Day 57, running 8 3590's COBS
Learned that growing gg#4 along side chaos , is a challenge , pretty happy with results

What size driver are you using with those 8 cobs ? I keep being told I need 32 cobs in a 4x8 grow tent but you have 8 in half of that size and those look great . Do you think that you have enough light or would you want more ? Thanks man

That really depends on how efficient you want the lights. Running one COB per sq/ft of 3590's at 700 ma to 1050 ma is my preferred setup.

I just want to have an awesome setup for my 4x8 gorilla grow tent. I have looked at the mean well 600h 36a it seems that it would run 12 cxb 3950 at 50 watts or 10 at 60 Would that be good ? I've been reading to death on LEDs . There is too much info out there to even pick . I grabbed a meanwell 320h 1400a. That should run 6 3950cxb cobs at 50 watts or 5 at 60 watts. I learned after buying this that it would be no where near enough for even a 4x4 tent much less a 4x8. I've asked in the led threads it just turns into fighting and stuff I don't understand and don't really want to understand . I just want to buy the right stuff that will blast out my 4x8 to the point that I won't be disappointed that I dismantled my old mh/hps .

I think you will need 3 of those $600 timber kits to make it work (300 watt - 6 cob), and 4 kits to make it work good. That's what I was gonna do in a 4x8... I know the less watts the cobs are driven at equals more efficient. Hoping an expert gives an opinion.

Sorry for the thread jacking

Yeah I have to apologize for asking led questions in the chaos thread but there are led masters here :)

Hard to "jack" a thread called "Chaos" ;)~
Very true lol . I just want to order the right stuff. I want to grow my chaos under the best lights possible. It's all way too expensive to guess and there is way too much info out there for the average person like me to figure out. Plus I trust my fellow glove state reps :)

I think I understand.
The captain recommend 700-1050ma (that's 35-52 watts dimmable @ 240v ) and 1 cob per square ft... In our case 32.
