Oops ! I should have gotten the lights in the photo too.

Here you go. The last photo has the oddball short pheno included up front too. Enjoy !

Thanks a ton for the pictures Rifleman. This is one of the best if not best grows under the AutoCobs.
It looks like only 3 cobs in there and the individual adjusting is in full force. I’m only going by pictures but if you were to have a large frame over the uneven plants the shorter one would be receiving about 1/3 the light as the taller ones. All light diminishes rapidly and so much wattage is wasted due to this. You have it nailed!

I'm loving the adjustability. In past grows if I had a shorter pheno, I had to boost the bucket up using cut 2x4s. I always worried one would manage to wiggle it's way off and into the floor. No problems now, I just lower the light. So far I'm finding about 20" above canopy works best for me. The next crop I'll try to get them a little closer and see how that works.

Yes. Both so far. Started around 30 inches until they were established, then dropped to 20 and have kept it there. Just past day 50 so I'm open to adjustments as I find they are needed. I'm expecting harvest around the end of Jan.

I got mine around 24 inches and I'm keeping it there and see and if they don't do no good I'm vegging my clones and hell to autos.

Just wanted to throw out a quick voucher for the man himself @BigSm0 he's been unbelievable with customer service as well as speed of service. Had been talking with him for a few weeks, finally made a decision, ordered and paid yesterday. Woke up this morning to 4 3500k cobs waiting on my doorstep! Can't wait to set them up and get these bad girls running. Thank you again!!

Thank you cool bunny. I did a quick count, 16 hours from the time we spoke to the time they arrived. Don’t tell anyone but I slipped my USPS driver a joint for Xmas. He is like Santa clause delivering my gifts now at record speeds.

Hopefully that slows them down a little. All the carries drive way too fast in my neck of the woods.
