hell yeah! i found them on amazon and couldn't believe how much cheaper they are compared to other "grow" brands. i use mine to control my grow room temp using outside air. works great!If you don't have a thermostat for your grow yet consider the Inkbird thermostats.
I have found info on MCOB from about 3 or 4 years back. but, yeah pretty new tech.. If you are going to get a house lamp light bulb, MCOB is the best. And the MCOB horticulture lamps are looking seriously nice.MCOB that's some new shit... sounds really good.... I like it.
Multiple Chips on Board
I would research into what kind of chips they use, just because they pull 900w from the wall does not mean they put out a better lumen/wattHere's a link .....http://www.cobgrowlights.com 3 year warranty 60 day guarantee..... not bad
Yeah im not so sure, their FAQ says they use Epistar LED chips, same ones in the cheap Mars Hydro LED panels. I didnt know Epistar makes COBs i would have to look into that... you have to be very skeptical when shopping for LED grow lights, theres a lot of bullshit out there.Here's a link .....http://www.cobgrowlights.com 3 year warranty 60 day guarantee..... not bad
Thanks Grundle, the thermostat has 3 ends, 1 is a plug that simply goes into an outlet, 2nd end is the temperature probe, and the 3rd end is an outlet, 2 outlets to be exact. 1 labeled "cooling" and the other "heating".Excellent grow Trap. I like the Inkbird and will be looking into one of them. Do they have a built in timer or do you hook it up inline with the fan? Plants look great.

Heres the whole setup so you have an idea of whats going on.

exactly what i think, i cannot find a good source of info on how often/the amount to feed plants in 5gallon pots of coco. They need 1gal to water to runoff, and everyone says they need to be watered till runoff everyday. So i am doing a little trial you could say. see how they respond to 1gal every 24hours and if its too much cut back to every other day. what do you think? i dont have any experience with coco unfortunatley, just what the internet can teach me.A gallon a day per plant seems excessive at how small they are.

Thank you for the advice @EfficientWatt !! It will definitely help a lot. So these guys are going to be in their 5gal smart pots for their remaining life. Do you think that 1 gallon every day is too much? or should it be 2 half gallon feeding twice a day? I even considered 1 gallon twice a day, but seeing the runoff i thought once a day should be good for now until they get bigger.The other way round is usually the way to go.
With coco, once roots have developed well, you can hardly overwater. But make sure those roots have spread first.
New pot / transplant => You may want to let the coco dry, a little, just enough for roots to "colonize".
Then increase frequency:
=> Water every 2-3 day for soil like results. (use bigger pots or it will become daily)
or
=> Water upto to 3-7x/day for hydro like results. (can use smaller pots)
or
=> find what's best for you, somewhere in between.
That's the beauty of coco.
Obviously when you feed 5 times a day, (you'll need less per feeding to reach run off, but ..) will waste more nutes/solution overall.
"No more ducking under the net with a pitcher of water lol."
^ made me laugh a lot, I remember doing the same, a long, long time ago lol
Trust me => Coco + drippers, you'll never go back
I know i know, the pots are just really bigA gallon a day per plant seems excessive at how small they are.
Just have it be 3 litres a day. Then once they go into flower, do a gallon and a half (6litres) a day. Make sure you go buy the 360* downward sprayers to get an even coverage. DO NOT just put a drip line in there that drips on the same spot everytime with drop after drop. It's shit.I know i know, the pots are just really big
So trying to dial down the Coco feeding, went to the local hydro store and put together a little system, 16 sprinkler stakes, 2 per pot. Feeding 1gallon a plant every day, with nutes. Got a 32gallon trashcan from lowes for $15 as the main reservoir. Fill it with 8 gallons every day and run the pump till its all gone, with the pressure regulators it feeds equal amount of water/nutes to each plant (1 gallon). No more ducking under the net with a pitcher of water lol.

Yeah they are 360 "jet spray" stakes. they get around the whole pot pretty good, i want to get the drip rings though, they didnt have any at the hydro store.Just have it be 3 litres a day.

They use actual watts drawn from the wall.I don't know if Go Green's LED's website listed Watts are the actual watts or total watts.
For LED's, a lot of company's advertise the total watts instead of the actual draw. So for example a website might list their watts as 360 watts when in fact it is 200 Watts.
Actually i already have a 2 plant DWC hydro planned to practice before tackling a large amount of plants.I predict one day you will go pure hydro =) Younrun lady bugs every grow?
Are you with growth stars or just use them?Cool good to know. I haven't heard of them before. If their lights were a bit less expensive I would buy them to do a side-by-side with the GrowthStars.
Have you used either Gogreens or GrowthStars? I'm sure people on this forum would be curious to see someone do a grow trial with 5 of the most popular LED lights.
I can predict that they all work the same but the main difference is the cost and warranties. Would probably piss some companies off as well that are trying to sell theirs at a premium.
