Lighting Mephisto Grape Crinkle x2 first bigsm0 Auto Cob Grow 24 hrs lights on

Whoa! Hope you have enough height for them.

Tent is about 5.5 feet tall, tallest plant I've grown is about 3 feet tall, I'm not growing monsters... yet lol. I was kind of curious does the 50w per square foot not matter with cobs? I was always told for my space 200w is optimal, 4 square feet = 200. I'll only be at what? 165w I think? I mean i know they run a lot more efficient than other led's and I've seen what they can do but I'd imagine you could only squeeze so much bud out of 1 cob. Don't get me wrong I love these lights so far as far as light output and intensity, virtually no heat, but they ain't magical (wait now that I think about it, maybe they are lol) 3 cobs wouldn't hurt would it?

Back to the daily light integral. I have a long comment I was going to leave yesterday in the q&a Section about this exact question. Not done yet but it's coming. You were told by a photo grower I assume. 110 watts for 24 hours is more than 200w On a photo period plant. 110x24 200x12 50w per sq' is also the maximum for photos. Most are doing photos with much less and still achieving amazing results. My last 19oz photo was done with 20watts per sq foot.
I'm not saying you are wrong. There is this big misconception that autos need the same light as photos. If you were growing photos I would be all for the 3rd.
 
Day 29.

The one on the right already has a dank smell to it, when I water and touch the leaves it's pretty pungent, hopefully my phresh filter will take care of it in flowering.

I'm still waiting for the explosion that all of my other grows have had around this time, from what I seen about this strain it doesn't get really big so I'm not so sure yet.

@BigSm0 Is there any way of telling which one is 3500k and the 4000k one? Just curious cus that's what I have right now. Plus id be ablle to throw the 4k in the middle no big deal tho shouldnt be that much difference between 3500 and 4000k... The other 3500k just shipped I see :cheers:

Sorry bro didn't see the post. The 4000k cob itself is a lighter color. Both have that orange yellow but the 3500k is deeper in color. During lights on the 4000k will appear brighter and more white.

Thank you for your patience on the last one. The sale has kicked my ass and I was 2 days off on restocking. I'm fully equipped now though.
