I would recommend even looking into the new seventh gen Vero29s. ~100 more PPFD, my 90CRI Vero29C @1670mA vs. my 80CRI CXB3590 @ 2150mA.Okay. So what pricings are your cobs Stephen? Because the 4 cree chips from cutter come in at about $500. With drivers, reflectors and those large pin fin coolers.
I'm in Australia btw. Might be a bit much to ship here.
I have 3 single-chip fixtures for this reason.I don't think cutters kits change spectrum. I think they're single channel dimmed. One dimmer for the entire setup. And no switches to select which cobs are on and which are off.
I think current gen Vero29Cs are cheaper than CXB3590s. Like.. CXB3590s are still good and top shelf, but they are as of very recently, one half-gen behind.I don't really have a cash falling out my pockets though. I'm basically looking for the best light I can get for around the $500-600 mark. Even if it's more power than what I currently need. Just means I'll have to turn it down. Until I decide to chuck it into a bigger confine.
I do like Cutter/GrowMau5, I'm just giving my own personal insight to help him consider.the cutter kits let you choose spectrum i just checked myself

That PPFD is way off for the HPS side, see my signature for the correct numbers. PPF is what you're thinking but that's even off after the real reflector loss.For PPFD (Photosynthetic Photon Flux Density, typically measured in micromols per square meter) you want to aim as close to 1200 as possible. 1200 is the optimal amount of light a plant can use. At 1500, your plant will actually start to experience photoinhibition and potentially cellular destruction. A 600w HPS typically puts out 1000-1200 PPFD. A 1000w HPS, ~2100 PPFD.
There is no way PPF is that high. 1200-2100 PPF would be hella intense. I think one of my unit's PPFs is like, 196.That PPFD is way off for the HPS side, see my signature for the correct numbers. PPF is what you're thinking but that's even off after the real reflector loss.
PPFD is what makes it to the canopy, PPF it total light emitted... EssentiallyThere is no way PPF is that high. 1200-2100 PPF would be hella intense. I think one of my unit's PPFs is like, 196.
Yeah, but the measurement/formula is different. Look, you can see one of these lamps has a PPF of 196 but a PPFD of 932.PPFD is what makes it to the canopy, PPF it total light emitted... Essentially
