How are your cobs laid out in that 3' x 4', 3-2-3? I wish and still may go with 9 at 1050MA for a total of 465 watts (3 HLG 120 1050's) but at 61% efficiency. If it's not to much trouble I would complete a run with what you have and the see what you like. It is a learning curve for sure...
I still havent built it yet. Its still all SGS-160 in there, hehe. Im leaving for Europe soon, and then Ill bring back all the small stuff that I need for the build. I figure from your comment, that it would be a good idea to just simply buy the extra cobs. Who knows, Id rather have them and regret that over not having them, and regret that. Thanks for taking your time to answer and also for sharing your experiences. Its greatly appreciated, especially by a lot of lurkers.

Your welcome and not a problem. Since the modularity of these systems is so great it's very nice to be able to add an extra bar or split your system for veg and clone and mom as when chips upgrade... Good luck and be sure to post with your build...

These are the clones for the next run, all cloned and rooted in solo cups of coco. I figured this way there would be less transplant shock compared from moving from the bubble cloner to coco pots and they can start growing as soon as they have roots. I have my one gallon square pots and three gallon square pots. I'm leaning towards another run with the one gallons and use the three gallons on the sour bubble / white berry kush run after this... :)IMAG1053.jpg

I am ending up with the 600w bars. Although it may be a bit much in my future 3x4, I figure that Id rather spend the money now, and only pay the shipping fees once. Perhaps in 2-3 years Ill get some new COBs again, which will probably blow my mind. Now Im looking into getting the right drills and self tapping screws. Thank you again, and I do hope that you will care to share the dry bud shots. I love those in particular.

fucking epic frost bruh :D
Thank you @skorchem .

The smoke is still needing a cure but is peaceful, centering, relaxing, with a smooth pain relief that happens without notice. All at once you realize there isn't any pain but not numbing. My girl has severe gastritis and her stomach will not allow any oral meds that have to be digested. The smoke from the Kush berry is enough to relax and take the pain from what would have her on the floor in a ball and going to the ER where the first thing they do is give her morphine.

The buds have so much resin they break like styrofoam or a rice crispy treat. The smell is only of skunky Kush and very sweet at this point but they are only dry with no cure yet.

Their So Cute At That Age :weed:
This round I added growstones aeration mix and buildasoils high brix basalt powder to the coco. The basalt powder ranges from pea sized chunks to powder. I figured it couldn't hurt to add 80 plus different slow release mineral compounds into the root zone. We will see. Oh the 11 Kush berry yielded just under 14 zips of stinky, tasty, white ash dropping, ripped between the eyes then relaxed as fuck bud... :)

Once they get big though...
They are in coco so they get watered every evening. Their root systems were big enough in the solo cups that they were drying the coco to the point of needing to water almost twice a day. It won't be long before roots are shooting out the bottom in the square pots. Coco really allows a plant to stretch it's legs even in a smaller space... :)

Every plant comes out of the tent and is hand watered every night. I rotate the plants each watering and no plant sits in the same spot it was the day before. I know it is labor intensive but I enjoy watching them grow and develop each and every day. I have contemplated an auto watering system but with only this small area I think it would take much of the enjoyment and relaxation I get from these plants away...
