    COBGrowLights (GrowthStar Spyder)

    Scorpion COB grow lights with Shiatsu Kush seeds from BC Bud Depot. Five plants were grown legally using an MMAR patient license in a 4’x8’ space, using 1500 watt total, consisting of 1 Scorpion 9x 525 watt and 3 Scorpion 5x 325 watt each. Mr. Huston explains, “It was our goal to show that by...

    Recent: Mr. Huston’s five plants were harvested at eight weeks and resulted in a 1.35-lb harvest. - See more at: http://thenewswire.ca/archives?tnwcatalyst2=release_id%3D19950#sthash.XXwrlbZy.dpuf http://thenewswire.ca/archives?tnwcatalyst2=release_id%3D19950

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    Thanks guys. I actually know Growmau5's channel for a while now. It looked too time consuming to do myself but I still like to watch his videos. I recommended Growstar5 to Growthstar around a year ago to see if he would be interested in putting together a guide for Growthstar and try to get...

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    Bob, can you share a link to a guide that you recommend for DIY? I'll test one out sometime just for my own entertainment. $15 is nothing compared to the tens of thousands I spend every few months so I'll give it a shot. And to those who think I'm trying to promote something - not quite. I dont...

    I can buy those ones resold by Raysace for less than 1/5 of what Raysace sells for - with better specs. They also have the phosphor coated versions tested and out. I have all the photos specs and everything man... Raysace and the manufacturers both advertise the total not actual draw. Those...

    There is facebook.com/growthstar and a 550 watt scorpion cob vs 1000 watt hps (same strains) with photos on the www.cobgrowlights.com blog I use both scorpion and spider right now and the spiders work well. The chips are bridgelux/epistar. Theres the option for the scorpion with more white...

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    I already know the specs for the current products + new ones. They don't list them on their site because you can request the ones you want and they can customize it for you (wholesale orders). They don't do so much 1 off selling as their web prices will show. It is funny to me that you guys...

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    Lol I'm not looking to start fights on a grow forum. I want to know if I'm getting my moneys worth for what I've been paying for. I have tried white light LEDs as well as blue/red, 3w, 5w, upside down starlight, right side up laserbeams and more. The lights I use now work for veg and bloom...

    Thanks for your opinion. Bobby_G are you a commercial grower as well? I'm pointing out that when people new to LEDs go to online marketplaces like Alibaba, Amazon, or Ebay, the actual watts their plants are getting is not the same as the watts that are displayed in the product description page...

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    This is MCOB/COB. For those that don't know LEDs. Just be aware that most advertisers show total watts and not the actual watts. Actual watts is what the name implies. Total watts is misleading because the actual draw from the wall will be 40-60% of the total. This is why a lot of...

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    Ya true enough. I'm too busy growing to do the DIY bit. Not sure about the IR. Perhaps incremental benefits that won't make it cost effective to the buyer. I grow fine with the lights as is and have thousands of photos to attest. I was the one that suggested they use a simpler side vent design...

    MCOB LED? from cobgrowlights

    Yeah prices are kind of high but if you bug them about replacement parts or defects they go to great lengths to help you. Kind of supposed to keep this on the low down but... GrowthStar has a new COB coming out that is cheaper than the 200W and twice the watts. They want to test e.g.blurble vs...

    So it's not watts per sq ft with LED's?

    Nice grow. Growmau's guides are very in-depth. So far my understanding of the Mars products like most non COB LEDs is that they suffer light loss with a years worth of use. Would be interesting to see any of your side by side comparisons of plants grown under CXB vs Mars if you have some.

    2x400w versus 1x1000w

    I've been doing business with them for at least 2 years I think. My first contact with them was through Craigslist of all places. GrowthStar's headquarters is a 30 minute drive from where I live and they first introduced me to LED & COB grow lights. I was at the grow chambers in those photos...

    2x400w versus 1x1000w

    Hmm? That is HPS though. I don't use them anymore since switching. The energy costs for LED are half that of HPS and has less cooling requirements. You still need a fan but it doesn't get as hot. But even costs aside, plants are also healthier. I have thousands of photos of various grow trials...

    Do these nug shots look ok with what you typically see for results? Grown with 'cheap blurple' GrowthStar MCOB grow lights. https://www.facebook.com/growthstar/ Let me know. If there is a better product I would want to know about it before I invest more money.

    Cob Grow Lights gave one to the dude over at http://ledgrowlightguide.com/growthstar-spider-4x-200w-mcob-led-grow-light-review They also gave a bunch of GrowthStar Spiders And Scorpions to the guys at BCBUDDEPOT who built some custom wood frame structures out on the island off of British...

    800w of CXB3070 in a 4x4

    Mars claims they use 5W (not sure why they would because most 5W LED's lose 10-30% light efficiency after a year from being too hot (too much wear and tear). Their real watts are 2.5-2.8w. Their chips are NOT COB (chip on board) so their spectrum blending is not as tight. COB/MCOB lights have a...
