Thanks, Man. Nice detailed response. It sounds like the way to go. But, I'm limited in my electrical/electronics skills. I'm most likely going to go with a turnkey solution to avoid getting myself in over my head.
Honest dude there is nothing to it I built my own fixtures with no previous knowledge just a little research and it's straight forward

So overpriced for what it is.

@race winslow Nice choice on the light, looking forward to seeing how it works out for you. Quite a few kickass grows on here under timber lights.
That’s a matter of opinion! BEST warranty in the business and built like a tank. My Phytomax2 800, fell off light rail, 8’ to concrete floor. I plugged it back in a it worked like a champ. It’s so over built, it just dented the corner or the aluminum housing. ANY OTHER light would’ve broke taken that fall. I can careless is there are slightly more efficient lights, on the market. Not one of them is are as powerful, considering Phytomax2 1000’s are the most powerful LED’s on the market and has be as advertised.

Their warranty is no better than any other decently built led on the market.

You could buy multiple gavita's, fluence, hlg, or timbers and have better coverage, passive cooling and over 1050w. While spending the same as on one phytomax 1000.

I am sure it grows fine pot for you, but facts are facts

I just bought these two for less than the cost of one of the BD 1000

But your plants do look good. So good for you and keep on growin!

My preference is your redwood probably because i have more grows under cobs than boards. Starting my second run with a 2 board diablo in a month or so. First was so-so, but i had trouble dialing in the distance compared to my cobs along with some bugs.... Hopefully next run will be more productive

Bugs, truly suck.....distance, I'll keep that in mind. It's easy to not realize that the output easily exceeds wattage. I'll probably start at 36 inches over canopy at 50%. From your experience does that sound reasonable? Thanks

I ran my cobs around 36" from the canopy. The boards need to be more like 24

Flower is where distance and power made a difference. In veg under cobs i was near 50w per sq/ft with the cobs, down to 35 in flower. The boards, were 35 in veg down to 20w

Definately not dialed in yet though, so who knows

Some folks may be familiar with this fellow. He's a gardener and soil/plant scientist. His writings don't specifically deal with growing weed. However, he does have a vast understanding of gardening and the do's and don'ts. I've gleaned some information from him. Maybe some folks from here will too.
You may have to search through his various posts to find what's relevant to you.
