Lighting how many lights for one plant?

[lunarman]

Just finishing off a crop of 8 plants and there is 1 left that I am trying to get very amber purely for medical reasons. Thought I'd see about taking part of the autocobs inventory not in use now and some other bulbs and fixtures to do this. I know this is totally overkill. And way to much daily light integral if you believe in that sort of thing.

2 autocobs on top.
3 autocobs side lighting the lower buds. one of them is that super bright white light at the back of the tent shining right at your eyes.
That's overkill right there, but we're not done yet.
1 600 watt HPS providing some red spectrum and some heat as well. the orange bright light up top under a reflector
1 medical grade UVB to make it extra greasy. The blue tube light up top.

Got them at a distance that isn't causing any burn or tacos and everything seems pretty good. Buds are really greasy. Its a Mephisto Sour Livers on day 85.

I'm not the poster boy for making a point of how you can reduce your power bill with autocobs right now. But I'd be glad to speak about the bennies of using multiple autocobs on top and the sides of plants. Gotta love these autocobs for their flexibility.

I hope that you are using eye protection. Nice looking plant in the boxing ring.

I use polycarbonate safety glasses when the UVB light is on, which is 15 mins once per hour right now. I was warned about that early by might have been you actually. Thanks bro.

Yeah that light can blind u. It’s
Not even good for your skin I believe.

what the heck is the matter with you pussies!!!!

This is supposed to be fun. Have a good laugh at an excessive lighting setup, no? God, sometimes I wonder if everyone is so wasted they lost their sense of having some fun with growing. I can add about 4 T5 lights to this if that would perk you peeps up a bit. Or another 600 watt HPS if you guys are near dead.

Ya Mizzo bro, that's where it's at. Atta shed some "light" humor on the situation.

I have a big ass jug of SPF40 sunscreen out in the tent now. Have to lather some on before I go inside so I don't get a sunburn like this.

@lunarman @BigSm0 here's results so far from my mentor you send the 2 [HASHTAG]#autocob's[/HASHTAG] to. 1 cob 1 plant

What up peeps. Riddle me this, I have a friend ,actually one of my mentors, who finally after almost a year I convinced to try autoflowers, autocobs and MC. I even got him the 2 autocobs and his seeds. Here's where he's blowing my mind. He doesnt ph nor does he increase or decreases his MC/SC mix he feeds the same from start to finish grows in 1.99 potting soil and heres his results so far. Mephisto Chem doggin the biggest and oldest plant and Bubba Trouble is 2 weeks behind both have just 1 of @BigSm0 autocobs over them. I did have him add 1tbsp Epsom salt for mag issue just in case
