Lighting Cobshop.net info, questions and answers

Just arrived? I'm cranking the lights out as fast as I can. Looks like it's paying off. What's the height your at? Heat is a thing of the past. 2-3 in that tent should maintain temps fairly well on its own.
Yup! Got here this morn. I think I ordered it Thursday morning or something. It got here super fast. I just lowered it so now it 15 inches from the tallest cola and 19 away from the shortest. My room is sooo much quieterm without hps. My tent looks soo much cleaner without all the ducting everywhere! Im officially in stealth mode now hahaa..

Were you running a 600w hps before?
 
Yeah.. In a 4x4. But I downsized to a 2.5x2.5. I just want to get good at growing two awesome plants at time and become a better grower. I was doing too much! Lol.. I was going to take the summer off due to heat issues.. But by May I'll have a few Autocobs in there and be ready to rock through these summer months!

Summer heat is murder. I was running close to 3000 watts while 2500 were cobs and still had to suffer with an Ac cranking. I down sized my new Ac to 12k btu as I'm running more solo cobs, placed better and spread out as my plants need them. This should really save me a lot of money in energy costs too. We talk about cob efficiency a lot but grow room efficiency can save just as much.

Question for you @Prophetiko. How are the 15 and 19 inch distances working for you?
 
Its been about 15 hrs so far and the leaves on all plants are praying to the light as they say. And I have 3 plants that are in their last week or so of flower under it, and they seems happy so far. I may switch to 24/0 from 18/6 to finish up this run. I think I read somewhere that 16" was the sweet spot. What distance do you use for your set up?
 
I was really curious as currently my 30 day old ladies would be fried at 19 inches. I am at 30 inches as I have had to keep backing them off. I was burning the edges of the leaves. Remember each plant reacts differently and I run 24/0 start to finish. This is why I love the independence of the AutoCob. I am running 4 of them in a 3 x 4 cab. Since I have so much white light now I am stuffing that cab to take advantage of it. If they are praying to the "Light of Cob" you are in the sweet spot for that plant. If the leaves start to curl, the edges brown or the leaves turn down back off the light. Good luck as we all learn together the nuances of the AutoCob created by @BigSm0.
