Looking good brother, and sorry I'm new around here so no I haven't seen them. Busy with my stuff and following the tales of a couple buddies. Grow looks good.

You have a few options just depends on what you need now that I see this areas of yours I will say the bar style lights will most likely be a better fit.

Something like this:

What these give you is the ability to fine tune more of your lights vs running less learger fixtures.

Tasty makes some nice bar style lights too that people have been happy with:

Check out @GroErr thread to see how he uses multiple bar style COB lights

Anything else just ask.

With the LED build I'm about to do I'm shooting for @40W/sq/ft. I will be setting up a 3x3 for veg too but not with that many plants lol........and I will have another for flower.............

so if you go by my math40x9=360.

I'm building 4 COB lights cranking out @300-320W each we will see on the Kill-A-Watt when they're build. But the plan is to push my COB's to about 80w each.

If you bought two of these:

That should rock your veg area. He now has a "vegetative" option in the drop down menu, and they have dimmers.

Brother, you just asked me for an LED light and told me you want to rock the house on 35 plants and that budget was no concern. So I answered what you asked. I agree with you on the 400 MH, But before that I'd run a 315 CMH too with the Phillips veg bulb that like $75 and kill it there as well.

You want monsters with LED and DON'T want to DIY then it's gonna cost $$ up front.

The light I'm building is to run against a 600wMH to see if it's worth it I wasn't going to pay that much either. Don't get all pissed when I answer your question though. You say no budget then jump at pricing lol.......WTF man....... :bigjoint:

First of all a cx bar is4' long and won't fit in his 3x3 & secondly those are typically 3500*K so not ideal for veg. I'd say buy a kit from timbergrowlights.com and check choose 5000 or 6500*K chips and get yourself goin.

Just making sure man sorry I'm like four blunts into the night so I guess I read into your response too much it's all good and we're on the same page.

Above the box where you type there's a bunch of little buttons/tabs that you can click on starting with the B for Bold lettering on the left. Follow along to your right and you will see a smiley face. When you click that it will show you at the smileys you can pick from on the bottom of the box you type in.

Keep the 400 MH, or go with a 315 CMH just for veg. (:
