Hello rollitup again...

I am fascinate about growing and in my conutry weed is ilegal...
So I have cob addiction and must grow some thing soon under this great light...

So I have space... 10 m x 5 m...and want grow strawberies under this light in 5 tier pots...

so light... i think that diy cobs are best for spectrum they give....
and want to go wit cobs from seed to harvest...
How many cobs unit I need...how many drivers...
And can I connect all that with some solar panels with batery...

Can I make it with cobs on Industrial scale for growing strawberis

Hi! As a strawberry lover I often put some in my indoor grow in the corners when I have enough space so I grew it under HPS and cxb3590 3500k CD with good results! I don't say that 3500k is the best for strawberry but it worked very well! Strawberry have a vegg phase and a bloom one like cannabis so maybe a bit more red during bloom would be great!
Are you going to grow organic? Are you going to use the V method...plants on a kind of scale in a V shape to be able to grow more plants? What kind of strawberries are going to grow? I grew white one once not a big yielder but WHITE STRAWBERRY!!! Next time I will try giant strawberry! The one crossed with wild strawberry are very tasty!
With 50m2 you will have a lot to eat or sell...if you are in a cold country I bet you could sell tasty strawberry in the middle of winter for a good price...there is not a lot of country where growing weed is legal and where people using metric system!!! In fact I can see only one atm and it is not a country it is a region Catalogna!?!?
Do you want to use all 50m2? Because it will cost you a lot! If I was you I will try to find other people who use led to produce berries and try to learn what kind of spectrum they use! Try to buy a 200/250w panel with good COB like cxb3590 vero29 citizen clu or luminus cxm and make a test grow to be sure 3500k is good enough before you spend a lot of money! It is like you have 50 3x3 to light so you will need about 10000€!
Have a lifted one and lots of good vibes from France
