    That is kind of where I'm at as well. This was my first light and I wanted to do a lot of experimenting to see what I like and doent like. When I figure out a template I am going to replicate it 6x for the whole setup. Going from all hps so I'm excited to see what will happen.

    A different approach to DIY COB
