I have one question I have hlg 185 @1400 driver, with 4 3070 cree 80 cri on it...
Would I gain anything If i swapped my 3070 for 1212 gen6 90 cri ?

only thing i dont know does it matter , 3070 are 3000k, I ordered 1212 3500k gen6.. they will be side by side in my tent,will be better if I have two same lights or this will be fine? And yes I do autoF only strains..if you want 90cri
again the efficiency will be about the same as your current setup
it doesnt matter,although i bet the plants in the middle will look better because they will be getting light from both colors so better spectrum.only thing i dont know does it matter , 3070 are 3000k, I ordered 1212 3500k gen6.. they will be side by side in my tent,will be better if I have two same lights or this will be fine?

if you think that 90 CRI is what you need. there are several threads with side by sides here. any differences compared to what you have now will be subtleBut the question remains is it worth changing my to 3070 to 1212??
When I'm doing this, I'm also effectively connecting this to COB's correct? I have the Negative Voltage of my drivers connecting to each of the 3 COB's in parallel, so I'm just adding an additional positive wire to this correct? Then adding a positive wire to the Negative connection of the drivers/COB's?Post #2386. The 5v supply needs to connect in series with the driver. Since you have two drivers, connect negative of both drivers to positive of the 5v supply. Now connect two wires to negative of the 5v supply and use these as if they are the negative wires from the drivers. Thank God I understand this stuff better than I can explain it!
Connect driver negative to the 5v supply positive. Connect driver positive to cob positive. Connect 5v supply negative to cob negative. Starting out with the driver and 5v supply set to minimum wouldn't be a bad idea.When I'm doing this, I'm also effectively connecting this to COB's correct?

Just want to make sure before I get going. It just came in today
i cant understand what youre saying, but for what you are trying to do the power supplies need to be IN SERIES acting like one power supply. hook the negative of the 5V driver to the positive of the real driver, and positive from the 5V driver to the cob array. negative from the cobs back to the real driverWhen I'm doing this, I'm also effectively connecting this to COB's correct?
