Thanks bro, I appreciate it! Yeah, I don't know if I can make a diagram of the actual wiring but I'll get back to you with a description at least. And yea, I didn't want to have a bunch of plugs when I could have the one to power all lights lol. It's pretty simple wiring, I'll get back to you for sure though.
Here's a 100w warm white cob that I was contemplating placing right in the center of my cfls to super boost my bucket, but the cob does seem like it would be too intense for the plant, especially during seedling stage. I may install a 50w cob in the future though.
I think with a 100w cob you'd have all the light you need. Cfls would be fillers at this point. But yes. I also think 100w would be too much for seedlings. Wide angle lense would diffuse the light a bit more though.
how much did that set you back? I'll be in my current residence for a couple more months, at the most until February, so I have some time to tweek. Since I can't grow in my current location i'm saving and setting up my micro grow to be ready by the time I move out. Since i'll be moving into an apartment i'm choosing to go with the stealth grow, because if something happens with the electricity i'll know that my apt won't stink up in the lights go out. I'm going to be growing Nirvana's Blue Mystic, low on THC end but doesn't smell during the grow, so i'm cool with that.
Yeah, it would be awesome if I could pop it right on top. Oh well! Although, I am going to line it with warm white led strip lighting that I just received from Amazon today.
100w cob: $11
Sounds interesting. A blue berry kush/widow cross.
Welp in that case i'll take the plunge. did you have to buy a soldering iron?
I already had one, but you can pick them up at Wal-Mart for like $10
Yeah, the cob burns my hand at about 6-8" so I pretty much ruled it as being too intense for my small space. I'll probably look into some smaller CREEs like you're working with. Thanks man
I also got all of my stuff for cheap on Amazon. There will be tons of people on here that will downtalk anything that isn't CREE or Ctizen, but I say it's all personal preference and situation. My cob is a 100w warm white Lohas brand led. It's far from top of the line, but will definitely get the job done. It's like the next door neighbor who just got the newest corvette(Cree) and insists on telling you how you need to get one when you're perfectly content with your pick-up truck(less known brand). They both get you from point A to B. So, my advice to you is do whatever YOU want to do and buy whatever YOU want to use. Of course you could take the advice of the cob masters on this site who build CREE beasts with all top of the line shit, which there is nothing wrong with. But, I'm sure an Amazon setup like mine would work fine for your small operation as well.
Or no fingers
Lol. That could also be debatable. Seeing what disabled people are capable of.
