After trying (and failing) a grow with a buddy's COB set up I am wanting to possibly build my own. His had 6 Vero 29 COBs and gave me not so pleasing results growing a dozen fem jack herer. I currently use 2 600w MH/HPS for veg/flower respectively. I am fortunate enough to have my whole guest room dedicated to growing and can pretty much mount in whatever style I want. I use 18x18" peel and stick tiles to designate where my plants go because I'm OCD like that. My ultimate goal is to have a dozen Vero 29 or CXB3590 (1 per plant) my first real question is if that will be an adequate amount of light. I am relatively skilled in DIY as far as building computers so I don't see myself being limited too much by skill. I am however quite confused about the many options available. I would like to use passive cooling (pin cushion style) because I have a ton of airflow and more than adequate cooling for the room. Am I better off sticking to what I know and continuing to burn through 4-8 bulbs a year, or is a properly sized COB set up really all it's cracked up to be? For the rough cost of drivers/COBs/heat sinks etc I could also buy 2 630w CMH fixtures so I'm in a bit of a pickle!!
