Ave icmaggers. I am planning a micro grow project, it will be my very first grow and the planning is nearing completion. However I stumblez upon the LED section lol, and now I want some input on what lighting setup I should go for. I have two in mind but please feel free to give other advice.
1st:
3-4 PLL bulbs with variyng color temps, am thinking about 1 3000k, 1 5000k and 2 4000ks.
This will cost me about 120 euros incl ballasts and shipping.
2nd:
Two cree cxa3070s, maybe one 3000k and one 4000k. These will cost about 140 euros incl shipping and two Mean Well LPC-60-1400 ballasts but not including heatsinks/fans.
My main concern is really about the soldering of the crees as I have never soldered anything before in my life and I dont want to end up destroying them.
The cab is 71 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 97 cm high and i might make it NGB style or with small veg/mom chamber on top with shorter flowerinf chamber, or just make a big flower area and have veggies/moms in seperate cab.
Any input is greatly appriciated.
And there we go, 50th post lol.
