Jesus Christ. You do have a lot. I'll start them when I finish these stinky bitches. Only have 1 grow room at the moment.

Grape where are you located? UK OR USA? You can get good strains from Bonza seeds

COB stands for Chip On Board (LEDs). They are a great indoor plant growing lighting option because they offer great efficiency and great colour rendering, which means you run them through veg and flower with stellar yields and potency cause they combine all colours of the spectrum. I have two Bridgelux Vero 18 4000K 80 CRI and I run them with Meanwell 1400mA constant current drivers. They illuminate 120 degrees so there's no loss in reflection either. Just two of em isn't gonna cut it for finishing two plants (one at a time at best). The only problem is they are really hard to come by in my part of the world and these two is all I could find without bulk ordering 40 or so pieces. but one day :)
here's a pic of em mounted on CPU heatsinks

I live in neither lol. I get my seeds from a retailer but they don't stack too many varieties... just regular Dutch/Spanish seedbanks and most recently Medical Seeds (which is Canadian I believe but I've noticed their presence in Spain as well) and DNA genetics

Great info, you definitely know your stuff! And the girls look great under them! My LED unit is probably just some Chinese shite.
I'm intrigued now as to where you live! I always presumed you was from the US!

Nice get some photos up mate. It's Deep Water Culture so I change the reservoir every Saturday. And then top up with dechlorinated water Ph'd at 5.8. I try to top up and keep the nutrients balanced aswell according to the EC/CF of the water, but don't always have the time.

How does one deal with power outage while running DWC?

Sorry mate, forgot to reply to the power outage question.
I was worried about this myself. But I have read that the plant should be ok for 24 hours! I think it is dependant on the size of the plant and the roots though. Not had a power cut since i've grown (not that I know of) . And in the past power cuts here have only lasted a couple of hours at the most so all should be fine.
Thinking of going DWC yourself? I'd highly recommend it.
