Hey, lets give charades a go to try and guess the reasons that you cannot disclose. I don't do pics either.

It's lies. All lies. He's a DEA agent. Lol

@BigSm0....talk to me about the reflectors for my autocobs. When do you use them? I’m flowering now and things are looking awesome, but am I missing some benefit of the reflectors? Think I read they create a tighter light pattern. 2 autocobs and open CMH.

Thank you sir!

The past several grows I have been using reflectors for veg only. Next run no reflectors. It's pretty intense light with those reflectors. I did a side by side grow a while back with and without reflectors. Veg grew faster with reflectors. At this point I do not feel there was enough of a difference to continue using. Next is a side by side with Coco Loco and Fox Farms new coco Plain Jane Big Boy Pants.

I used coco loco for a few grows liked it but when I switched to botanicare readygro wow what a difference. You’ll probably like the big boy coco better it’s straight coco maybewith perlite I forget I’m Sure u know.

Getting a lot of messages about the additional spectrums available that are now back in stock. The 3500k cob is the full spectrum work horse. These additional cobs should be used in conjunction to an already lit space. Or if you have a dedicated veg or flower space.

2700k 90 cri is a deep red, similar to the spectrum in hps. It is best for flower or supplementing flower.

3000k 90cri also has a boost in red. Similar to the 3500k with a boost in red and a small decrease in blue.

6500k 80cri is unlike the rest. Very blue! This cob has very little red and a big boost in blue. I have seen it really boost the resin in plants at the end of their life. It’s also a great cob for seedlings and a veg boost to help keep plants shorter with less stretch.

The non technical part, I have flowered under 6500k and vegged under 2700k and didn’t see any grow changing differences. All these cobs will do well for any stage of growth.

I absolutely love my lights. I have one of each the 2700k and 6500k and it may be my imagination, but I think the girls like it. I have two to four 3500ks on in my tent at anytime along with the appropriate supplemental cob hanging dead center. On cloudy days I pull up a chair to the tent and read a book.

Great picture! This really shows off the difference. Red without the disco effect is just a bonus.
