I've run several successful grows in my small 60cmx60cm tent using four CBX3590 36v 3500K CD Bin COBs powered by a Meanwell HLG-185H-C1400B LED driver, actively cooled using PC heatsinks and fans.

I've just been gifted the space to go up to a 1.2mx1.2m tent - thanks wife :hug:

Will my current array cope with that space increase - it was performing amazingly well in the small tent but what options have I got with the increase in size?
  • Stay as you are, just increase array dimensions - go for it :bigjoint:
  • Just add another COB? :clap:
  • Upgrade driver? :cry:
  • Add more COBs and upgrade driver? :roll:

You just doubled your square footage. Add another 200-250 watts and 4-5 more COBs. You're going to love having more space.

The first line of your sig says - no new toys for you.
The second line of your sig says - I dont know what the fuck it says.
The third line of your sig says - You are an old fuck!

If you want to break the wallet open go for distribution and consolidation, one driver more COBs and an environmental controller.

Quantum boards would be my first choice... But they are sold out until May... if you can wait, go for quantum...
If not just double what you already have...
