Hey BigSmo
I'd feel totally honored if tgey chose to use it, and especially as the diy badge, i thought there was a specific one for cob diy.
I'm so happy I came across cobs, i probably would have had to shut things down with my 600 hps, my property manager was on my ass about electricity consumption. I've been trying to spread the word to any growers I meet, they've all been blown away by my 320 watts against their hid. Every time I hit the hydroshop it gets a pretty good conversation started. it's a total game changer... I can grow in my fishtank stand, and actually get a decent yield.
I think alot of people ignore led by default now, i know several people that had big expectations for blurples when they came out, then had their hopes dashed by it's mediocrity. Not to mention the drain on their wallets. I heard about led when I was into keeping reef tanks, and was really excited over the claims made by companies making the monodiodes. A third the electricity, not having to deal with heat, and moving a 60 lamp every time I did tank maintenance, no bulb replacements ...i dropped about $600, and was so disappointed that it wasn't viable. I was saving for a cmh when I saw the things people were doing with cobs, and started reading as much as I could. I'm really grateful for people like yourself helping when I needed advice. Building your own light is extremely satisfying.
I'm kinda rambling, but I get pretty excited about the possibilities cobs open up. Id be pretty happy if Cob Snob gets used:smoking:
