These 5 lil babies are what's called cowboy cookies, average 15% the they are from Greenpoint seeds out of Colorado... cost me $33 for 10 regular seeds shipped to my door. I popped 5 and they cracked in a day and I put them in peat pots and 5 days I put them in these solo cups

These DOB "driver on board" leds are really cheap, but you get what you pay for. I've been using them for two years now and they work fine, but lm/W is really low ~80 and PPF/D PAR efficiency is half than other COBs, most of the electricity goes out as heat. If you don't mind the electricity bill and you can place many of them close to each other than you can grow fine with these. You will need at least twice the power compared to other COBs. I'm switching to OEM COBs like Bridgelux Vero SE series. They are cheap compared to CREE but you get so much more out of them compared to these DOBs.

Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. These leds are cheap and they run on 220volt at 50watts each, 2 of them are veggin my babies ok and I think the 4 6000k will be enough for a month veg... they are loving it

A little update, I have a 4'x4'x80" tent coming in a few days and I'll be transplanting into 3 gallon pots, I just added the second set and I like the light pattern on the floor... I've always had good success with the GH flora series nutes, they've had 2 small feedings so far and they look like they want more.
