One of the things that is so confusing to me is how much cob light is really needed? I don't understand much about umols and all that. I have mental health problems and find that scientific light talk is a but heavy for my lite head. lol
So in a 3ft x 3ft area / 36 inches x 36 inches...
How much light is too much light? How much light is ok for auto's on 20-4, also how much light for photoperiod plants on 12/12.
I'll tell you what my problem is. I have found recently that I have been growing too much weed. By that I mean like a whole village + my friends are still smoking my last batch from 2 months ago. lol I also grew over 20 ounces for free for a friend with stage 4 breast cancer. I have grown her another 16-20 ounces since December for her already. She has 12 ounces left from last batch + this lot. I'm going to keep all that for her. It just means I can chill now and just keep making her cannabis oil.
Another problem is I just can't be bothered with this full time growing anymore, there is so much more to life than money and it's really taking it's toll on my health! I don't want to spend any more time obsessively making money! I have a perfect family, a nice house with low mortgage, a flat, money, sports car, vw campervan, a canary and a puppy. My life is now exactly where I want it! I've been working towards this for years, but now I have everything I want, I need to keep it. It's been expensive getting to where I am, but now I want to retire young! lol
A major problem for me is this. I rented a flat to grow in, I pay £2500 /3115.89 usd over my budget in rent. Also my electricity last year was around £3800/ 4736.15 usd , which is fucking brutal! So to live somewhere big enough to grow all this weed I don't need, is costing me a pretty penny to say the least! If I move to a cheaper flat / apartment + switch to cobs and 3ft tents, I'll still be rolling out plenty of weed. Like £2000 a month, I'll also be able to get rid of it all, plus I really enjoy growing in 3ft tents. I can reach everything, so I keep them so healthy. Everyday I can life all the pots and still treat the plants as individuals.
I used to grow in wardrobes under blurple leds. I grew plenty of weed then. I just got silly somewhere along the line with compulsive behaviour + desire to be successful for my family.
I cannot commit to the stress of the high electric bills + expensive rent anymore. It's becoming a real burden on my life. Serious unwanted baggage!
I have a 2.5ft mother tent with T5 96w
I want one 3ft x 3ft tent for my Blimburn Cindy and Brothers Grimm Cinderella'99 plants for personal.
One 3ft x 3ft tent with 4 auto's days 0-30.cWith enough light.
One 3ft x 3ft tent with 4 auto's days 31-60. With more light
That means I could harvest an absolute minimum of 8-10 ounces / zips easily every 30 days, just from the auto's.
That may give people a real in depth insight of to why I would spend a lot of money switching to cobs.
It's the noise of the fans at night too. They must be quiet. I have been screaming out stress through the pillows! Literally the fan noise cooling hid or cmh is just fucking with my. It's so bad that when I turn off all the noise I lose my balance and feel strange, like I've just stepped of a small boat and the land still feels like it's moving.
