Hi, After using the cheap China made lights, I have finally decided to try COB'S this time. I was wondering if single Citizen Clu048 1212 would be sufficient for 1 plant in a 1ftx1ft area. I'm expecting it to run on 50w power. In addition to the COB, I'll be using 5x 5w led lights as a...

Hi, How many plants I can fit in a 6L x 3W mtr space? I need to leave a walkway to reach to every plant. Thamks.

Hi guys, I was growing my plants under a chinese LED's for a couple of months now, and they are working just fine for me. After growing a couple of cycles I've decided to make my own COB grow light. I want to know the each and every details on how to make one of the most efficient and cheapest...

and after doing some calculations the HPS are not economical for me, just in one cycle without HPS i'll save around 1200-1400$ on my electricity bills. ( 4 months )

Okay so i took the exact measurement's of my room today and the total area under cultivation will be 12 x 3 ft & 12 x 3 ft rows. Like two straight row's.

how much difference it would make in PAR/Lux values if i use Single ended, Vaccumed HPS insted of Double ended Nitrogen filled bulbs?

I was thinking about purchasing something which would give me at least a 3x3ft footprint area. and place them accordingly.

I had the same thought in my mind but then i realized that running my HVAC just for 5-10 plant's isn't economical.

Let's not get into a fight here and concentrate on the actual thread question? HPS and cree's are a Big NO NO!, what options do i have now? My per light budget is around 150-170$. Peace :)

Yeah the main reason is power bills as the electricity is much much costlier here. Back in the days I used to run 2x 600w hps in my room and I had bills over 400$ a month including my HVAC and other power consuming things.

Agreed. But they consume a lot more electricity than cobs. Im already spending a lot on my HVAC and if I run it with the cmh I'll probably end up loosing all my money on electricity bills. I already ran one cycle with MH and HPS and trust me the monthly electricity bills were too high. So I...

Okay, And what about the above links i provided? Are they any of a use?. Thanks. :)

Okay mate, I'll definitely have a look at them. Do you know any other manufacturer?

I tried DIY last time but I ended up burning all my wiring. :/ I'm not that smart I guess.
