Day 49

Becoming a jungle in there. Had to move all the lights up a bit. I'm doing very little defoliation this run. Just might clean up the centers a bit.

Day 50

These plants sure are living up to the Fastbuds name! Today my new 2200K COB came in from @BigSm0 and he wasn't lying, the red on this thing is wicked. Ive hung it up higher in the center where a 3500k was living, and hopefully we'll see a nice boost in the bloom phase. Halfway through renovating the room so I can get Tent 2 up and we decided there's enough room for a third 4x4 and maybe a little 2x2 nursery tent so I will be looking to buy another set of these from @BigSm0 soon. Cannot speak highly enough of your lights and your customer service, man. Thanks!

Now on to the photos. First the new light!

Day 54

Front left girl got a big defol today. There was just too much interior for the light to penetrate and some weak side branches that weren't gonna make it up to the light.

I'll do one a day over the next three days so I can watch how they react.

This is gearing up to be excellent!

I haven’t seen any real info or side by sides on defoliating autos personally. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. Like you I questioned it many times and over my past dozen grows decided to do the lowers extensively. It didn’t seem to matter much either way but I did like the fact it was less to cut later and it did help with air flow around the plants. It’s one of those things that makes sense but doesn’t seem to matter much in the end.

good luck with the grow!!

Thanks!! I may leave one or both in the back intact just for goggles now. Will have to think about it.
