Perpetual cob setup

BlackD.O.G · Jul 11, 2016

Hey guys I was just curious to know what you think would be a great choice in coverage for 4 plant perpetual harvest setup. My desire is to have a setup that I can have 12 plants constantly in flower with a 4 plant one month spread. I have done reading on perpetual setups but my true aim is to see what you all think would be an optimum setup for just say 4 plants that have been vegged from clone for two months and then sent to flower. I would just run 4 cuts every 4 weeks and keep two strains going. I know I will need three different setups to deal with height issues. Im not sure If I want to scrog or just run bamboo sticks for some trained plants. lets talk this one out guys. Thanks

2 months vegged as clones is a bit longer than most of us would prefer. You'll have fugging trees when they're done stretching 4-5 weeks in to flower. I'd say veg for 3wks-4wks tops.

ok sounds good, its just gonna be a simple soil or coco setup. any input on what I would want for setup? I feel like 10 cobs per 4 plants may not be enough.

I run 16 under 8 cobs and it's more then enough light....

10 cobs PER 4 PLANTS? So how many "4 plants" do you have? 2(8 )=20cobs?

Im a noob when it comes to cobs. I see people are trying to go off of par watts rather than actual consumption at the wall plate.

I was thinking of building a nicely spread fixture so I wasnt sure what would be sufficent. So i am guessing 10 3590s per 4 plants is gonna be overkill?

How many "4 plants" are you talkin and in what size spaces?

BlackD.O.G · Jul 12, 2016

So like I said no more than 12 so a perpetual setup of 4,4,4 so i would need three setups minimum. I was gonna veg plants for 2 months and probably try a scrog. Im not sure what the ideal size would be but perhaps 5x5 per 4 plant set?

Ya in a 5x5, 10 cobs at 1750,2100ma would kick ass

What you think about running them at 700ma? I was just curious about making this setup as efficient as possible

No...I literally just told you. 1750-2100mA. Run emhard. You need 30w/sq foot at least. And you got 25 of em.

Sounds good, i may order the mau5 X kit from cutter

At 700ma you'll need Almost 2x more cobs.

What ma are the cutter kits?

What will the par watt output be with 10 3590s? I am still trying to wrap my head around the concept

Dont just take one guys word on it,do a lil reading around this led section.lots of good plants @ 1050ma and 1400ma.

You wanna get a BIGGER Amperage to start with because as long as you get a DIMMABLE DRIVER, you can always turn it down if need be. I'd use a few HLG-320H-C2100/1750B's to do the job. If you use mau5 kits, they're standard running 1400mA.

What do you think about the dimmable drivers that come with the cutter kits?
