Thanks again @BigSm0 ! I'm now at 6 in my 4x4 and I'll be ordering 3 more in the next two weeks for my 2x4. I was thinking thsee are 55w...are they now 60w? ..or is the pull from the wall 60 but light output 55?..not sure how that all works

How many 12 12 COB's would be needed for a 8Lx4Wx6H tent?

Hard question to answer without more info. Autos or photos etc...
But generally 6-9 and I have even seen some pit up to 12 in a 4x4

@Jewbilee That tent is mostly photo's

From what I understand, and I know @BigSm0 has done some work in this area and can probably explain better than i, photos can take more light than autos do.
You can think of it in terms of total photons absorbed. Since photos flower in 12 hours of light, they can take more light.
Autos, flowering in 18-24 hours of light, need fewer lights in the tent as there is more photon absorption over time.
Ppfd+hours of light= total light

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.

Great looking plant you definitely have the light you need but room for more. I run 6 3500k in my 5x5 intending on adding 3 more for 9 total. Having all that space to herself the only thing I woulda done different is a defol, topped every node, added another scrog, then flipped to 12/12 a week or 2 later. That's just my style when growing big photos. Beautiful plant any idea what strain?

Sry got to rambling and forgot my point. After using autocobs myself I wouldn't hesitate to run 6 in your 4x4
