I have spent the last week studying how to use COB led efficiently. On my last grow I just whacked them straight up to "11" and hoped for the best. This grow I intend to change track and try and use the least amount of light possible to get the best results. To be fair my light is way over spec for my 60x60 tent. I want to use the dimmer to lower the intensity of the light to more than adequately match the needs of my space. Then I can use the over head of light intensity that I have as the grow progresses into flower. I would enjoy any comments or feedback any advice is good advice in my opinion.

Lesson learned. took a set of pliers to this young lady to help with some super cropping. hhmmmmm. Bad idea. nearly lost a whole branch but I managed to save it with the power of gaffer tape. otherwise still powering along.

So Flowering is happening. rResponding the the increased nutrients like a champ. Stretch is impressive and she is bushing out like a dream. I want to "Paint her like one of your French girls" ( "Titanic" reference for those interested)

looking nice 👌 nice strong stem very early. You use fan in the first three-four weeks?

@GeneralBudMan, very true @the dust/dirt

@@Spaceman, I used the fan throughout the grow. I gave it a good clean around week 8 and was amazed at how much a bit of dust can block a fan. now back a peak efficiency.

Nice rig...she looks happy! TIP: If you supplement with abundant CO2, your plants can utilize as much light as you can throw at them.... turn it up to "11" as you say... 😎 Consider adding 1-2 natural CO2 mushroom bags (Exhale) to your tent, and if temperatures allow it, have your exhaust fan on a timer so that it shuts off for an hour, every 4 or 6 hours, so that the CO2 can build up and your girls can drink it in.

Solid! That's what I'm up to next, same idea. Plant will yield some monster colas later 💪

Hey so I'm new to topping and such, why do you take all the other growth off? To focus energy? I like to leave leaves so you can spot first signs of deficiencies. Let me know!
