    Remove cree cxa 3070 from CPU heatsink.

    If you can just turn it on for a couple minutes then use something like a leather glove/insulated work glove or t- shirt, something. I just use a small hand towel then twist them from edges. Really pretty easy to remove without damaging. Edit: that's been my experience using prolimatech pk-3.

    Are cobs worth it?

    If I were to venture a couple guesses 1. Shocked the plants by essentially doubling the light 2. Did not up the feeds to accommodate 3. Did not supplement additional Ca and Mg that are common to become deficient in a lot of strains under led in comparison with an hid fixture.

    Are cobs worth it?

    Hell I was pulling average 1.3-1.5gpw with 6 old cxa 3070 z4s @1.5mA, 1-a51xgs 190, and 1-A51 Rw 150.

    which torch is sufficient

    You can get enails for a decent price. Been using the 420 life one I bought off Amazon for $150 for about 5 months so far. This exact one. Comes with universal domeless Ti nail coil is 20mm. Only difference is pretty sure mine says 420 instead of 710 on it...

    Area 51 Why wait, seems you can buy cree cobs lights now

    Might chill and not be so combative, especially on the name stuff. Afterall most people around here love kingbrite which was made well after the US company kingbright which was an already known and established company as well. @Growmau5 already asked which bins. Let's see if they respond other...

    COB build flickering again..

    One thing i would suggest is maybe consider remounting or placing the driver on something other than the pvc as an insulator to the pvc. Just the driver is going to be the warmest operating component other than the emitting surface of the diode. That pvc will off gas some from the heat but it...

    great value led bulbs

    As Fran pointed out lots of light wasted to the sides. I wouldn't use them to flower but they work for veg. For flower I'd definitely use something more intense.

    Small BHO runs without vac purge ok?

    I've used a hand pump with the food saver mason jar attachment to use the normal lids. Just wrap the heating pad around the jar. Worked pretty damn good for a little diy rig though max vac was I think -27.5. So yeah not ideal, but was better than nothing though. LOL

    1st attempt at Rosin = fail ,why?

    Yeah if you have multiple strains try them all. Some yield great, some essentially nothing. You really need to apply pressure. I lean on mine, some stand, some use a vice, vice grips, jacks. Anything to apply pressure and you need plenty of pressure.

    COB build flickering again..

    I'm thinking either bad driver or bad connection from source to driver. Especially if only one driver started out with one diode and spread to the fixture.

    OHO (organic hash oil)

    Have done that for years with 200 proof EtOH to clean bubble bags and screens and jars, also columns but anyways it's alright but just not the same flavor wise to some other extracts. Honestly the rosin or 5* would taste WAY better before this.

    COB build flickering again..

    Have you check output from the drivers or input to drivers for fluctuating current, voltage or resistance? I'm not the best with electrical but I'd look at those if you have not already.

    New To LED, Opinions Welcome

    Go look at my thread I just updated. 4x4 tent and a mix of older A51(funny I have to say older when the lights are barely a year old, LOL) and DIY cobs. Almost 700W at the wall total with my fan, and my exhaust is still just a 4" centrifugal. Should really consider DIY, though if you don't want...

    XGS-190, RW-150, DIY 6-CXA

    And in addition to the dry weights from today above, here is the current. Have an SD that will be coming down any day that can't support itself along with another galaxy.
