Cree chips arent supposed to be used for extended periods of timw I use osram 1% deprecation rateMaybe because the lights you are looking at are garbage? Seriously, there is very little info about the actual chips they are using. The technical details are almost non existent.
You don't have to buy a giant timber rig for $1000. Their 250 watt and 300 watt Citizen frames would likely crush that chinese Amazon light you have your eye on. Or you'd simply be better off with a vented 600 or a ceramic 315 or quantum boards.
How big is your space?
Oh, and before you waste your cash, let me help you out here - https://www.amazon.com/Roleadro-Greenhouse-Germinating-Flowering-Generation/dp/B01IVQ96WW/ref=sr_1_5?s=lawn-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1493397879&sr=1-5&keywords=cree+led
^ That thing is used, but there is no way it's older than 2 years. The Cree chips that light uses are good for 5 years, if not more.

The Citizen chips are cheaper than the Crees, but are comparable to them in terms or performance/light output. They're a slightly better value.which one did you decide to go with?
appreciate the link and info @Johnny Lawrence quick question: for another $100 what about the CXB3590 for a small grow?
You might want to look into quantum boards if head space is an issue. They're cheap, and I've seen some grow journals where guys were producing pretty big colas under them. I linked to the quantum thread on page 1.I bought timber citizen 300w kit no frame. They have screw holes on the sides so i bought screws and each one is hung by its self. I also bought the citizen 100w kit. I made a frame for them 2 cobs and am using it in a 2x4 tent. Bright as hell. I have to dim the 300w cause my room is onlh 55"tall so yes my plants are all smaller but im working on it still. Those vegetables were grown under the 300w 12/12 lighting also.
Where did you hear that? Osram makes cobs?Cree chips arent supposed to be used for extended periods of timw I use osram 1% deprecation rate
just for clarification for me: the Citizen chips are the better value?The Citizen chips are cheaper than the Crees, but are comparable to them in terms or performance/light output. They're a slightly better value.

3' deep 4' wide and 8' tallWhat size space are you working with?
The 300 watt Citizen kit should cover that. You could run less wattage if that's out of your budget.3' deep 4' wide and 8' tall
the four cob looks like i'll save up for that one. $529 is a little over my budget but i think that would do well in my space.The 300 watt Citizen kit should cover that. You could run less wattage if that's out of your budget.
You will still be able to add 2 more cobs to that kit down the road. Ballast will run 6 cobs total.the four cob looks like i'll save up for that one. $529 is a little over my budget but i think that would do well in my space.
Ive bewn looking for ages but cNt find rhe scholar but heres a quote from the siteExpensive + shipping overseas.
