Lighting Took the autocob plunge

[Ydijadoit]

Count me in for a two-pack of 3500k lights, ordered today. If you had asked me a few years ago about LED grow lights, I would have barfed on my shoes. My, how a few years can change opinions!
I've been out of the growing game for 2.5 years, and I was shocked when I joined up here, and started snooping the grow journals. The LED, and especially the COB grows are mind-blowing.
Really looking forward to trying these. I am kicking myself for missing the black friday special, but the funds were low here, in November.
Regards, Kyle

Man watt for watt u can’t go wrong. I recently have 5 big healthy girls vegging under one. Wasn’t supposed to be but the other girls r taking longer then expected. Either way the growth shown under one light at 55 watts is unreal. Don’t underestimate their power. Very good choice in lights. Good growin to ya and have fun gettin back into growin.

I saw your plants in another thread, and they look very healthy! I have a 3x3 tent, and two waterfarms on the way, along with the autocobs. My current attempt, growing in a soil mix is truly a sad, pitiful sight. Need to get my feet "back in the water", and I am pumped to try these lights over some waterfarms. I ordered reflectors with them, but I am not sure if I will need them in the small tent.

I would run them without, in that space all the reflector will do is focus the light were without would allow it to spread all over. Just my .02 either way you wont regret the cobs. Good luck brother

Thank you for the order. They are shipping tomorrow morning and should arrive Thursday or Friday the latest. Amazon prime

I too started with led and it really was a disappointment. It’s actually a good learning experience and my motivation now to sell cobs. Hitting the same par wattage of these “300” watt lights with much less. More and more grows are proving this and it’s great knowing so many people are actually saving serious money each month. You may see a $10 monthly electric bill increase and shouldn’t have any additional heat issues with the 470 btu’s 2 cobs generate. It’s actually less heat than an active person generates. As for the reflectors I’d save them for middle to late flower when the plants in full flower mode. The cobs do generate plenty of light and without proper nutrients helping them it’s almost to much light in veg. If you have any questions I’m always around.
Thanks again.

You'd think that was the case, however I put two reflectors back on and those two plants (Stilton & Blue Kush) are doing a little better than before. My current grow is mostly a test with the cobs and as well as testing the pushing of heavier nutes. I think running the cobs around the clock is a little too much light. In future I shall institute 2 hours lights off rest. Still much to learn from cobs.

Interesting stuff. I have a lux app on my phone to play with, maybe that will show a difference with/without the reflector. I know it doesn't measure PAR directly, but maybe I can get some idea from playing with it. My childish side loves the look of these lights with the reflector. Reminds me of a rocket engine nozzle. Lol. That said, I'm unlikely to achieve liftoff anytime soon, so whatever configuration grows best, wins. (Unless I spend one more dollar on grow gear, in which case, my dear Wife's foot up my ass may rival an Apollo launch, after all)
Thanks for the input guys, this is all new territory for me!

Thank YOU, for the fast shipping, and all the support you take the time to offer here. Obviously, it's good business practice, but it's also apparent that you want to help people, and not just make a few bucks. I've gotta say, that's refreshing!
Keep up the good work, and thanks for the great service, especially at this time of the year, with all the family and holiday stuff going on!

This guy is top notch. He even helps the people who don't buy from him. Which in my opinion is what makes him truly top notch.

Once you go KAHBS, thats it. ESPECIALLY for smaller areas. They are the lights I would use even if I had a warehouse.....but to me, the REAL spot that makes em shine is the ability to turn a little area into a very feasible grow area. Just about everyone has a few square feet that could be turned into a spot that spits out top notch dope. With Autos, no more multiple rooms required....hell, you don't even need a freaking timer anymore. That's silly. I've spent a couple hundred just on timers for old school growing....and a small fortune on exhaust work and fanage to vent the ridiculous heating element that is loving referred to as "high pressure sodium". With a 4" inline fan, you could turn under the sink into a starter nursery with LEDs....and by LEDs I mean KAHBS and or Quantum Boards only. I hate Blurple lights. No where in nature have I ever seen anything like that or even remotely close. And for crying out loud people....turn the blurple off to take pictures! I'm sure you've seen this: "Hey, (insert green thumb user here), what's wrong with my plants? I took these psychedelic pictures on my 25mp Galaxy S14 and was wondering what these spots on my leaves are?" Anyone? Lol.

Maybe it's this?
