I wasn’t aware they had other products I’ve been doing a lot of reading up on the mega crop and think I’m going to be using it for my next grow which will be double grape

You won’t be disappointed. I did run a weaker mix with the double grape since they are smaller strains. Mega and calmag in veg, little less mega, calmag and sweet candy in flower. You should see a dramatic increase.

Thanks for posting this. My opinion on this is very strong and I will not change it. It’s not a Paranoid fantasy. The Monsanto roundup coverup and the fact that it’s still for sale just about everywhere. I don’t care what labeling it has or if our skin blocks it from entering out bodies. It’s nasty stuff. It’s ridiculously over priced and I didn’t see the slightest difference in my plants. My opinion

All good

Hi!

This question might have been answered already.
I was just wondering what the spread of the light is as I'm planning my next grow.

I'm gonna do one 5 gallon or 2 x 3 gallons, with autocob - mars 48 reflector - autocob. All at the same height which as far as I've understood is around 16 inches.

Will the Mars be in the way of the light spread of the 2 cobs if I place it between them?
Is there a minimum distance between the cobs?

I think 2-3gsllon would be much better than one 5 gallon. What size space are you in? I’m guessing a 2x2 or 2x4. For a 2x2 I wouldn’t go with more than 2 cobs, it’s already near maxed. For a 2x4 you could run the mars in the middle. With 2 cobs and the one panel it would be like having 3 cobs.

@Cookieman , What this guy said!
He knows his stuff.
How’s it going @BigSm0? Long time since I said hey. Hope all is well. Loving my autocobs, all 11 of them!!

Yeah I got 2x4 tent. (height about 5 feet, 150cm)
Aight I'll try 2 x 3 gallon and the setup I planned.
Thanks!

I use my mars lights as doormats now , when you can id replace that 48 with another cob

Distance, i start cobs out at 35 inches and by harvest as close as possible so far thats about 15-20" feeding megacrop.. Other nute lines i couldnt get closer then 25" without some issues

8 inches from the buds in full bloom with and without reflectors using MC and the resin is flowing. Only one leaf even dared to show a little taco. I could never get this close during veg or early flower.

This is making me think about how close I can put my USHIO Germicidal-UV-B-lamp now. Right now its about 4 feet on average. Set to run 15 minutes every 2 hours. I could probably increase the duration or frequency and reduce the distance too. Trouble is I might not watch is close enough to catch any fatal burning if it happens.

Not sure about that bulb but when I move the cobs closer I check on them hourly for at least the first day.
