I know what a pound looks like..........I bought one once...lol! And it had 8 ounces of stems and seed..............

don't miss those days at all!

And the haters are just pissed they don't have enough brains to grow a good crop!

Haters are people with no imagination, who upon seeing something outside of their experience, decide to call it a lie instead of investigating further. They get angry when called out on the irrationality of their reaction, hence the term 'hater'.

It's about goddamned time I grew a big plant. I've only been trying to do it for five years now...

The best part is that there ARE pics of that plant plastered all over this thread and they STILL don't believe it!

'Pics or it didn't happen' -check
'Half a dozen witnesses' -check
SOMEONE ELSE WEIGHED IT. -check

The implication that I have something to gain by exaggerating my results tells me more about the character of the accuser than anything else.

Looks like your having fun ttystikk. Looking forward to following alone.
Your build has fascinated me with the possibilities. I want to build a combination earth sheltered greenhouse and home that's comfortable to live in, produces fresh food year round... and doesn't consume a ton of power.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how yours works- not just nug shots, but nuts n bolts too.

My thoughts also run to using a south facing slope and a bunch of my vertical trellises working together to maximize the return on sunlight footprint, with COB LED lighting to supplement the sun and compensate for short days or cloudy weather.

Just kicking around some ideas...

g'day tty,
are u using any 3k cob's in ur new DIY LES lights?
Cree CXB3590 72V 3500K CD bin, driven at 50W apiece to get 56% efficiency. For each module, the four chips are spaced in pairs along the heat sink about two feet apart to get even light distribution over the design specified area, 3' x 2', at the desired intensity of 824PPfd. Four modules cover one 4' x 6' trellis panel and the whole system lights six such panels.

I'm stocking up on sunscreen! 8-)

56%? At 1.4 amps you're pushing them (the 72V) perfectly to 100% relative luminous flux.
I'm looking at page 11: http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/Cree/LED-Components-and-Modules/XLamp/Data-and-Binning/ds-CXB3590.pdf

Also, the test data on page 8 is set at 1.2 amps (72V).

If I'm reading the pdf data sheet correctly, I think you're setup is dead on.
Straight up; I'm not the builder, he's got all the exact part numbers. I spec'd the above, he's building it for me. As usual, there are a few aces up my sleeve.

It's a big step and as such it will not be shy about telling me where I went wrong!

On the other hand, I'm really looking forward to seeing how they run here. Everyone else who gets them raves about how they've stepped out of the Dark Ages and that they wouldn't go back to HPS at gunpoint, lol

Truth is I'm pretty sick n tired of HID, myself.

I'm new to this or any other forum for that matter. However, I did find the ignore button and it works. I've been taking some notes and now that I'm done studying the state regs, I'm going to start studying these new light systems.
