I'm building a 2x2.5 grow box using 4 36v cxb3590 setup. Im new to COB lights. Ive seen amazing results using COB set ups so i planned giving the a try on my small scrog. The plan so far is to use 4 6500k dd bin for veg then swapping them out with 4 2700k bb bin for flowering. Would a mix be better or will this give me my best results? I plan on growing strictly indica.

What is your reason for the Cree cxb3590's? They are pretty over priced compared to other COB's that are now on the market. For a small 2x2.5 box have a look at the Citizen CLU048-1212's they are less than $15.00 a COB compared to the best price I can find cxb3590's at of $39.00 each. A nice set up would be 4 1212's on a Meanwell hlg-185h-c1400 driver for a nice 200w fixture for 40w per sq ft of space. No need to mess with different fixtures for veg and flower. Swapping kelvin #'s is what the CFL guys have to do. Just build a fixture with 4 3500K 90cri CLU048-1212's and use it start to finish.

I would run 2-6500K and 2-2700K for both veg and bloom. One light to do both. Just turn the light down to 50% for veg and turn it up to 100% for bloom. I would run a HGLG-185H-C1400B meanwell driver wit5h dimming got best results. Softer is better, lower amps is better than higher amps.
