Why not just veg and flower under the same panel and not make things more complicated than they need to be. 3000k-4000k CCT cobs work well full cycle, there is no need for a 'veg' mode or a 'boom' mode now days. The supporting evidence for such modes with older monochrome panels was suspect in the first place.You could build a veg lamp with V29s. I just recently built a small 60 watt veg lamp using Vero 18s.
Honestly, it might be best to take it one lamp at a time though. Why not grab a cheap 100W CFL panel for veg and build one 450w LED for one 1.2x1.2 meter flower chamber? If you like the results then build another one. If you got an air cooled 600w HPS you could run it in the other 1.2x1.2 and compare results.
Yes but they also cost twice as much per emitter. I'd say just go cheap and dirty and get something rolling. If this is your first grow you won't be able to quantify the difference anyhow since you have no frame of reference. Focus on your gardening skills before getting into the efficiency game that many on this forum choose to indulge in.ok so let's follow this build your own a little more
will the vero29's look after veging and flowering?
Most of the people on here building high dollar LED lights are veteran growers within their respective spaces. I've used the 4000k vero line for veg and flower with multiple species of plants, nothing but vigorous growth in all situations. If nothing else it will be a good base mark for you.
