What's good photos?
Thanks for the compliment. I know it's nearly impossible to catch lightning in a bottle more than once unless your name is CareStaker. I have a few bubblegum in this run as well. I can't wait to see what smells the brix enhances with these strains. Welcome

Glad u stopped by. I welcome your eagle eye and input. I wish I had the balls to install my own circuit breakers. I think paying to get it installed was money well spent.

Good evening 
I thought I would make today's post about the lighting I will be using this year.
In my previous grow I ran an adjustable 600w HID w/MH and HPS bulbs. I supplemented with a 180w led.
This go round I have new lights from the amazing sponsors of 420magazines' 2015 POTY contest:
Budmaster Cob X-6
LED's: Citiled S4 High CRI COB 3500k
Coverage: 80cm x 120cm
Energy Used: 306w
Input Voltage: 100 - 240v
Frequency: 50 - 60 hz
Current: 600ma
Dimensions: 31 x 49 x 8cm
Timber Vero29:
Wattage 240 Watts
Output 103 PAR Watts
Color Temperature 3000K
Coverage Area @ 18-24" 2' x 3' flower, 3' x 4' vegetation
Cooling Whisper Silent 23dBA Forced Intake/Exhaust
LED Type (2) Vero29 v2 COB 80 CRI
PAR 625 µmols
PPFD 1115 µmols/m²s
Lumen Output 19,000 LM
Dimensions 17" x 14" x 5" (LxWxH)
Advanced LED XML350
DS XML 350
(10) 10w USA Made
Cree XML LED's
(144) 3w High Output LED's
(single chip)
19.5"L x 19.5"W x 3"H
330 watts
DIY led tech is something I have been curious of for many years. I decided to do a dive into learning as much as I can about this tech. I have come to the conclusion that for MY grow efficiency is very important.
The light spread and spacing that cobs provide are superior to single light sources, especially when you can build an enclosure that fits your grow space.
Timber DIY Cree 4 COB kit:
200 watt CREE CXB3590 4000k DB bin.
This COB DIY kit comes with (4) Cree CXB3590 LEDs pre-assembled and mounted on highly efficient 100mm Cooliance black anodized aluminum pin cushion heatsinks.
Using Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B power supply with waterproof quick connectors and a pre-wired potentiometer for dimming.
Using this driver I will be running the cobs at 50% of its recommended wattage. At 56% efficiency, these heatsinks will allow me to run this light without fans. IE passive cooling.
I have aluminum L shaped 4 foot bars I intend to mount these to. Pics this weekend.

Was just staggering by and it sounded like a party in here. Digging the new upgrades. Nice lighting!
Been curious about trying the High Brix myself. Rock it, dude!

High Duggan,
Humbly I agree, it IS a nice bit of kit n kaboodle.
The learning curve never ends it seems.
I guess I'm best when I don't stay in the comfort zone too long to get lazy.

Hey GG,
Long time no see bro! Good to see you around the yard.
I commented to a thread on YT you had going with Icemud some time back.

That's an especially fine selection of lamps you have! 
The Advanced XML350 has been a workhorse for me - I really like it - and the rest are all white COBs - nice!
I have a Vero18 build planned out, and I just may pull the trigger on it this summer...
... do I want a bunch of lights I don't need or do I want an extra $600? ... ...

<raises hand> I know the answer!
Hee hee is there any such thing as a light you don't need? I think not! Tents looking sharp bro. Have you made the pandafilm enclosure for the tents and AC? Gotta keep an eye on you brother like I promised! Everything is stellar so far. You are firing on all cylinders! Don't forget to post your seedlings on the pineapple fields community grow.
