I'd definitely use strips in a small space, they put off an awesome amount of light and nearly no heat.

Whyte's peer pressuring me into building a new light with all this tariff talk :)
Man it's happening. Unfortunately. Theres no negotiating on it. Idk where whoever said that got it. I have an email from both arrow and jameco from the purchasing director. The tax increase is hitting no matter what. The prices will automatically go up on the websites. At midnight in March 1st. When I call in orders. I deal with the same guy at arrow. He even said I better place a bulk order. Before then.

What driver would you recommend for that build? I'd like to separate it into 2 drivers if possible so if one goes out I still have half a light to keep shit alive until a replacement arrives. I'm in a 3x3 for now.

I definitely agree with the strips over COB's. My COB's and Drivers put off an insane amount of heat and since I switched to a tent I really don't like it. I've got the drivers outside the tent with my exhaust fan blowing on them.

For what build the one I'm doing?
And dont get me wrong cobs grow the fuck outta herb. But they are more for open rooms like heisen has. I mean they work in tents. But like you said they generate alot of heat.

So I soaked 3 bastard seeds in a shot glass of water for 24 hours then placed in a paper towel that paper towel went into a ziplock bag and was placed on a low source of heat and it’s been over 24 hours but nothing yet. This is my normal germ method and it gives me great results ..Hopefully they will crack soon,,If you guys have any suggestions let me know Thanks View attachment 4285493
I would just soak until they crack. These seeds were sprayed with CS in the beginning for 3 weeks. I found a few on banana cookies that were hollow. Pretty sure its from the CS. Some had already tried to germ and than dried up. They might take a day or longer to open up. Just leave em in a glass of water. I put mine on top of a cob heatsink and they pop in a couple days.
Just got 9 out of 10 on the bastard east coast.

sweet. trying to figure out what light to use in my 80x80cm tent. had considered the strips
If I were you, so you don't have to deal with heatsinks, I would just get four QB120s in 3000k or 3500k for $120, and run them with the HLG-240H-24A driver. In the end it will be under $200. You could get by with two of those boards in that space, but they come in packs of four. If you run the four of them, you get better coverage, and that driver is dimmable.

Lol naw man banana cookies was super easy to get pollen from. I need to make a video later and explain all this shit.
Some females put out very little sacks but alot of pollen. Some put out all sacks and hardly shit for pollen.
I would take a kick to the head every morning if I had someone to pull sacks and extract the pollen for me. It's a pain in the ass and sucks. Takes 2 hrs to pull enough pollen sacks on mac and wedding cake to pollinate a plant. I have to pollinate them at least 3 times 4 days apart so yeah it sucks donkey balls. The easier ones are a godsend and I get happy when people order them. It doesn't make 1 plant better or worse ad far as genetics but it still sucks.
If I only had a few pollen donors I would be set.
A video would be nice I love to hear you talk about the plants and how badass they are I'm sure I'm not the only one love to check that shit out.

sadly I have no choice but the wait until the end of march that really sucks, but if u want to build mine out of your stash you can pocket that extra 100 bucks! lol just depends if u have the funds, but I am for sure going to place an order with you, just need time is all!

do the Qb 120 not require heatsink boards?

sorry for clogging up the thread @Heisenbeans
