Veteran Grower Challenge: Best/most efficient way to beat cold?

[Tim Fox]

My generator suggestion was assuming he was in a rural area where the noise wouldn't be a problem. The peaks and dips arent a problem if you buy a genny that produces more power than you need.

A dedicated line is by far the best bet, if you can do it.

Hmmmm maybe a telsa powerwall? Lol

yea, your right, it would work, I guess I just couldnt wrap my mind around it, noise, refilling the tank every few hours, but ya,, you could,
but wow that dude must really want some Bud real bad!!! lol

 

[mollymcgrammar]

Its his first grow, it will end up costing him more to do than the bud is worth at full street value.

 

[Tim Fox]

you got that right, took me 2 crops to recoup my investment

 

[mollymcgrammar]

My current grow has cost me about 45$, ill be lucky if i yeild an eighth but it was more for education.

My first grow i dumped a bunch of money into and half the shit i never used... Now im cheap as fuck if im gunna spend a dollar it better be important.

 

[Tim Fox]

my current grow, took the picture about 45 min ago before lights out, a 2 plant scrog under 2 cree cxa3070

 

[mollymcgrammar]

How do you like the LEDs?

 

[Tim Fox]

oh I love them, building another light right now for a friend that will put out over 40,000 lumens from 4 cxb3070's,, after this crop I am adding 4 more cxa's to my box that will bring me to 32,000 lumens in a 3x2

Mind if i ask how much that cost?

 

[Tim Fox]

right now, to build a single cob,, a cob is the cree led, a pc heat sink, an led holder and led driver,,
the cxa3070 i use is selling for 34 , the driver is 16, the holder is 2 bucks, the heat sink /fan is 14
so thats 66 dollars per cob, I have seen grows under just one cob, my current is under 2, the best ones I have seen are under 4 or 5 cobs,, that is the eaisest route right now, there is stronger stuff, but I dont want to make it sound like non sense for the first response to that question
edit meant to say under 5 or 6 cobs,, six is what i want in my box next crop

True that. I'm designing a monster COB LED setup; it will be almost 5kW.

Don't think he will be buying lumigrows if he's going to use extension cords to power his grow lmao

After receiving advice here, my friend has decided to wait for the spring time to germ! Too much hassle!
