So I went and got some really cheap led driverless cobs, heat sinks, lenses and made up a few panels. Its a mix of 3k and 6k led 50w cobs ... total 400w for veg and autos. For flowering I got 150w 3k lustreon driverless cobs and massive heat sinks lol.
So far so good. Plants look very healthy and growing fast.
My grow buddy here using panasonic led and meanwell setup is very impressed cause I paid next to nothing for them and seem to do the job just as well so far.

Thx bud ill post updates when theirs some more growth
 
Love diy. Nice job on making it look cleanly done as well. :slap:

Will be interesting to see the outcome.
 
I will post pics soon of the last run. The autos came out very nice solid heads. Im doing a run of photos now and will swith to flower in next 2 weeks.
 
So kept on modding the panel I made. Ended up with 2 150w 3k cobs from lustreon ( driverless cheapies). Also I put one 50w 3k cob in middle of those and a full spec strip 50w and a 6k 50w strip to supliment the spectrum. So all togetha 450w driverless leds mounted on heat sinks and pc fans cooling.
Im going on 3 and a half weeks flower with ayuaska, bbc big budda cheese, gold skunk and bannanas in pajamas.
Currently no autos but want to givebone a try again soon.
So far the ayauaka and big budda cheese look like best stains to carry forward with clones I took.
Here various pics of the results so far. Once im flushing will take final pics and weight of dry bud to see how it really did with efficiency :)
Seriously goofed EC

Mate this is looking amazing! How much did you end up spending to make these lights? And how much heat do they make? Might just make them instead of buying, especially since I have a small box and only do autos
