How is the heat coming from the cobs? I've never been in a far north INland climate. I Imagine you have To really work to keep a building warm.

Only if it isn't insulated. Running a flip schedule generates plenty of heat, after that it's just a matter of putting it where it's needed.

Word. Great idea and use of space. So is the heat comparable to cmh/hps? I have no standard smd LED or cob led experience but we have dozens of the aforementioned. New rooms=new toys or better tools

The heat is a bit different. I've explained it a few times. Basically infrared radiant heat vs. conductive heat. One heats everything the light touches the other heats the air circulating through the light fixture.

Ok I follow. So essentially the led will emit heat to my plants and root area. But it won't cook the entire room so enviro control and manipulation is much easier.
Also can you direct me to a cob vs standard led comparison? To my understanding the cobs supply more heat and more intense directed spectrum.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Uh, you've got it exactly backwards; LED conducts and convects heat to the air around itself, whereas light bulbs emit lots of radiant heat, aka infrared, which heats plants directly.
Hold your hand near an HID lamp, you'll feel your hand get warm very quickly. LED doesn't feel like this. Instead there's much more brightness but not so much heat forced at the plants.
To put it another way; the element in an HID lamp shares many similarities to that ceramic bar in your toaster oven. They both make a lot of infrared light, aka radiant heat.
You can't make toast with an LED.

other way around, hps heats surfaces it touches ,led blast heat out their fans or permeate heat.

Took some random garden pics tonight. Thought I would post some.
Mrs. MedGrower and I tasted the Classic Seeds Headband test bud. It's been drying 2 days on a jar lid on the coffee table.
I took 2 good deep lungfuls from my bong and it was smooth sour fruity and really very tasty. I will stretch it to delicious even fresh off the plant and air quick dried.
The effects came on like a classic slow creeper weed. 20 minutes later a warm full blanket of high frequency buzz had taken me over.
It's early for a real good creeper so that is all I will report for now on that. It will be cut this week.
I hope the reveg clone roots.
Anyway.....
Here is a new CH9 strain for me. OG Kush x Trainwreck. She is only 7 days into 12/12. She is going to be huge. hope she likes bondage.
I moved this tight short squat but showed sex yesterday G-13 Skunk x Blue Lemon Thai in to the flower room.
I am very curious about her and a Critical Mass x BLT also with Mr. Nice genetics crossed to the BLT that moved up a few days ago.
I already get great results from the Black Widow cross I have been growing.
And I took these 2 garden pics after I cleaned up. I was pretty high by then I admit. They came out weird.

I just took a good pic and a closeup of a middle of flower POW 33. These are really potent plants. They give souring high's.
The added spectrum from the 315 is definitely making a difference in frost and psychoactivity.
It's subtle. I don't think I would focus on light as a limiting factor over environmental improvements or better genetics but it is noticeable. Even the flavor is more like outdoor. A little.....
I wish I had the plant count to clone them all because I am loving all of my plants lately.

I had to supercrop that stretching OG Kush x Trainwreck shown above. Too big, too tall and too fast. For my little room anyway.
I guess the 315 just being in the little room helps with the spectrum all over. This plant has not been under it directly yet. Or it's just more watts of usable light and there will be gains anyway.

Plus look at the full canopy of buds forming. I have to admit. It gets me excited.

Do you just have grows all over your house?
And again your plants look great! What did you do different? Something during transition to flower?

What plant is that? Looks nice with the colored pistils.
And I think I will like to have a Hortilux 600HPS and a 315 3100k Phillips bulb over each footprint. I am 2 600's to 1 315 now.
What is your take on it?
