You shouldnt use rock resinator
-
I was wondering, could you use anodized heat sinks instead of extruded aluminum sinks and skip the fans or will you definitely need fans and a bar setup for the 12 cob setup?
-
Bam!
-
In the 12 Cobb 4 x 4 set up running the two Meanwell 1050, since they're already runningextremely efficiently and it low wattage would it
be an issue dimming these -
you're a great teacher
-
Would this set up with the 12 cxb's grow canna without the reds blues n pinks or would you definitely recommend adding some other colors
-
Hey so I'm guessing your high end light is actually 12 cxb 3590s in one light? I'm having trouble understanding 2 drivers to 3 separate lamps. I'm pretty sure you meant 2 drivers and not 3 so just wanted to clarify!
-
I don't know if you've been a professional instructor/teacher, but have to say your videos are so easy to understand and that's because you have a talent for communicating ideas very clearly and succinctly. Thanks for the work you're doing and taking the time to help people like me who really need this kind of help ;?)

Absolutely amazing videos.. Easily some of the best DIY light set ups I have seen..
-
hey @growmau5 thank you for your video. I will do a DIY Panel for a 4x4 tent, and i will make 3 panels with 4 COB CX 3590 36V each and run them on 1050ma (like your last panel in the video). My question is, which reflector you recommend? I think that a 90degree reflector is to much? Would it better a 120 lense / reflector? What you mean?
Greetings and thank you for your answer -
Several things:
1. I'm not quite getting why you're using full spectrum instead of just hitting the peak wavelengths for absorption.
2. Would this setup work for growing anything? I know cannabis and tomato, for instance, are grown roughly the same, but considering a tomato outputs 30 pounds of fruit, would you need more intense lighting?
3. If I wanted to pay you to build and ship a panel, how much would you ask for it? I'm thinking I'd want the COBs to mainly hit the peaks with maybe 10-15% white light, and possible infrared for promoting flowering, though it might also be nice to have a potentiometer driving the voltage across all the COBs of the blues and reds, so you can swap out veg and fruit mode on the same panel, though maybe that's not the best way to grow large amounts (wastes gear not being used)--it just makes sense for someone who'd rather not build 2 panels.
... how about a fruiting panel and a veggie panel? How much to build and ship both of 'em? -
What would a good driver be for a 3 vero 29 v2 light and a 5 vero v2 light be?

Personally, I prefer Cutter Electronics in Australia. They have the best bin selection, at the most reasonable prices. The coral reef community swears by them.. that's where I learned about them. Shipping's pretty reasonable, and fairly quick. A lot quicker than from China. They have the same CXB3590-0000-000N0HCD35G for $34.64 USD. They have pretty much everything you need except the heatsinks. Not the quality of heatsink available from heatsink.usa that is.

I was looking at the potential of ordering those kits you got put together.... are they made to order, or currently backordered and waitlisted?

hey there, I'm wondering how effective it would be to pair 6 cxb3590's with a HLG320H-c1400b 6cobs @36v 216v of available 229
would that be 56% effective aswell? what would par output be? -
gromau5 you're the man. Thank you so much for what you've given to all of us.

+growmau5, FIrst thank you for all this information, am interested on making the 3x3 setup with the 8 Bridgelux vero 29 3500K, whick 2 drivers do i need? in order to make them work on the safe zone (without burn it). and been able to dimm it
Bridgelux vero 29 https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Bridgelux-Vero-29-V2-4000K-LED_60269217202.html?spm=a2700.7724838.0.0.IBHqGF
Thanks -
What would you recommend for a small space? 24" long 12" deep 24" tall ?

Hi Grwmau5
I need your help in choosing LED drivers for my cxb3590
I currently have 2 panel (2 x 4 cxb3590 36v and 2 x drivers mean well HLG-185H-1400B)
This was in a 5 x 3 grow tent
but I changed my 5 x 3 grow tent to 4 X 2 grow tent
so the panels will be too powerful for this one
What would be best?
1) 240 Watt with (1 X HLG-240H-36) parallel connection
2) 300 Watt with (2 X HLG120H-C1050) series connection
2) 300 Watt with (2 X HLG150H-36) parallel connection
4) 320 Watt with (1 X HLG-320H-36) parallel connection
5) 320 Watt with (1 X HLG-320H1050) series connection
hoping for the quick help
thank you very much -
