Lighting Help buying a new light

[Larry Live]

Im under diy cobs as well and my girls love it. If you're not into diy, @BigSm0 sells pre-made cob-based lights called auto cobs that are plug-n-play and reasonably priced. Plus, he has a lot of knowledge about lighting that he's always willing to share. I have a couple of those I use as supplemental lighting for flowering.

I seen the autocobs. They look great.
Its 249.00 for 2 of them.

I changed from hps to led a few months ago and had to convince myself...so I bought a cheapo 600w led ...50 bucks. Attached is a pic of a Pineapple Express auto that was grown under that light exclusively and convinced me to buy more. I now have 2 -600w LEDs and 1 autocob...so far, looks like I'll be growing some monsters in my little tent! Having been used to small yield from my small pots and hps, I'm now astounded at results I'm getting under led/cobs.

Wow looks great.
I grow for a hobby.
I dont even smoke.
I just enjoy growing.
I let friends and family have it.
I was looking at auto cobs.
I am looking at a 600w led viparspectra

I moved to led about a year ago, a little more I guess, came from HID. I saw lots of grows going at the time with those lights, not a lot of pics or vids from harvest... made me a bit nervous as I expected similar results to HPS. Have seen a few on here since, they grow plants, but, I would have been very disappointed coming over from what I had.
Lots of great options, cob shops cobs are great, timber kits are good too. I'm a passive cooling kind of guy, the need for fans etc are more places for failure, but we all make our choices.

Viparspectra will work, but I would guess you'll be looking to upgrade pretty soon.

Yes i will be soon.
It will auto cobs or optic 1

They draw very little power and produce almost no heat. I think he gives a discount for AFN members

 

[Larry Live]

Ok so i see a 900w viparspectra for 249.00.
i can get 2 autocobs for 249.00.
They have a optic 2 also for 249.00

My tent is 31x31x60 inches
Which choice of these 3 light options should i get in your opinion.
Again i grow just as a hobby.

I would go with the Autocobs, the viparspectra uses about 400w, way more then the other 2 so you will save on electricity alone by going cobs, I just upgraded from a 900w viparspectra myself to quantum boards and I'm glad i did, lower electricity bills, better quality buds, lower tent temps and there really slim so can maximise the tent height.

Thank you for the reply.

You won’t second guess the decision when you plug them in. Thank you @Larry Live
