Hey Dtom. I do have a lot of parts on order. For now just the 3500k is available.
There has been many changes recently with overseas purchases. I’m still holding strong and making the AutoCob but most of the parts do cross countries. Trade war and even this latest with the virus has slowed things down.
PM'd you, I need to add to my collection.
48 hours from order to my door.. 48 hours! Was hoping it would arrive this week, but wasn't expecting it that quick.. thanks @BigSm0
Pulled the trigger on qty2 3500k!
Hope they get shipped before the border is closed, damn Covid-19!
Looking forward to setting up indoor. Last time was 22 years ago, quite a bit has changed!

I've only grown hydro with GH nutes in the past. I grew for a year then gave it up due to health issues and got rid of my whole set up. I am wanting to get back into growing and my new set up will consist of a 3x3x6' tent. 2 autocobs. 1 autoflower from Barneys Farm called "Zkittles OG Auto". My grow medium is soil="biobizz lightmix". One 3 gallon grow bag. My nutrients will be Greenleaf Nutrients Mega Crop. I've never grown in soil so my first time. Do I need to worry about PH or ppm with this setup? And will a 6 foot tent be tall enough for the cobs or shud I go with a 7 foot tent? If i grow this 1 plant successfully i will add on another tent with another plant and keep going every harvest til I grow enough for me and my wife in between harvests. Any advice for me and answer my questions please wud be so much appreciated.
Most of the poor reply times and even my absence here is the trade off for the fastest shipping in the industry. Everyone knows I get personal with Cobshop and this may be the time for yet another spout. Some of the things I have done to get lights out fast most would think is absurd. Even went as far as trying to overnight 1800 pounds half way across the country. I found out that no amount of money can make it happen but 2 day was secured. It’s been over 4 years and to this day I haven’t listed the revolutionary 3500k out of stock. Planning this out had also turned out to be a part time job. The payoff for me is seeing a message like yours. So thank you!
I’m happy to see you back to it. Growing as you know is extremely rewarding in many ways. You’ll probably find that soil growing is a bit easier too.
As far as the tent goes I always tell people to go with the biggest tent you can afford and fit in your space. It will save you from a future upgrade and you don’t have to fill it to grow a good group of plants either. If you have a tent that’s becoming to short by rapidly growing plants there are loads of great tutorials on low stress training. I personally train my plants even when height isn’t an issue. During the initial grows it may be worth taking ppm numbers down. Not as much for measurement numbers for the feed but measurement numbers for future grows. You can always look back and see what you did and at what times.
There are a lot of growers that have a good greenleaf schedule down and could be a good starting point.
In my opinion I think Ph is important too. The input ph does affect the final Ph. Some growers, myself included have a higher input which works out to a perfect Ph when nutrients are added. I don’t have to adjust but you and others may need to. I hope this helps!

How do we prevent bugs or fungus gnats in soil? I had gnats in my drop setup. Pissed me off. I decided to grow hydro before because I thought you couldn't get fungus gnats in hydro. Lol I was wrong.
