Hello everyone!
This is my first very post ever in a forum. I lurk on a lot of forums but I find this the most helpful and competent.
I have been growing under California Lightworks Solarstorm 440 for 2 years. 1 month vegetation, then flowering. Achieved 0.7 g/w under that.
I am now planning on become self sufficient, and have quite an high budget. This is what I thought until now:
2 Cree CXB3590 4000k 70 cri, 2nd bin, driven at 1050mA by 1 ELG100-C1050A (couldnt find an HLG of comparable voltage) should light my two mothers (likely 1 LA confidential and1 OG Kush).=75W
3 Cree CXB3590 4000k 70 cri, 2nd bin, driven at 700mA by 1 HLG80H-C700A should light my clones. =75W
8 Cree CXB3590 3000k 70 cri, 2nd bin, driven at 1050mA by 1HLG320H-C1050A should flower 49 clones at each time in 1, 20 square meter. =302W
Since I am totally new both to SOG and to COBs, I am wondering about a lot of things. My plan is to keep the flowering light on 24/7, and move the clones of the 2 different strains back and forth from the "flowering tent" to a "night tent". But:
Will the 75W for the mothers be able to provide me with the needed amount of clones? (each strain should provide 50+clones every two months).
Will the 75W for the clones be enough to keep them alive? Are COBS too intense to light clones? (That's also why I chose to drive them at 700mA.
On a more general side:
Are the strains good for SOG? is 7x7 clones good for a flowering space of 1 square meter?
Are my color temps right? Is 70 CRI good (more photons) or bad (because of spectrum)?
Is there an HLG able to power 2 CXB3590 at 1050mA, or should I stick with the ELG?
Lots of possibilities, lots of doubts, and self-sufficiency just some planning and screwing (and paying) ahead...
