Lighting The new DIY Section

[midIN]

You know that the Autocobs are made from off-the-shelf components?
Of course people are going to use the same components to self-build their own COBS.
You can/could even buy the individual items as a kit on cobshop.net.
@BigSm0 makes no secret of the components and actively encourages people to build their own. He has even stated in this thread that he makes very little profit from doing the Autocobs, and profit is not why he is doing it - he is doing it to educate people on the major benefits of more efficient lighting for growers and bringing them to the 21st century.
I think you are letting something upset you for no reason. Take a step back for a second and have a look at the bigger picture and I am sure you will feel more at ease with the situation.

Actually I think I'm well aware of the autocob and what comes with it and all thatIntel's, bub, what u didn't get was the joking mess that I posted, I'm well aware of the parts and etc. So trust me when I say, i have spoken with @BigSm0 enough about his lights and how the world turns, @Boradan are u on Instagram of so then u will now where I'm coming from, when someone is boosting about thier grow cause the cobs they are using and when u look at it the have 3 brands of cons in there and 2 are try like hell to copy the autocob, which is an issue because they only post that the light brand [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] is just the shit, when in reality is the also have 4 autocobs in there that are clearly blowing away the 3 off brand autocobs, so people see this post and think of [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG] and [HASHTAG]#3[/HASHTAG] cobs brand name not [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] cob brand who is actually doing the work.

Imo only thing that absolutely wrong and just totally not right is that the driver one the autocob isnt updated, @BigSm0 u could easily fix this but u haven't yet and I'm very upset beyond upset that I cant even imagine my frustrations with this issue, now let me tell u about this issue, when I see the cobs I dont see CobShop or CobShop.net anywhere on the driver, which maybe warranty purposes but when I scroll Instagram and etc and I know what the cob is just by looking u can see real from fake which there are some now that are way to close looking, I mean way close, (Patent or utility Patent) maybe it is something after all.

Back to my point, need a logo on the cob cause why because well idk but it would help I'm sure. I see people mixing ur cobs with others like that chef dipshit and he promotes the crappy mars cob but doesnt say shit about the other 4 in the tent that dont need the 3 crappy others in ther with them, but that's me. And i cant stand that fake people.

I have actually been working on this my man. I will have something on them soon. Since the driver is so small I decided the big decal was enough but you are right. As for the wig man I swear.... greed and envy are terrible attributes. Scroll back 8 months ago and check his progress with the addition of the cobs. There will always be fakes and knockoffs. The one thing they all lack is common sense. The autocob will do better because I wanted it to do better, built based on testing and built for performance. The fakes attempt to copy the autocob but they don’t understand the basics and without that they aren’t going to come close.

Nailed it. Ya I was thinking of the decals u sent I maybe able to wrap it around the driver. Ya man, I was Ted myself when I saw it, then I read it, thought well that ain't what u said about them in mid flower there wig man goggles. A heat sink of the letter A, be cool but not feasible, but can u get the driver cover in green that would be titties .lol

Also @BigSm0 have u seen what the autocob can do for the photo girls wowzer. No more HPS, that's for sure. One could really max out a tent with a nice scrog of bushy photos.
