Thanks Tomula.Yo Sleepless! Top notch gardening here, the girls are just massive. I wonder how the nugs are gonna be, yay!
To chime in your debate, I got one 1825 for 36$ a piece. Shipping was 36$ too, but super fast, no taxes the 250$ COBs were listed for 12$. I'm saving up for the power source. My recommendation is one driver for one COB, but that costs moneys yes? The usual price for home build is like one dollar per watt, more if you go one driver for one LED. Let's say that 80W per chip is good balance of efficient and powerful. But then the 1825 at 100W is as efficient as new Vero at 75W (4000K). At 60W+ those chips are worth it. Not much difference at 50W. I'll get my 600W light for 530$, but I have a great deal on the power source and heatsinks. Active cooling, with UVB bulb. The basic plan. Remember, that you can always upgrade your fixture. I think even 200W can make you some nice nugs. Heck, get powerful dimmable power source, decent cooling and two 1825s and start rocking. Veg under CFL. Tada, upgrade forever. Just my 2 cents. Cheers brothers!
I went out of the house for 8 days mid Feb and due several circumstances my plants went from this to a crispy desert landscape when i came back home. They bounced back somehow. At least i thought but 3 of 5 must've had serious root burn and got slow n sick a few weeks later so i had to pull a 10 weeks strain at week 6 before some mold or bugs was snacking on the weak plants. All plants lost about 60 percent or more of their foliage within only 4 days and now i have leafy buds. But i am happy to have some buds at all and i think i will pull some ounces from the 2 strong Nebulas that survived and fully recovered. Nebula is a quite heat resistant oldschool strain from the 90s. I will update pictures tomorrow morning when i get up, which is in about 12 hours. You can drop in if you want. I am really curious about the Nebula. . .
