Hello everyone,
I'm late to post a thread since my grow has been going on for about a month now but I wasn't expecting to do anything special with this grow, then i had some free time and wanted to test once and for all if LEDs were worth it after about 3 years of testing different "off-the-shelf" brands that didn't give me the results I was expecting.
I had a Sweet Tooth and a Pineapple Express (growing under Apollo Purple Sun C.O.B LEDs) when I ordered the CREE LEDs model number CXA3590, they are full spectrum and draw around 150w each. I also ordered nice drivers for each LED running at 1.4 amps with variable voltage.
Once everything arrived, I used the chassis of two old blackstar 240s I had to assemble my grow light and used gaming pc heatsinks over each led (2 LEDs per chassis).

This is turning into a wall of text so I'll just summarize what I'm using for this grow and if there is interest I'll go into more detail.
I'm using General Hydroponics floranova series nutrients as well as most GH additives.
I try to keep the P.H. around 6 and my last bucket was around 900ppm.
Here are a few pictures of the Sweet Tooth which overgrew the Pineapple. The first and second set of picture are 7 days apart.
1st set


2nd set (turned off one of the LEDs because I felt it was overkill)



Thank you for your time if you have any question feel free to ask.
