A what ? Sorry, I'm foreign and not that into the english grower jargon already.
Use a panel with 9 cobs so you have a cluster of 3x3 cobs. If you run them on 1 ampere (lots of drivers out there adjustable from 0,525 amps to 1,05 amps) they will outperform a 600w bulb. When Cree CXB 3590 are run at this ampere they produce the double amount of light as a metal halide etc. The effficiency is 65% to 70%, that means 100w flowing into a cob panel will produce 65-70watt of light and 30-35% of heat
You unplug the cables from the socket of that particular cob, remove two screws and install a new cob. It's really simple and comfortable
Those Cree CXB 3590 are dirt cheap by now, the whole panel would cost you around 500 bucks (rough estimate). It would deliver the performance you need for a 4x4 and it would even outperform a 600 watt hps, resulting in a higher photone output and a increased yield.
I wouldn't bother so much about if there are new/better cobs being developed. The CXB 3590 need half or even less the wattage to produce the same amount of photons as a hps. In my opinion that's a milestone and I'm totally satisfied with my panel. It has more benefits than saving energy. The buds smell better, you don't have to struggle with heat during summer and you can finally take growroom pictures without the light fucking up the picture.

Yes
Edit: Don't wanna spam this thread with led stuff. Send me a message or visit my grow journal, I'm happy to give advice if possible.

It's recommended to use both spectrums for veg, just the blue makes for really short plants like stupid short. And is a bit lacking both spectrums work better not just for flower but veg too

? Its my thread
Spam it up i dont care as long as its not stupid shit.
im down to brush up on my led knowledge

I always ran it with all spectrums running

Look up viparspectra they ain't mono, differing colors within the spectrum not like the old leds that were straight red and blue

Whats a good cob build that will max out at 1000w ,
how many cobs, what kind of price per cob
Doesnt have to be the cheapest but not the most expensive eother lol

DE = double endedA what ? Sorry, I'm foreign and not that into the english grower jargon already.

A Double ended 1000 will make a single ended 1000 look like a 600w
I’ll never buy another single ended HPS bulb again, the DEs work to well.
I haven’t seen any LEDs out yeild a HSP in a 4x4 yet.

I am hopefully eventually going to be running a cob every square foot in a 5x5 room 3500K cxb 3590s running 50 watts each. Five bars with 5 cobs on each bar.

I believe leds tend to have equivalent intensity but less spread and penetration (giggity) which is where hid picks up the slack, something along those lines
