    Have any of you DIY COB Growers finished a crop under 1000W DE HPS? - POLL

    Yes. And you are incorrect in your assumption that resin production can only be increased adding UV light. Different light sources affect plants differently. Nope, no UV. Most of us are aware of what the SPD of our COBs looks like, as well as traditional HID. Cree 3500K (courtesy of...

    Ridiculous yields from spaces that wouldn't yield that much with traditional lighting. Increased resin production. Lower canopy temps for same ppfd. Deeper canopy "penetration". Uniform foot Print, alleviating the hot spot directly beneath the bulb. Just to name a few...

    That would require the grower being there whenever the lights came on. Not very convenient. SDS made a soft start mechanism for his lights. A smart controller (arduino) would be better at controlling a sunrise/sunset function, IMO.

    Ah, a commercial unit. Nope, I'm just a hobbyist builder of LED lights. No safety cert's here. Just sounded like an open request to outperform a Gavita which I'm 100% sure I can do for that price. Even using less Watts. I'm curious if there will be any takers from one of the manufacturers...

    I already offered! I'm about replace my HPS side of my flowering room within the next 6-8 weeks. I would happily build you an extra fixture for that price. That performs as requested.

    who has grown with other light sources in addition to cobs?

    600w HPS, 1000w HPS, Hortilux blue, and T5. Never again.....

    This was wet trimmed, which I don't like doing at all. Normally everything gets dry trimmed.

    That's some fire grown under those LEDs @Yodaweed! Here is some dry nug shots. This is Snow Cap in sunlight. Plant health wasn't 100 this time around. Don't mind the sloppy trim job! Close up

    I know you get it :bigjoint: Let's see if LED breaks into the main stream Cannabis industry by the end of this year (with proven performance).

    Because lazy ass stoner run companies don't push the envelope. Innovators do. DE tech is close to a decade old. Companies are hoping to get one last hoorah out of HID lighting before it's truly dead. Including the awful wholesale companies run by stoner idiots like Hydrofarm. How long did it...

    I also assure you the tent didn't play much role when measured below 24".

    You are probably absolutely right about that. It was the best I had to work with at the time before I assembled the whole array. I could get the light within 10" before canopy temps get warmer than I like, but it usually hangs out around 18" or so.

    arctic alpine 11 heatsink with CBX3590

    Just to clarify, if you want to have 76w total with that driver, you need to be looking at the CXB3590 36V. 72v x 1.05A = 76w each

    1. A gavita DE 1000 costs $450-500, not $800. How much were Gavita's when they were brand new? If you haven't noticed, COB LEDs aren't exactly in the mainstream cannabis scene....Yet. This is the very beginning to a new indoor lighting revolution. Not knocking Gavita's because I know they put...

    I think he means 75w between the two chips... Approximately 37w each.

    It would just be 4 as opposed to 2. But hey, we can agree to disagree right? I won't say that at all. I will say it makes growing good buds easy, due to fullness of the spectrum. But is by no means a secret sauce for dankness.
