Ttystikk's vertical goodness

[ttystikk]

Hey bro, I have a couple questions I hope you can help out with. Just trying to get my head around the cob and I think I'm there.

If your using that driver to run 4, does that mean you are supplying 50w to each cob, but the output of the led is roughly 150w?

Second question, how many cobs would I need to flower out a 4x4 wall. Thinking of doing the side/back walls of my tent and make some sort of u shaped frame, that hangs vert and have cobs running down them.

I'm thinking you would want two rows per side?

Hope that makes sense

4 COB chips x 50W each = 200W. In practice each chip is getting a bit more because B series driver with capped dooming leads, plus driver loses = 225W from the wall.

IF you were to use this same combination, you'd do fine with two on a 4x4. I sized mine for 2x3' of canopy per module and they're all but too strong.

the idea is to run softer to save power & when you compare ratios . the LED puts out more light at the lower rate than the LED does when at full power
ie; you could run at full power but y'd be wasting power with less light to more heat ratios

While this is true, it generally isn't necessary or desirable to take this to extremes, because the incremental cost of more chips takes a long time to pay back in increased efficiency.

Just putting it in it's simplest terms , that i could grasp when i was a led noob
I run @ 1400 like you do even gonna run 72 volt with that same meanwell u use
I myself was confused at 1st about the rated high watt# vs what wattage they are actually running the cobs at

Cheers bro. That makes sense. Did you mean two cob lights per 4x4 wall or 2 x 4 cobs. So 8 all up?

Two of my modules per 4 x 4, that's a total of 8 chips, two drivers and a beer...

In a tree.

I hope this isn't golf, my score would suck.

I'd rather be the Happy Gilmore of dank-ass nugs.

Not dank ass-nugs, dank-ass nugs. Punctuation is important.

Ha ha ha, LMAO. I'm amazed that people get more offended at punctuation, grammar, and words even before they get offended at being fucked

Words are words, of course, but I wasn't calling anyone out, just observing the power of the lowly hyphen. Ain't a thing I like about getting fucked unless carnally speaking. Don't make me mad, you wouldn't like me when I am mad. Thankfully these days I am pretty fucking chill. Tty and I had this conversation recently, in fact, haha.

Yes we did. We agreed that remaining calm in this crazy fucked up world is very challenging, but most of the time it's worth the effort.

And the rest of the time it's better than having to hide the body...

The true key to enjoying life is getting to the stage of inner peace and realizing that certain constants in the universe are unalterable.
No situation is made better by being angry or upset. Just wasted energy.

My inner peace has been destroyed lately by someone telling me if I dont pay rent me and my family will be homeless. I agree being angry or upset doesnt help fuckall

Hm, sometimes being angry and/or upset can help drive the British Empire out of your home country after years of Imperial rule. So I don't think that's universally true, but I do take your meaning and agree, with limitations.

I find the key to a happy and stress free day is as simple as having the wife take the kids to visit grandma and leaving me home with just the dog and my ganja

Have a buddy who just flew to Florida with 21 grams in his carry on. Orlando is decriminalized 21g and under is a ticket so he said fuck it and got no grief. Not first time I've heard of people flying from legal to atleast decriminalized with no issues at all lol he sent me thisView attachment 3763955

Plus organic matter does not show up as anything on those X-ray's.

Unless they pulled it out for random bag search, they didn't even know it was there.

I got pulled outta line when they seen 5 oz of Tea in 5 different bags on that 'xray'
, TSA called over the local cops to watch the opening of my bag

 

[schuylaar]

They wont prosecute what they cant win.....Times are changing

Even if the airport is not in a weed friendly place, you may get no more than a ticket.

From what I understand it's a pain in the ass to arrest someone for even a few zips.

It's something about TSA and local law enforcement interaction.
