After a week of researching and reading on here, I've finally decided on a plan for my complete setup from scratch. Many of my choices were shaped around finding components that were either sourced Canadian or nearby in the US, to avoid excess import fees and taxes.
Please let me know if you think there's anything I should change! (Prices are CDN dollars unless noted, and end up being more expensive than American sources unfortunately, but still cheaper than paying import duties and shipping from usa.)
Tent: 100cm x 100cm x 180cm (3'x3'x6') Mars Hydro Grow tent - $160 (emailed them for a slight discount)
COB LED Lighting
Cobs: 4x Vero29 Gen 7 - Type B 52V 3000k 80CRI from Digikey canada - $36ea $144 total
Driver: 2x HLG-185H-C1400B from Mouser Canada - $78ea - $156 total - I think I could do 4 cobs with one HLG-320H but it's basically the same cost so from what I've read on here I'm going to go with the safer route of two lower voltage drivers.
Heatsink: 4x SST X Passive Heatsink (flared pins) from NorthernGrow $24ea USD - $96 total
4 x Pico-EZmate™ Harness for Bridgelux Vero from Digikey canada $2.50 ea
4x LEDiL Reflector Adapter from Mouser Canada $3.50 ea
4x Ledil F13838_ANGELINA-XW Reflector from Mouser Canada $14 ea
2 & 3 Position Wago 222-412 / 222 413 connectors (still trying to determine best CDN source for these)
Thermal Paste: Gelid Solutions GC-Extreme
Frame made of aluminium angle from local hardware store
Air
Active Air 4 Inch In-Line Fan 165 CFM from Amazon.ca - $105
iPower GLFILT4M Air Carbon Filter from Amazon.ca - $65
Active Air ACSC Duct Fan Speed Adjuster from Amazon.ca - $30
I was considering doing a 6" fan but it costs nearly $100 cdn more for the "6 fan and filter, will the 4" fan will be enough for this setup?
I think thats everything! What do you guys think of this plan, is there anything I'm missing or should change? Big thanks to everyone on this forum, I thought this was going to be really hard at first but reading through all the threads here and mau5 video has made it possible, now I just have to assemble and use it without electrocuting myself!
