souljasamanswered grow question 6 years ago
I personally prefer quantum board style lighting. It allows you to have more grow height and the light is spread out more evenly. With that said, though, it is less intense overall vs cobs as it is spread out more. I made my light using the same diodes as quantum boards and can have my lights as close as 12" from my plants. If COBs are put close to plants it is very easy to burn/bleach them compared to quantum boards. The light I would personally go with for that tent size would be: https://growerslights.com/products/horticulture-lighting-group-260-watt-xw-quantum-board-led-kit?variant=8194589425765 or look up meijiu on Alibaba for some cheap yet still good quality quantum board style lighting.

According to me it depends on what you are searching for. The QB boards will have a larger space coverage, with the cob you have the possibility to add lens and focus the light on a specific area . The boards seems to produce less heat than the cob and I also believe that the board will be cheaper for the same ( better ? ) results 😊

Hu @CANNASIM! Well I would go with QBs, I'm more than happy with the ones I got recently! Basically PCB boards have a better coverage than COBs that are focusing light onto one "hot spot". Plus, LM301B diodes have been showing awesome results both in labs and in real life, so in my opinion a QB setup with LM301B diodes is the best grow light you'll find on the market. HLG is not the only manufacturer, I've got mine from a UK based company (I can send you the link in private). Join the QB team you won't regret it 😉 Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

When is a good time to start pruning?When is a good time to start pruning? She is about 10 inches tall and is short and VERY bushy. Has several leaves hidden from light and so I am thinking of pruning today. However I don't want to do it too soon. So far my pruning has been VERY minimal. Thoughts?

To defoliate or not (auto flower flowering stage)?Hi All,
As per the title, the plant looks great to me (week 9), but I do wonder whether I should defoliate? I'm running 200w of LEDs for the one plant so no shortage of light. I realise 200w is rather over the top based on the daily light integral.
Thoughts?

I defoliated and removed lower, small, shaded bud sites during the first 3 days of flower. Was it a bad move considering the plant is bushy as heck and hasn’t stretched yet? Left about 25 « tops » (2 actual main colas) with some growth right underneath. Did I hurt my future yield

Defoliation of bushy plant during week 1 floweringI flipped my girls to flower 5 days ago and been lightly defoliating the big one (top right) over the last 4 days (plucking lower fan leaves and those blocking bud sites from the light, about 10 leaves a session) Was it a bad move considering I already flipped to flower?

LollipoppingThe plant on the right is growing colas on top of colas and isn’t stopping. Some of the bottom ones are pretty large but haven’t been able to make it up through to the rest. Should I do some serious lollipop and get rid of all the bottom grow no matter how big it is?

General questions about my growBased on week 5 of my grow, does it sound like I'm on track with nutrients? Any advice on LST or defoliation? The plants struggled since I planted them so I wary of stressing them out. The only thing I'm doing at this point is tucking the leaves so the bud sites get more light.2 years ago

To Defol or Not to Defol? That is the question.Week 10 question for Wedding Glue.
I know there is a lot of controversy over trimming autoflowers. Let's say it's semi safe. She's super bushy again. Should I do another defoliation? OR wait another few days? I'm worried about timing. I have very little left. Thanks all!
