I need help! I plan on running 2x vero 29 v2 for vegging. is there a cheap driver that will run these both? I saw the Mean Well LPC-100-2100 but can I just run 2 of them off it and run them at 50w each?

Well it's exciting that there is no answer to this question... I feel like we're exploring uncharted territory!

I'm debating getting a bunch of CXB3590 6500k cobs for my LED panel setup. (doing 8 cobs on 1 heatsink) Part of me wants to just do a mixed spectrum with some 6500ks, 3500ks and 3000ks Anyone know if I should just stick to 3k or go for straight 6k or maybe a mix of all?

Shit like 2x2 I imagine. Now when I'm in full flower and doing scrog.. that's another story.

Sounds awesome man, I'd love to see some pics of your setup. This is another thing I'm debating: how to veg. I want to have my 2x4x5 tent in continous flower, so I need a way to veg these guys in a small way (gotta fit the veging cabinet in a small space..) to prep them for DWC for flowering.

You've appealed to my cheap bastard mentality 100%. I find myself thinking man if I could just WAIT another year I bet efficiency ratings will be off the charts and the COBs would be even cheaper. Would this setup "beat" a 600w HPS? I like this idea and would potentially add another vero 29 +...

Any findings or personal experience with vegging with CFLs instead of LEDs? Its probably shit but if it saved me $ I can't find much data on this

One each, I imagine. Do you think 2 cobs on an AMD heatsink would be enought to veg 2 plants well? Should I go with a setup more powerful/efficicent? I'm trying to keep costs down which is why I wanted to veg them in the tent however since I'm doing SOG it could get tricky to veg them in there.

I've been looking around here for a few days and can't find a definitive answer: What would the most efficient LED setup be for my 2x4x5 grow tent? I'm planning to do Realstyles LED panel however I need to know if there's something that maths out more efficiently for my space

I'm conflicted - and there is just SO much information here, so I'm looking for some guidance My setup: 2x4x5 grow tent Growing: 2x 5 gallon DWC (SCROG/LST) For my tent I was planning on going with Realstyle's LED Panel build however after reading more threads I'm thinking I might be missing...

well I'm going to flower in the tent and setup a vegging cabinet. So I'll run the tent at 4k however I've heard 5k may be better on this forum by Supra. Ideas for a cheap vegging COB setup? You'd only need like 2 COBs for vegging two plants, right?

Seems like Realstyles likes to run his lights more soft so they last a lot longer, then. Which route would you go? I don't necessarily like the idea of "overclocking" my lights.. seems like a quicker way to shoot your $700 investment when the main goal is to offset the huge investment with...

First timer here be gentle! I'm about to start a grow with a 2x4x5 tent in an apartment. How many plants should I grow? I'm opting to go DIY LED and will get what will be the equivalent of roughly 800w - 1000w HPS I'm also going DWC - so this begs the question: should I go for 2 plants or 4...

You said "neither" though so is there a different setup that you would suggest?

I can't find a definitive answer on what is best, 36v or 72v I'm going for Realstyles panel build (8 cobs on a large heatsink, 4 cobs to a driver) (https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=306831) thanks

Don't you want to go with 36v instead of 72v because you get higher efficiency ? I just read that on here somewhere... someone tell me I'm totally wrong so I can do more research!

How does this match up to a 600w HPS in terms of yield in a grow tent of 2x3x5?
