Changed my mind again might get a cobx6 and 2 cobx4s if they fit in my 1.2m growing tent they have great spec and tbh I'd say the components are cheaper to replace but ive always the option to change out my cob for the god panels with removing of a few scews ..that's how easy they are to mod and I always lollypop not just for no airy shit buds but to help with circulation.

On another note, I've been looking for a larger propagator but with postage it wasn't worth it.couldn't find anything in town then went into one of em old handy stores n one was covered in dust marked from 39e to 31 but appeared to have a tiny crack where the lid meets the base so I asked him what's the best he can do its damaged he said 25 n I got it for 20..boom.
Here it is 20161126_090415_noexif.jpg
That's the new tray under the old one. I gave it a good bleach and a clean with the hose so let it dry a bit then just threw it in there to finial drying

I've mixed up so many strains they'll have some good room with those little plastic lollypop yolks for labeling to the left of each strain not to mention I've received some giant cuttings in the paSt that didnt fit and they were probably healthiest id received in terms of stress but they weren't rooted but I've a great rate with rooted once done right...no doffing the lad that sent the unrooted cuts it was my stupidity that was the unforseen variable ..once rooted I'll pot em in my tiny pots n keep em in the prop a week watering once with one vent open but plenty humidity n no foliar feeding the dome being sprayed

Yay roots growing day or 2 early that expected in fairness but ill put that down to luck. I always get roots between 7-9 days but these guys are hall out

Curious as to why on earth you would buy a god led, instead of the new Budmaster hps, which is white light, with great overall spectrum, with reds and blues max'd out still? I think it would be worth the extra money.

The panels I want most and will buy soon are the cob-x. Simple reason they can be placed close to plants. I like using more than 1 light, so having one light at the top of the tent doesn't suit my style.

I'm a big Budmaster fan! I've used several of their panels and rate their company very high. Paul is a good man! A real decent guy! I have a picture of my 1st ever half a lb plant on his website. Very good leds!

That journal on 420 didn't really do the leds justice imo! The plants were not exactly healthy and was his worst yield. Personally I think that is grower error and I' m so interested to see here how your grow turns out.

Icemud get yourself some fresh soil from a hydro shop innit ffs :lol: Don't spend 50% of your grow trying to get the balance in the soil right. Bio Bizz all mix will do you proud Icemud! :lol:

Yeah they spoke alot of shit between n it's like 100 pages long lol was some read but great info.
I've mailed Paul this morning asling if a cobx9 or a cobx8 with 2 cobx4s for wether or not they'll fit so ive the same plan as yourself.some plants don't grow the same rate so would be handy to lower a cob 4 or so n I lollypop anyways not to mention the components are cheaper...I'm looking as budmaster for all my future lighting needs so any components needed they got it there at amazing prices and youve spoken to Paul he's a cool cat man to deal with.I get an odd family vide off em

I mentioned the same thing to Paul in an email his shits constantly under def...I recycle my soil but always add fresh soil in there n some coffee rusks n vermiculite n use cannazyme every other week

Switching the lights every 2 days so I get even use of the cobs. ..
Did a few calculations and a cob x9 and 2 cobx4 comes to 113cm which is like 1.13m n my tents 1.2 so it'll be snug but should manage it n mad coverage lol n ill have em nice n low gonna train em for even canopy then when they bloom I'm going to throw a mesh net over the cola to stop em sloppiness n breaking

I quite like the one with 6 modules. I did a grow with the 450xg and got over 10 ounces in a small tent. It's just a great size light, draws 300w 'actual draw', or 150w on half power. I like the x4's, but can see myself kitting my future grows out with 2 x x6's. They'd rock a dr90 and are also perfect for a 4ft x 4ft tent together, plus a vertical lamp could be hung down the middle of a tent still in the winter. The x4's are good too. I have owned the 675od (9 modules), f*cking heavy panel that is man!

Depends on what you're doing... Imagine having a 1.5m x 1.5m tent with 4 x 4's in! I tend to use dr120's, so two x6's would be my 1st choice.

In a Dr80 (3x3)for veg n 1.2 (4x4)for flowering but the cob x9 does the 120 buuutt as stated I'd measured one cobx9 x 2 cobx4 and it comes to 113cm (1.13m) and my tents 1.2 so she will be snug but i run clones so can take advantage of lowering a cobx4 to suit all height requirements. howd you find the temps? my cob with no fan or extractor set on half only gives out 24-26c so I'm slowly recording the heights as I raise em then lower as as they develop if she's that strong I dont wanna over power the girls n will be interesting to get an idea on highs to coverage as all the fans n lights get flipped on. more roots today btw

I'd love a 1.5m but just bought a 4x4 5 at a time then cut n hang for a week n next lots ready to go in a week later after I prune the shit out of em..these are the results I'm expecting at least...this is a 400w hps she should easily out preform but ill keep lots of side by side...

Let's see what pics I've left of my veg under a 400w look like 20161119_172550_noexif.jpg 20161119_171145_noexif.jpgthose 2 pics are from the 19th btw..the gg4 really blows the fuck up n I've broken so many stems n main stalks training a bit agressive but nothing ducting tape and zip ties u can lose every few days...yes u heard me reusable zip ties

Nice healthy bushes there. Temps are always good with led. I would happily use a 4'' extractor fan in a 5ft x 5ft tent, with passive intake. Still wouldn't even be run of full power. Only temp problems I have is with hid lighting.

We have to remember that the tent walls suck in with negative pressure, so a 4ft x 4ft tent is more like 1m area to grow in. Surely it sucks in 10-15cm each side...

Already ahead of u mate I've a 6" 730m2 fan hooked up to a heavy ass mountain air filter and did I mention the fans plugged into a sms fan speed controller so fan speed never uses excess and helps with sound as for negative pressure bamboo sticks my friend arounds the corners.
and ive a small 6" fan for the lower canopy attached to my "passive intake " that really helps the lower half that doesn't require lollypoppin then ill slowly prune as I go when I start from flip to day maybe 7 of flowering. and I've a monster 19inch ossolating fan in the upper corner that not only cools the hook (big surface area on those fans lol )on speed one is the max n that canopy loves it but anything above 1 n they look like they're about to blow away
