That's a monster!!!

Thanks mate

So if I'm looking into buying 2 cobs for a 60x60 grow space would that be overkill ? And what would you recommend the 3500's ?

@richykn, I’m in a 60 x 75 tent. I have 2. I probably could have done 1 but I wanted to make sure that the outside areas were covered. And either 3500 or 4000 would go from seed to harvest. I would recommend the 3500 though.

Thanks for that looks like I will get 2 of the 3500's then , depending how the blurple does come harvest time I might stick with that for at least 1 more grow

Two for sure...don't forget to add a 100k ohm, linear taper Potentiometer for dimming options. 3500k COBs are the ones you want for a start to finish under one light. With that being said, there is NOTHING like a 5700k/6500k starter light and a 2700k closer. The blue 57/65s and the orange 2700k are reminiscent of our HID roots with Metal Halide and sodium bulbs respectively...and they also do their jobs extremely well. The 57/65s will make tighter nodes, and the 27s make for super dense flowers. Hell, add a far red, IR and UV diode in there as well. Cree makes some really nice mono diodes for a few bucks each.

Also...the color rendering index or CRI. This is a measurement of how accurate colors are represented compared to Sol @ 12:00PM. I am a firm believer in the 90s, or higher, as well as a bunch of people I've talked to.

Bonus: High CRI lights can pull double duty for film and photography and help you 'Get the Shot' to get your struggling YouTube channel off the ground. Remember kiddies..high production standards, original content, and keep them videos pumping out, even when you "Aren't feeling like it today."

can you post a link to this

I couldn’t find it

@Dr.Bubbles , that's alot of knowledge to take in there bro I didn't realise there were so many options , IL definitely have to look into that more maybe when I'm waiting for the lady to dry after harvest while I'm twiddling my thumbs .

Everyone seems to be saying the 3500s would be best suited to me so IL get 2 of those and maybe add some of those others as I go along here and there , I wish I had the money and space to just get EVERYTHING though .
Thanks mate

I have see people grow with all sorts of lights and I’ll admit that I like chasing the newest and best tech. However, you should know that you can grow with almost any kind of light. I mean...I’ve even seen people pop the domes off of retail screw-in LED light bulbs and grow with those. You shouldn’t feel pressured to buy any particular piece of equipment. Just use whatever you want and can afford.

The tiny mono diodes can be bought separately, but they are tricky at best without a Masters Degree in microscopic soldering. That's where 3-UP and 4-UP comes in. Think of it like old Super Mario Bros...1-UP is great, but 3-UP is 3x better. Lol. Mix and match, match and mix...add a handful of these strategically placed bad boys. I know a lot of techy Photo growers like Growmau5 uses Far Red and IR "Initiator Pucks" on top of the 18/6 to 12/12 switch to really trigger flowering hard on demand. The flaming hydrogen to helium fusion reactor in the sky puts out all kinds of electromagnetic energy; from lower energy radio waves and microwaves with long wavelengths to IR and visible light. That's where the nice waves stop and things start to get exponentially more dangerous for us soft bodied lumps. Now we get into the top end of visible light beyond violet purple into the UV spectrum, and beyond that are even smaller wavelengths with extremely high frequency like X-Rays and Gamma Rays. I don't think a Gamma Ray emitter would help anybody grow anything but cancer, but the far edges of the R O Y G B I V visible spectrum are fair game...Infrared and Far Red on the low end and a little taste of Ultra Violet on the top end. Just a little something extra for some very special girls. And hey....since they are LEDs, they last forever and are ultra efficient. Why not? And don't set the controls for the heart of the sun. You don't wanna go there.

The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth!!!
