Yeah man, I don't know if you've seen them but there's loads of youtube videos and playlists with those bestva lights. Just search you should find them. The results are not at all bad either. Just one thing I would take care of before taking the plunge is to dial in the surface covered by those lights. I may very well be the case that a quantum board is more efficient or that two 500s or even three 300s cover a bigger area and you want that coverage ! So? I would say that LED gives consistently solid results based on what I've seen. looken forward to your flower ! 🚀

Hi @Makeitlegal! If you want to go with LED, there's nothing better than LM301B top bin chips. Those high intensity diodes built by samsung could be used in strips or on PCB boards (so called "quantum boards") and deliver the best efficiency you can find on the market nowadays. I would add a few dollars and grab some LM301B 3500k strips + a meanwell driver (dimmable) to go DIY and have the perfect setup for your grow space. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

Remove leaves from auto?Should I remove fan leaves from my auto flower? I wonder since it is so crowded, I worry a bit that the leaves are pressing against the buds. But maybe that isn't a problem? I've read that removing leaves is unnecessary and stressful for the plant.

Defoliating Autos in Flower Hi, I'm in the middle of my first grow with autos and could do with advice on defoliation. You'll see from my diaries that things are OK so far but I've got issues with high humidity now that I'm going into flowering. Will it be safe defoliating them now or will it shock them?
