Lighting Bigsm0 and the cob addiction

[Dudeski]

Any ideas on how to set up the lights if I just ran 3 3500’s and one 6500? Or should i just shoot for the 4 3500’s and add the 6500 during the last 2.5 weeks of life?

I would use the 6500 the whole grow. I love, absolutely love mine!

Hmm maybe I’ll run 3 straight across with the 6500 in the center.

That's how I'm running right now over 2 plants. It's more light than they really need but I'm keeping distance between the tops.

Will 4 3500k and one 6500k be too much light in 3x3x6?

M8 u don't need 6500k if u do only autos I've got 5 citi 1212 clu048 3500k from over a year now used had them in 80cm x 80m x 160 now same 5 cobs in 1.2m x 1.2m just on wider frame 75cm

It’s the same concept as supplementing metal halide in an hps grow. Sure it’s not necessary to add the blue but the consensus and my own personal experience is that the extra blue does help increase resin. It doesn’t have much to do with the size of the plants even though it is giving more light.

Finally! Should be a few more days before I get the final weight. So far it looks to be pretty good.

Babies are off to a super slow start but I hope they pick up speed now since they are in their new home. 17!!! Auto Gorillas in total. Probably fit 8 in the 3 trays if I cram them. 3,2,3. 4 in the AutoCob room and 5 of the smallest on the opposing wall where I plan to do some testing. More light, less light, spectrum changing.

This is what’s left. These bigger 2 are AutoGorilla and the other 3 are double grape. Definitely different pheno’s.

Double Grape.

Gorilla

Looks bare on that wall! That was a lot of trimming. Great grow buddy.

Awesome BigSmo! You are on 100% auto watering I presume.

Looks great and I agree. I setup my big tent for just the auto's and have only the 3500K AutoCob's in there
