Lighting Autocob grow with big sm0 and mephisto.

Maybe some pictures will help. Just raised the lights and added a third autocob. Got a deal from the owner.

This room was lit with a DIY cob frame I mad about 7 months ago. It worked well for veg but for whatever reason these plants are doing so much better under these. The bar frame I had left a hot spot in the center and the edges were always dim. Now with the singles the spread is very even. It's bright as anything I have seen yet and the plants are responding well to it.

Slow and steady. Just added reflectors to the autocobs which seems to increase the light at the canopy by a lot. Plant health is spot on, growth is great and wattage is still at 165 at the wall.

Can I see the reflectors you added Smo, when you get a chance. Please.

They look like little glow domes

Thats them, really focus the light into a tighter area. I haven't used mine, yet. I like to get some light spread to the next plant.

The testing I did the reflectors helped the plants even 16" away. Even on a horizontal plane. I will draw up something explaining what I mean. Ill never go without reflectors again.

Nice info! I have them for my two single cobs. Probably should dig them out
