I think 3000k would be better to flower with. That' the only thing it will b used for.There's 3000k strips available on verrical although I've never ordered through the site (its owned by arrow)

I usually run mine at about 150-160w in veg and 200-220w in flower...What I got does the job. Jus trying to cut back on the power bill...
Even at 10 bucks and change that's only jus over 220 bucks. And then 72 for power supply. That's still under my money mark.There's 3000k strips available on verrical although I've never ordered through the site (its owned by arrow)

Got any pics of it in actionI usually run mine at about 150-160w in veg and 200-220w in flower...
The only thing I'm worried about with qb. Is I run an uneven canopy alot. Bc I run several different strains at a time. As you can see in the pics I posted.I usually run mine at about 150-160w in veg and 200-220w in flower...
You can get the same coverage with COB's, QB's and Strips they just need to be placed at different heights above the canopy. In this case if you need a bit of height COBs may be the best route.The only thing I'm worried about with qb. Is I run an uneven canopy alot. Bc I run several different strains at a time.

there's plenty of budshots on my ig.. I don't really do full tent or garden shots but all the pics since mid october 2017 or so are 100% qb grown (prior to that I was using blurples too)...Got any pics of it in action
lol ya I'm always running several different strains... I honestly haven't even tried for an even canopy in forever...The only thing I'm worried about with qb. Is I run an uneven canopy alot. Bc I run several different strains at a time. As you can see in the pics I posted.
yep, that's itWhat's your IG name @ganjamystic
I don't see that being true, they all have very different footprints. Most desirable being strips. Cobs are almost a point source of light, same with the QB they have a hot spot in the middle.You can get the same coverage with COB's, QB's and Strips they just need to be placed at different heights above the canopy.

If you position those point sources closer to the 4 corners you get a very even coverage with a bit more height.I don't see that being true, they all have very different footprints.

You get as much height/coverage as the power you're running really. Strips should be spaced closer together near the outside/edges to do just the same. I don't see how its not better having 100 cobs (strips) vs 1 cob? In any situation really.If you position those point sources closer to the 4 corners you get a very even coverage with a bit more height.
With strips the coverage is great when they are very close to canopy but when they are lifted or they don't fit the area well, corners and edges suffer. At least this is what I have seen from testing.

you're both right imo.. strips allow you to place the lights closer to the canopy while still achieving even coverage... but you can get even coverage with cobs and qbs too, they just have to be raised up a little to spread the light... apparently, running 1 bare cob per sq ft at about 12" results in nice even coverage (http://rollitup.org/t/new-style-samsung-lm561c-board.955201/page-4#post-13956483).. I find 1 qb per 2'x2' at a height of about 18"-20" results in even coverage (no par meter, just eyeballing it, but no noticeable shadows or hotspots)...I don't see that being true, they all have very different footprints. Most desirable being strips. Cobs are almost a point source of light, same with the QB they have a hot spot in the middle.
you're comparing 100 of something to 1 of something. how does that make any sense. No one is going to run one cob.You get as much height/coverage as the power you're running really.

Strips should be positioned the way you mentioned but even then they would have to be closer to the tent wall to gain the same intensity a cob would have in corners without being as close. This results in more light hitting wall when light is raised.You get as much height/coverage as the power you're running really.
