I apologize if this is a stupid question but from looking over that thread and googling those parts it seems like the light portion of your set up is only costing a few hundred bucks? Is that really everything needed to make your own? Those LEDS also look a lot like ones used in the go green ones. Since I am doing a 5x5, should I triple your order if I go that route? It's early and I'm halfway through a king size raw of some headband so please excuse myself if these are dumb questions. Going to take down the rest of the suggested threads today with notes. Thanks again everyone for the help. Almost there.@JcV777 I don't know anything about gogreen. Growmau5 videos better just watch it on mute.. And i highly recommend Cree cxb 3590 chips. Take a look at my 3x2' (6 sqft) here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/4-cxb3590-36v-1-4ma-3x2.905012/ to get an idea for how much light you'd need. I just set it up 2 days ago. And temps & conditions are best yet.
Another brand to research, added to the list today thank you!mmm.. i "think" i prefer tasty led, what would be the pros and cons of each brand and models.. ??
That's cool but it being CFL, doesn't it need to be right. Top of the plant, like 2 inches away in order to get use out of it?They're diy CFL and LED hoods. made from a white tub lined with foil tape and a baking cookie sheet with a plastic lid to house all the electrical and give a solid place for the moguls to set in. Also a cord and on/off switch.

I tried to keep it cheap as I could, but DIY led is probably gonna be your best option and give the best results. There are many different combinations of cobs and drivers. You could go with like 8-12 cxb3590, or like 12 vero 29. Just make sure you have the right drivers picked out for how many cobs (chips on board) you want to run.I apologize if this is a stupid question but from looking over that thread and googling those parts it seems like the light portion of your set up is only costing a few hundred bucks?

Here's something you can do that might help you out....
