Weird Issues

that light says 6000-6500k

i hope you posted all this stuff over in the led forum for help. i've never heard of those cobs, but would recommend at least some cxa3070 or 3590 cree's so you know that what you're getting has been tested and approved. may be a little more up front (i think $30-40 for a good bin), but that should be better for piece of mind. also, you can buy them domestic so not to have to wait up to 3 weeks from epacket (yes, 3 weeks happens more than you think).

Yeah but you can get the warm white ones same price.
I've done some research, these china COB's are apparently not bad. Not going to be getting a full 11,000 lm from them, and they aren't going to last as long, but for the price its hard to beat it.
If I were to upgrade and go for a fancy LED setup, I would definitely select more reputable parts, but this is really just to hold me over until I can snag a 400w HPS light. But I'm worried in my grow space, a 400w HPS is going to cause some serious heat issues unless i get some big inline fans and ducts and shit.
I don't really know.
For a 2x2x6 area (its 10' tall but I but im saying 6 cause I have the top area blocked off for sortage), How much heat is a 400w hps going to produce?

it really depends on if it is in an air-cooled hood, and where does the air vent into and out of the tent.

400 seems like a lot in a 2xx2x6

You guys are gunna love this.
I pruned off a few branched in the woody part of the stem. I figured I'd give them a shot and fashioned a miniature bubble cloner.

Oh lawdy she is looking so pretty! I'm getting in a groove, I'm going to have to water it every day with as fast as the soil dries, but now its just a matter of dialing in how much water to give each time.
Look at that canopy! I'm in love

I'm excited about this!
I trimmed a few of the least healthy leaves from the top of the canopy to open up light for new growth. Once at least 4 or 5 of the tips down there have grown to about 3" I'll flip it over to flower if everything looks good with spacing
