Ok so yea i think i fucked my project up a little. Im putting my cobs at 1 foot on center on the bars. Im making 3 bars. I just don't know how far apart to place each bar. A foot apart? More then that? This is a pic of what I'm working with. wanting to do a 4x5 foot foot print. the bars are 4 foot long. Please give me some advise. Id much like advice from people gardening then all these math problems and data sheets and shit, no disrespect.
You haven't fucked anything up I just used a bit of common sense when it came to spacing and because I made a 1 meter square frame.....for me and you'll have to forgive me
if you are not use to the metric system but my tents are 1.2 metres by 2.4 metres so half that was 1.2 by 1.2 metres or 4 foot by 4 foot. Anyway my thoughts on spacing was i would have the frames
100mm from one end of the tent a 200 mm gap in between the 2 frames in the middle of the tent and thought that would be OK because you have the 8 COB's in the middle of the tent providing
enough light coverage over the middle space of the tent. I think that's heaps of light coverage and remember light is only 1 factor to get right for a good growing environment....I must say though I do
like the CXB's....trust your eye!! There is a couple of good phone apps like RGB and RGB light sensor you can download on your phone and check PAR readings. Hope this helps.
