Are they bigger or better or both? Strips vs. COBS?
LED panels. Two 240 watt lights 2'x4' size each. Got em for free from a job I did a few yrs back. They used to be outdoor tennis court lights before I got ahold of them. lol. A few dim diodes in there, but they do friggin awesome for the veg room. Can keep em pretty high above the plants and have em not get all stretchy.
The ones in the tent are an old blurple 100w, and a home made 100w led bulb fixture for the other half of it. It does alright for veg plants, or flowering males.
I have all the stuff to make a badass 500w 12 cob light except for the heat sinks, that'd be a flowering light though for that one.
I was going to assemble some of the parts with what you'd brought by to add into the tent, get some real light in there. Two cobs only, using those sinks that came with em.
Did you have those fans cooling the heat sinks for those, or were they able to run passive without overheating?
Here is how I like to bansi style HS takes tons of patience.

Very selective about leaving nodes behind.

Love trimming em up and making them grow the way you want em to. For sure does take patience though, maybe thats part of the lesson. lol
Badass with the pictorial.
J and I have some little bonsai trees up stairs in the window, very fun hobby playing with the plants, and watching em respond.
Yeah, HS sure does pack on the nodes, and gets so bushy. I've already been trimming that undergrowth from them, leaving as much of the main leafage as possible so she'll keep going strong. Waiting to flip anyone else til vacation time, then I'll trim them up real nice, and off to the flower room they go. The clones are sure taking off, didn't lose a single cutting from them, all 11 took. They'll become the seed bearers, and the momma's will be for smoking.
