So for you thinking is defoliation right or wrong, take a look

Heres why imo defoliation is a must along with lst currently under a 600hps 12/12 foliar feeding moonshine for the first 3 week of flower, top feeding moonshine canna a and b mycorrhizae cal/mag multi total, will add in explode at 3 weeks of flower, lemon zkittle

Looking good. I'm pro defoliation myself. With using led like I do you can't get the light penetration needed for rock hard dense nugz.

 

[Dani smoke]

Which LEDs? Do u use I'm going to get quantum boards for my next in home to still get pure dense buds... Don't hear much good for LEDs I'm affraid tho so it makes me think...

I to am a believer in defoliation.

Monster Cropper, Barneys Farm LSD,
Major defo week prior to 12/12,

Three days later

One week later 12/12

Same day canopy management.

Just prior to harvest.

Here's all that's left after harvest.

Did 18.8 zips of trimmed smokable buds.

Can see the full grow in my sig, BF Monster Crop Spring/Summer 18'

Your pics are a but grainy but I would not recommend defoliation at that stage.

But go for it. It wont hurt the plant and you will learn some things.

I defoliate all throughout flower. One large defoliation 3 days before switched to flower. 1 large defoliation after day 21 then I clip leaves like 2 or so per plant each day, if said leaf is beneficial to remove. Made my best harvest yet by switching from soil to hydro plus new QB lights.

I still have 1 more plant hanging in closet, am expecting at least 5 ounces from it.

Nice stuff I'm in Coco what qbs did u get? I'm getting the 320watt after this grow but I'm still spectical

 

[vyserage]

Best one to go for if you plan to grow veg and flower stage with same light, qb132 3500k. You can get the more powerful ones (more led chips) for smaller spaces but I personally wanted unquestionable footprint so I got 12x qb132 3500k in a 4x4 tent. At max I can push upwards of 1000 to 1100 Watts but I only run them at 250 Watts per row (3 rows) so 750watts during flower. I put them down to 75 Watts per row and 36' for seedlings and clones. Eventually I'll power up to 150 w a row around 3 weeks old or so. Time will tell, am still getting used to these amazing lights.

After using qbs, they annihilate blurple LEDs hands down. Atleast in comparison to the vipars and Mars Hydro lights.
You won't be upset if you decide to go with qbs.

It takes 50 Watts per square foot for great yields. From what I've heard, a QB can put the same results roughly at only 30 Watts per.

Now I can't claim my first large harvest was the lights alone since I upgraded to hydro at the same time but I'm certain they helped! Especially the light spread.

I can see clearly 30 flower heads

QBs FOR THE WIN!!!!
