Lighting Bigsm0 and the cob addiction

[AutoWonders]

I actually have a bit too much stretch going on and hope the tops will be ok

That's what happened to my last two plant test. Ended up with too much stretch. I'm gonna go lower with the autocobs for next test. Instead of perlite, I am trying out rice hulls.

But my Bubbatrouble is in dwc and under a 3500k cob and she never droops. So strain, set up, idk im thinking more of height restrictions and setup maybe the cause. Dwc is continuously pumping water in plant vs soil it's searching for water maybe. So plant is tired. Idk

@BigSm0 boy this dli topic sure has me curious and thinking, and I run my cobs pretty low Compton the majority few run them at my height also but slim few that is, I've had the most growth from seedlings at at 18-19/6-5 schedule, I tried the 24/0 but it took several days longer to get the growth I was getting at my normal schedule, but even on the big girls at 24/0 I couldn't get the growth either, but once I kept the temps at 74-77 and RH at 38-50 I've gotten explosive growth from everyone, I've been thinking that with my cobs I can get away with lower Rh levels during all stages and have a better growth rate outcome. Think when I do my strawberry nuggets test of scrog / no scrog, fabric air-pot / real plastic airpot , super soil vs soil with nute feed, im also going to try to test this light theory. But with a 18/6 vs 20/4 or 24/0 anybody have any opinions on this? Hell even my ghost pepper exploded under the versus the Chinese lights, sprouts were right up and bushy compared to long thin lanky stems like the Chinese lights were given off. Idk but im really ready to test these cobs for a balanced growth all around. Im stoned so im VB probably not making sense.

Also the electric to the tent has dropped almost 25 dollars a month now with the cobs that's my favorite part of them besides the swell and crystal action has really stepped up in my game now from them.

Never EVER had plants this healthy. The true test for me is in flower when I can’t seem to come close. Just about every grow at flower has been a slow decline to yellow. I do have smaller strains going in here so the scrog isn’t filled like usual but I’m just as happy to see the plants get proper amount of space.

They are absolutely amazing! For reference the big space is 4x10 with 7 plants, 7 AutoCobs and the floor space they are taking up is 2.5x7.5 with 4 AutoCobs and not a yellow leave in sight. I love Greenleaf Nutrients!

What's your feed schedule? MC and what else from GL? Curious how much MC and Calmagpro you are using in particular with the autocobs and autoflowers. That's what everyone is running these days so would be good to see what the master COB dude is doing. and don't get all modest bro. Your plants look awesomely good.

I used 4.5g/gallon of MC in peak veg, then dialed it back to 3.5g/gallon for flower. Calmagpro was 1 in veg then 1.5 in flower.

There is about a 4 week difference between these pictures I’ve never had a problem with getting my plants to stretch with the autocobs I use 2-3500, 2-4000 and 2-6500 I actually have a bit too much stretch going on and hope the tops will be ok

Damn now this is a grow to keep an eye on.

This is what I’m running. After reading people literally dumping this stuff in I went a little higher than I normally would have. All based on 20 gallons but I do run between 25-30 gallons

With mega I start at 1, then 2 in veg and 4 in late veg. The additions are probably not needed but really all that’s added extra is algae extract in veg and sweet candy in flower. Bud explosion is for a short time. How can anyone pass that one up?

Someone also mentioned gravitron. I highly recommend people do NOT use it. Just google pgr’s. Commercial growers are using it but it’s actually some pretty nasty stuff. Non residential turf grass only!!!!! So if your not walking on it daily it’s ok. Who in their right mind would add this?

That is fantastic. Got to love saving the greenbacks.
