Well my electric bill went up about £150 over 3 months with my current lights so I'm paying nearly a grand a year on electric now. Not end of the world as I've stopped buying bud since starting doing this. Meaning UK economy gets my money and not the dead head dope dealers!

Could I achieve 5Oz from one COB inside my set up growing out one plant? I'm after 5Oz each time ideally.

Boo your Auto Ultimate looks a beast and that was under LED.

I find my buds since growing all look amazing on the plant, the tops of the main colas have nice dense frosty buds at the top and the further down, or the colas not as tall, really lack any density.

Furthermore to my problem a 70 day plant took 13 weeks under my current leds. So extra 3weeks energy that couldn't be used starting another - so they are expensive in the long run although initially cheap to buy!

My environment doesn't help the matter but I'm sure it's the lights.

I personally haven't used the cobs yet but @autobeast got 6oz dried from 1 plant using 2 cobs

Yeah the auto ultimate looks good but my others grows dry the same as yours...top buds are nice but lower are fluffy lol

There's a cob section on here where you can see what people are achieving with these lights

U Would defo achive 5 oz and more with cobs with 1 plant.my first go under cobs.i run migro 200 cobs, i got 6 oz off 1 plant happy growing every1

I'm planning on one plant a time. When it hits flower and is about 2/3 weeks away will prepare another to go in after.

I just want some proper nice dense stinking nuggets, like everyone else. I've grown out close to 10Oz from 3 plants on my last run under the current lights and yeah it's a good effort etc but the quality is lacking and I'd swap 10Oz of okay bud for say 5oz of proper top shelf stuff anyway.

So I need to get it right this time. These HD130's look good especially at £150 but without seeing or receiving proof they work I'm very sceptical still

than you should go with @BigSm0 autocob,or tgl 60... That is proven stuff that works..

Cheapest option is DIY. It's not that hard to DIY.

NotaClue plants are not going to finish in 70 day's because the breeder says so it's all advertising if they say 10 weeks it's 12. Fluffy lower buds are popcorn buds they roll real nice or trim them off so the plant can focus on the upper buds development if you don't want them it's called lollipopping. If in UK buy a telos 6 just save your money a week at a time that's how I got mine, dont trade junk for junk if you want to upgrade do it right as opposed to right away. You have equipment that works try lollipoping with your current set up and save for the right lamp it's worth it in the end, good luck bro.

Also consider 2 plants at 70 grams a plant and 2 new plants every 5 weeks much easier to do than pull over a half pound on 1 plant dude.

And appreciate all input here guys thank you.

Big Smo would be and will be my goto for cobs in the future. Right now just isn't a viable option for me, as the current set up will be gone in 6 months when I move and have more space. So I just want something cheap and cheerful to give me nice buds.

If a cob 100w will do me a good plant;

Wise words mate. And in fairness, exactly how I feel about it.

I'll go back to a bigger tent with a 600w hps eventually as always got best results under that.

I've bought shite and bought twice as warned before I even bought ; but persuading the other half to stump up the cash required goes down like a lead balloon
