Hi AFN heads,
just toying with ideas for my next set up and would appreciate some input..
(not a new grower but never done auto or indoors so technically new)
I have a couple Qs and would be grateful for any advice.
1. Are COB lights better than normal LED in terms of harvesting a large yield w/o sacrificing potency ?
2. Are R&B (or R&B normal LED) better than Warm White Neutral White or Cold White for an entire grow, or just a specific period i.e. vegging/flowering?
3. I read somewhere that reflective surfaces aren't be helpful for LED, in that case does that negate the need for a tent if temps & humidity can be controlled easily?
4. a) What sort of lighting set up would you recommend for 4 autoflowers, with the aim being maximum yield?
b) Would two 300w R&B COBs at 45 degree angles throughout the grow be the most efficient, or would I benefit from having one NW one RB?
c) Would throwing in a HID toplight or sidelight be beneficial, and if so what would you recommend?
5. Can anyone stand by/recommend any COB manufacturers based off experience?
6. Again off experience, which auto strains tend to be the big yielders?
I realise it's a fair bit to ask and appreciate any help at all, thanks in advance.
Regards
EzLee
