Yeah well, i think cos’ of the lamp, it is required; way too much light.
I like its footprint it’s 4’x4’, while only consuming 660w at the wall, you can buy also UV and Far Red bars to put them on for the last two weeks or so… That is perfect for me, cos’ my tent is 4’x4’ and it’s gonna be locked in a sealed room, it gets hot too; so this will make the plant withstand the little more heat… And if not, I’ll cool the room with an old portable 12,000BTU A/C I got here somewhere.
But about the lamp, see for yourselves! PPF: 1410 µmol/s on all its foot print.
Happy Harvest!

Yeah, I was going to mention the quantum boards to you after you brought up the canopy 10, I was thinking of maybe building something with both quantum boards and cobs together in one light… The quantum boards are more efficient than the cobs but are less intense, But I think a mix would be awesome. I’m a cheapskate though and like to get LED’s as cheap as possible.
You can get the new citizen clu058 3618 for $50 each and they can handle over 500w if pushed 100 percent but I would run them at 50 percent for efficiency but that would still be like 250w a cob for $50 so you could spend $200 on cobs that put out 1,000+ watts at half power of course you would still need the power supplies for them but for about $400-500 I could build one hell of a light. 1,000 watt LED is equal to at least 1,500 watts worth of HPS lights.
Well that is my plan anyways, is to build my next light using the citizen clu058 3618 cobs and a few other red, blue and uv leds .

Hey @Dee.S73, i’m thinking about it really. So far i’ve only bought, a tent 4x4, inline fan 6", carbon filter, pots, phmeter, a couple of timers, a set of bubblebags and a led packet microscope… LOL.
I’ve got nothing to worry about for the grow (moneywise), i’m selling stuff i’ve been hoarding for a long time and turning it into something i will actually use. No revenue from my work whatsoever is going to growing marijuana. Not one cent. That’s for my kids.
So, anyway, we’ll see what happens friends.
HppHrvst!
Yeah a co2 tank, regulators and emitters will cost you enough that you could set up another grow or get another spyderXD its something people buy that cant grow good herb so they hope itll help;) or you have a sealed room. Neither of which i have a problem with. Spend the money on building a good notill soil instead of the coco you chose.

Hey @lotus710! Actually i was looking at videos and reading about it and my tent will be vented but it’s also gonna be in a little storage room, locked up. I’m gonna spend that money on another tent 4x2, in order to propagate, veg and have mothers… Heck, even pollinate a plant or two separate from the fruit chamber… Ideas are running thru my head like cars on the Autobahn… But i realize i don’t want to run an experimental grow, so that’s it. I’m getting a veggie lamp or a couple or tled bars for the little tent and the Spydrx plus for the fruit one…
PS.: Maybe if i sell the kimonos, all of them, and get enough dough, i will buy the co2 controller and a co2 propane generator, to keep it inside the storage room, but outside the tent; that way the enviroment inside the actual storage room will always be at 1500ppm co2… Again, just another idea!

Yeah bro. Scrap that ideaXD you need to seal a room, not just lock it up. This means urethan spraying, no vents, mini split ac, sealed door, absolutely 0 light leaks, sealed sealed sealed, etc. Youre gonna spend 10grand on getting a minisplit and getting it installed. Thats gonna cost you more then selling stuff you dont need in electricity alone. Not to mention setup costs.

I’ts not that i’m not humble, on the contrary. I feel i ask so many questions because i know i’m new and just wanna do everything perfect (OCD), but at the same time i’m very impulsive and need to hold my horses. Thanks for the wise words of advise, “KIS”. Will do, anyway, i’ll keep bothering you guys for a while if its ok.
Happy Harvest. And God bless ya all…
