Haha! I set up this username a few days ago and was having trouble getting the email confirmation... so I just got the 48hr trophy already. I think that means I can start a thread now... Grow Journal subforum?

Another day and you won't be able to tell you defoliated at all. Man, they bounced back quick!

And, as soon as those leaves hit full potential, they are gonna explode...

hopefully i timed it right for stretch, and the intense light forces them to stack nodes close together.

Wife is doing great. She hasn’t had any problems at all. Just gets sleepy more often. We are actually going to check out the house this morning and do a walk through with the builder. New grow room is like a 10x11 room that I’ll do 2 4x8 flood and drain tables. I recently got 2 450 watt 6 led bar fixtures and I am thinking of ordering some of those fotop 800 boards to fill the tables. Probably order 12 of those boards and run them 150-200 watts a board.

175 difference in watts for the same 1050 PPFD. Should be interesting to see how this ends.

Or_Gro said:

Yep, after stretch i will try to equalize the red end of the spectrum, which will boost the 288 wattage somewhat.

But the 288s will still likely be more efficient than the 96s, for a given intensity level.

96s lookin a little ahead in these pics, but checking final defol pics for day 1 looks about even growth since then (ie. 96s started a little heavier).
