With the exception of some foxtailing on a few of the OG strains, the tray looks exceptional.

Got delayed on the updates since I was traveling. These ladies should be ready to chop within 6 to 7 days from now. The aroma when entering the garden is THICK.. even my UPS guy smells it from the driveway. Didn't run a carbon filter this time around so holy crap does it stink up the entire house!

Anyways, the other two tables are looking great but the COB one has the best appeal in bud size and overall appearance. It's the clear winner but once I have the weights in we will have a better idea of how much it won by.

Thanks a lot fellas! The Tangie is something special. Thank you Mycotek for sharing the cut with me.

Also the OGKB v2.0 and Thin mints are shading purple now and temps have rarely gone below 72F. The foxtailing on a few of the OG's was probably due to my AC, which failed and allowed temps to reach 83F for 2 full days before it got sorted, such is life I suppose. You try and try to have perfection but it's not always possible. Still very happy with the outcome.

I will post up some individual strain pics compared to each of the three light sources. Thanks again for following and hope it's enlightening to those considering COBs in their future! :tiphat:

What an amazing grow. I wish we had smellavision already because I bet it smells crazy in there.

Have you pointed an infrared temperature meter at the backs of the heatsinks, where the lights are, and halfway between them?

The main thing holding me back, is cost of heatsinks. Actually fans would be cheaper.

I am going to have to try making them soon. Maybe Christmas present to myself.

Thanks for informing me!!!!

I do have fans on the back of my COBs up against each heatsink, 140MM and 4 of those per bar.. It was probably overkill to be honest but it definitely moves a good bit of air.

ChilLED OGKB 2.0 DAY 65

Here are the OGKB 2.0 buds, which are turning a beautiful shade of purple. I was advised to take her to 70 days but I'm thinking the chop will come in the next 2 or 3 days.

Have you harvested?? Do you know what the trick is, using 730nm light to induce heavy budding? I think it was 15 minutes after lights out for first 2 weeks of flowering, but not sure.
