im in the process of building a 200w cob led set up with cxb3590 3500k. after much research im still a little confused about using this setup for both veg and flower. For the people that have been using these, are these recommended for veg and flowering? i notice people using dimmable drivers and controlling output during each phase. ive also seen people using different K rated cobs for each phase. I feel like im over complicating this with the more research i do. Any/all suggestions would be great!!

Yes, you can veg and flower with these, as they are in a sweet middle spot. Dimming the drivers, so as to increase light as the plant grows, helps you save energy and not blast light your small plants. Want a suggestion? Get to build your light and get growing, you are good re. light.

Ahhhh, seemingly endless obsessing over efficiency and K temps....took me months to get through that phase. Your light will flood photons.

No he's not, he just asked a question. Its been industry practice for over 30 years to veg under different kelvin scale then 3500k. Only for a few years now have we seen this done regularly during veg. Legit question the op has.

3 x 3 room running 5 cxb3590 @200 watts grow and flowering is amazing with these cobs. I was using 525 watt mh/hps and getting the same if not better results with the cobs. Once you go cob the light game is over with. They are cool, very efficient, and last just about forever. With seedlings i turn it down to 155 right at 24 inches above canopy. Sweet spot for seedlings
