'm drooling like a nut head, and spitting up yellow phlegm

My experience was actually from the perlite. Fucked my lungs right up. Got infected and i needed meds and still use an inhaler from time to time.

@DonPetro said "Far reds also induce stretch. Especially in a warm environment."
Hence the delay...If we implement at the half way point of flowering the plants are done stretching.

Also, temps are lower for the next ohhhh 7 months, doubt i even need AC til June, if ever again. bigger tent and more efficient heat sink led's = better temps

Also bro another thing to consider is whether the heatsinks with the 3w 20mm stars is will be actively or passively cooled. Passive=less wiring and lower cost. Also, i havent come across a source for any far reds in my searching. Could be cuz i wasnt really looking though. This first build im looking to keep fairly simple but if you want to fund a bigger project then i'm open to that too. Electrical skills and knowledge pretty limited though.
