Lighting Thinking of adding a 4th cob,3500k or 6500k?

[Zipz55]

tent is 32x32x63 inches

Currently have 3 3500k autocobs in there and want to add a 4th cob

Should i get a 6500k to help with growth in the veg stage and resin in the flowering or just add a 4th 3500k?

Which one would you go with if it were you and why?

I would personally go with a 4th 3500K light. Uniformity of coverage. I think the 3500K is a good all-around light. If I were to get any other light, I’d go with a deep red to help with Bud development. But that’s just me.

I went ahead and ordered a 3500k yesterday

I didn’t even think about the 2700k

I think im gonna get 2 6500k and 2 2700k when I have the funds for it

The plan is to have 6 cobs in the tent.The 4 3500k will stay in there but I’ll use the 2 6500k during veg then switch them out for the 2700k during flowering then switch them back to the 6500k during late flowering for resin production

Right on. I am happy with my 6 3500k Autocobs.

I love my 6 only problem with them is they’re not 8. Lol I foresee another quad pack being shipped to my house in the future.

Ok I'm sorry for invading your page but I've got a question I've got some DIY cobs on a old LED panel and I've got 3 in each one of them I've got 2 so what I'm getting at would I get more efficiency out of 3 on a panel or 2 there 1212s and I'm thinking I'd get more out of 2 than 3 @Bigsmo can you help maybe. Thanks

If it works I’d leave it alone. Maxing these drivers isn’t a good idea. Awhile back I built a massive light with mars drivers and the drivers kept dying out on me. If you were to increase the efficiency slightly that doesn’t mean you’ll get that % more come yield time. It just means the light itself gives out a bit more light. For more light lowering it by an inch would increase the ppfd more than a small efficiency increase.
