I want the great DIY ones. How many man hours to build? Give or take. Full blast ones. I don't mind buying an a/c if needed.
35 minutes.........J/K depends on a few factors, are you gonna use cob holders or adhesive thermal paste or are you gonna use a big heat sink or a bunch of small ones. I made 2 panel in a course of a day with drilling and tapping. I'm much faster now and I have my design down the longest time will be drilling holes if you choose the cob holder route.

I found the DIY to be very straight forward and simple , especially using the cob holders, no soldering required , using crimp connections ect., I am friends with a guy on here who used the thermal glue, he saved a boat load of time!!!,

Do some research. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. The distance the light is kept from the canopy is entirely based on the design of the particular lamp. A vero 29 or cxb3590 will have to be kept far away from the canopy because they're too bright. They will burn the canopy with radiant heat. I design my lamps to have less clearance on purpose. That's why I use vero 18 and cxb2530. They can be spread out better and put closer to the canopy without frying it.

You have this false idea that LED light is weak, but a vero 29 puts out a ton of radiant intensity, especially at higher currents. We're talking high enough to burn ants.
Let's see your pics where a led equivalent to my hps 1ks can put out 2.5 pounds. I don't care about light show me the nugs. Then show me the quality of a full pound turkey bag. Then I'll listen to your bullshit. But even then, I won't. Cost me upwards of 80 grand a year to run without the headaches of led . I know growers that are too cheap to buy industrial dehus or mini splits, because they simply don't give a fuck. And that's where you really save on electricity. But when your on phase3 power, who cares anyways? I run a business , I don't play with lights . Your arguing with the wrong dude. If I grew in a closet I would be all about fucking with leds and kook diy bullshit . But I'm about quality and pounds vs investment.

Aren't you in MI that state still has to get use to the fact you can grow medical I'm in Cali and I'm allowed 150 plants and 12lbs dried flower and led kicks the dog shit out of hps at least the Cree CXA and CXB's are I haven't tried Vero yet lol

You've already been spoon fed the answers to all these questions. Shutup.. lol

If you scale up the "failure" i had with vero 29, that's 2.2lb yield for 1k worth of it. The grow I did not measure yielded significantly more. I'm not here to spoon feed you. I don't give a flying fuck if you use LED or HPS. You can do whatever the fuck you want.

You still use turkey bags? I only use turkey bags to transport not store

Let see some pics. All I hear is talk I've shown proof shut me up or I'll keep going at you.
I don't post pics on here anymore. If you want to dig I did a 4k grow and a 5200watt grow on here . Both are well over 2 pounds per light. Now I do the same but with OGs

Only idiots brag about their status in a cartel. I don't care how many plants you grow. I can't wait till it's legal here so I can put your ass out of business myself. I have more tricks up my sleeves than just lamps.
I grow as many as my doctor says is ok. Lol cartels wtf

Lies all lies what afraid of? Are you a kid playing with the big boys? Does your mommy know? You must be over plant count 2 lbs per light with og means one of two things. 1 it's not real og 2 you must be over the limit bottom line you can fool the newbies on here but not me. The only person you are lying to is yourself and that's what I tell my 24yr old son when he tries to lie to me.
