Please no picsDude, go take a hot bath or jerk off or something. And take some pics so we can see you naked!!!

thats not a correct comparison, 1212 is same class as vero18, not 29If you average over 1GPW, I have seen multiple threads now of users running COBS getting 1.35-1.8 GPW+.
Perhaps look at some Citi/Vero Chips. If cost is a concern, go with the Citizens, latest 6th gen 1212.s are going for around $11 each compared to latest Vero 29 at $25...
Going with both QB and COBS is likely to just make the grow room more complicated....
Also arnt those QB a large fixed size? if so would'nt that make the COB a better choice for more light uniformity and scaleable design.
Just focus on the center plant for a sec![]()
Finally someone with a pic. I love reading people massage model numbers and voltages all day. Send me a link to buy that setup. Thus accelerating the bud porn.Quantum boards though, 7 days yikes

Do you happen to have any CXB3590 chips in 72V? I'm looking to help clean out some people's inventories...thats not a correct comparison, 1212 is same class as vero18, not 29

Just because you have 800w of LED does not mean it can easily replace a 1k DE. I am still waiting on COBKITS to produce an efficiency chart readily available for his customers of all the chips he really pushes.
lol, cant make this up sadlyI see why so many people are venturing away from RIU. It has turned into the troll city of 420 around here. Sad days.
I want to build it in chunks, spend about $1000 at a time and keep adding to itHow about putting a budget out there for us to work with? You will get a number of validated options to consider. I like your priority list and based on that, I would go ultra high efficiency setup putting a lot up front into quality cobs.
Yeah but quantum boards though...

This thread got stupid a few pages back so yeah,weed though?

, it also seems like they are just going to keep getting better over the next year.
HPS is end all? Not hardly... I did the blurple thing like a dumbass then moved on. Running COBS at efficiency levels no better than DE is stupid and pointless. We are WAY past that but whatever. I built a light 2 years ago that was 45%+ efficient with COBS. Here we are 2 years later and people are eating up cobs at 49% efficiency and lower like its the 2nd coming of christ.Does Digikey provide an efficiency chart? No
Future Electronics? No
Mouser? No
They provide links to what the manufacture publishes. There is no obligation for them to hold customers hand and figure out the design for them. People charge money for that.
Not sure what your beef with Cobkits is or if you are just some stubborn dinosaur that thinks hps is the end all to be all.

All the leading edge guys are going with quantum boards for reasons of price, performance and efficiency.I want to build it in chunks, spend about $1000 at a time and keep adding to it

If I was starting now that's all I'd buy.
theyre definitely great tech. ill be stocking them when the new batch comes in. options are great
I think high density LED is a bit of a blind alley for our application. Wide light distribution improves efficiency, reduces the need for heatsinks or other cooling expense and cuts cost. These trends explain why plants and growers alike are responding so well to quantum board style technology.Bleeding edge is those who are trying to making qbs using cobs, aka high density cobs!
things aren't always mutual exclusive and if you can match two great things to make an even better thing, bonus. Plants already do it as shown with the Emerson Effect, so if a simple plant can figure it out, we should be able to.

When it's available I'm sure we'll use it. Until then, quantum boards will do nicely.Think of a film, similar to something like mylar that you could roll over a surface and plug in to create light.
That's where we are headed. Efficiency is the key to that reality.
