I don't have COBs, but: In the late summer/early fall I had been growing several types of loose leaf lettuce -5 or 6- under 5k EB strips on shelving. It was all edible, not leathery or thick, but then I harvested it as it was slightly starting to "rosette" & I knew it was heading downhill from...

I bet you are(: Why should he answer YOU, bigot?

Ohh nooo, you aren't kidding are you! I'm starting to really wonder if I'll get to growing everything that I want to grow now, as of this moment, while I'm still alive. I have imagined both indoor and outdoor projects galore, luck just hasn't been on my side. Not outdoors at least for close to...

@Prawn, loving the grow and seeing you switch sides:hump: ...stopped getting alerts and lost track of time with the holidays but your plants are looking :weed: If you don't have to deal w/ the IR and have hundreds of points of light, why not hang them low? I have my strips inches off my plants...

Well that's what I thought you meant, but now I'm confused...I'll explain; You have 15×1" strips in 48"(4' you said) That means that, if I understand correctly, you have 33" of fixture without strips. Or approximately a 2" gap for every strip. My cabinet is 17×26.5" inside, I say 18×27 as...

@Fogdog - so it is true! A pile of Clinton voters are still running around in circles...how's it going crunching those numbers you asked for, want some more; https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/jill-stein-democratic-spoiler-or-scapegoat/...

How's the 630 working out fellow? For some reason I'm slightly jealous. I'm sure it's partly -mostly due to the fact i've had 2×250w HPS bulbs for, no lie, a good dozen years and never lit em up. But a 630 CMHbongsmilie I wonder if Santa hears me:eyesmoke:

Do you mean your readings are roughly half at the same distances Chip? - I underlined for emphasis - One Love to you EB heads for the Holidays Comin atchu from the snowy foothills of the Canadian Rockies:hump:

@lukio - I take it that space monkey on the left is the Alpha FEMale, shes huuuge:shock: You should try feeding the others what shes been getting & pretty soon here:grin: ...and since you asked Day35 - last Sat

&@anyone, is there no personal picture albums/galleries on RIU??:neutral: Nobody would believe what I have gone thru to get pics on my tablet, I swear if I didn't have bad luck I wouldn't have any sometimes... back on topic, who rocks a tent like this guy:roll:

Noo, I want YOUR feedback damnit!...ummm, I have 2 smartpots with soil and lots of perlite, about 60/40 and some smaller cocos/perlite(DTW) in a couple stages behind them. I'll also let you know I've just gotten a pH & EC pen maybe a month ago. I've been too whatever to test runoff regularly to...

Well the lack of penetration has its benefits in certain ways, I suppose. I can, and do, have between 1/3 & 1/2 my cab (2x 2G smart pots) later on in flower just inches under my light. I have a couple more broads 3 weeks behind them that are just finishing stretch under lower light levels yet...

And since I'm about that PPFD, I have my driver maxed @about 825-840mA and have my canopy 2 - 2.5 inches away. Eventually they will find a new home, I have a replacement in mind :grin:

@muleface, I'm a big fan of your dedicated research in the 'COB Users:Lettuce Grow Challenge', thanks for allowing me to watch and learn!bongsmilie...and you are absolutely correct about the intensity dropping off unfortunately quickly;-) There's surprisingly not much difference in accuracy...
