could you link you lights on amazon possibly? thanks for your comment cika, needing a good size of cannabis friends to compare tactics and tips
My lights are DIY cree 3070 ,and citizen CLU048 1212. With meanwell drivers.. It cost me around 250 euros per light..
Kingbrite alibaba supplier..
 
Heres a link to the thread where i build the lights
https://www.rollitup.org/t/1440-watt-project-cutter-strips-time-to-build.990584/


They are LED strips from cutter electronics, 3000k spectrum. I have 2 built already, 1 more to go.
Each fixture is made up of 18 strips and is powered by a HLG-480H-48A drivers( 480watts each) They are 3` x 4` in size
Anything else you want to know, just ask. Im pretty easy to get along with lol


As for Fox farms ocean forrest( i assume your talking about) That stuff is wonderful lol. I grew my first couple crops in it, i loved it. Heres my biggest piece of advice when using FFOF...be patient with the nutrients, FFOF is known as being a HOT soil, with lots of nutrients in it already. My first plants werent fed any nutrients unil day 35 of veg. The soil carried them for that long.

I have since switched to COCO as a medium, a little more work and attention to detail but im loving it.

Keep it simple, FFOF allows a grower to keep things very simple, use a wet and dry cycle, meaning, soak your pots until you get approx 15-20% runoff and then let those same pots almost dry out before you water again. Cannabis loves wet and dry cycles. Helps with root developement and also helps the grower not overwater plants , which is real easy to do for newer growers.

Ask away, anything i can help you with, i will. No problem.

Have a good day.
No wonder you so popular. Your not smart ass prick. You actually try to help ppl like me also. Thank you man, you saved me lots of unnecessary search. I also have yo build a 4x4 light

A DIY cob or qb kit would be great.

However, my first investment I made was into this amazon cob light.

I cant post a link.. But search Mrhua Newest Cob Light 600w.

Sure, its not top of the line.

Yes, it worked with Prime.

Sure, it's got a pink tone to the lighting.

But, vegging 12 babies in a 2.5×4 ft area allowed them to explode in growth.

Is there something better? Yes.

On amazon? Yes.

Cheaper? No, not really.

Ive seen grows where people have two or three of these amazon cobs and they look well.

Ive seen a fully bloomed frosty tree under one of these lights. It looked great.

I imagine its better for flower than vegging.. But still, it is a great option for a starting light.

It runs about 200w from the wall according to my wattage meter.

Where as the two $150 dollar HLG QB100s I have pull about 96-98 watts from the wall.

Good luck buddy.
