Ok guys my first DIY cob build.
4- cree cxb 3590 36V 3000K
140mm pin heat sinks
14" Mod420 frame and northern grow lights j box
Mean well hlg320-2100B driver
Dimmer
Khatod Lenses
Running on 240v now
Would like to thank @robincnn for his help and @Bobby from Mi for the frame
I will be fine tuning a few things still but this will be the first flower run under this light and where the two GG girls will be flowering out.
I can say off the bat this light is running very cool even the driver and it's A LOT quieter than my previously owned COB light which I bought pre fabricated.
I will be building a similar light soon for veg using 4 citizen 1812 5000K 70CRI and a mean well hlg240-C1050B this will be in a 3x3 as well. I want to see how the cxb light compares to MH/HPS and how the veg light with the citi's compares to the 8 bulb T5 running GE 6500K bulbs
Thanks for checking in

Cheers, the indoor girls are rocking it, one of the two Blue Pyramids smells like sweet orange kush
Still working on that outdoor issue, those girls aren't bouncing back after the crush so I'm building them a support structure to lean on. Colas got bent so far down they won't come back up. Only 4 weeks or so to go so I'll save what I can out there

The are just push connectors and they made my life a lot easier. I did not have to solder anything but I chose to. I only used the push connectors inside the junction box and Robin from northern grow lights included them with the junction box purchase.

Negative no reflector just the lens which is silicone. It is two part though.

Great looking fixture. I have same one with HLG 240. I am going to swap out with a HLG 320 soon.

Ok you flippers, here we go, the Girls Got their first feeding of flower nutes last night and the timer is set for the first off cycle tonight to begin 12/12. I left them under the COB light 24/7 for almost two days and started with the light dimmed down and went increasing it little by little until we were on full blast just in case. One of the girls is showing some yellowing on the new growth that I will keep an eye on. I think it was from a screwed PH feeding the time before this one. I'm not sure if I should top them again or not? They were already topped for four mains and are huge the stretch is gonna be crazy here most likely lol.
This is what the veg tent looks like now that the GG girls have moved on lol:
Closer pic of the Auto grown under T5 it's whole life:
And a little bubble bucket test I have going on in the closet tent with the hydro cloner:
Thanks for checking
Cheers!
