I just pulled 495g( give a joint or two) out of my 4x4 using 2x 260w XL QB’s kits. I’m pretty darn happy with that. Especially considering this was my first round doing No-till organics......I can only assume the next cycles will get better and better as my soil biology really starts to thrive.

I did about 5 weeks veg. 4 plants ( each different strain ) in 15 gallon smart pots.

No till is a living soil. Where I reuse the same soil run after run, only top dress with amendments and teas. I’ve got worms in my pots and cover crop going( red clover ). I’m loving the fact I don’t have to change out all my medium after harvest. I just cut the plant down and plant right beside the stock. All my shake/stocks from harvest go right on top of the pots and the worms and microbes brake it all down into food for the plants...

From what I’ve seen online and read, no till (living soil) only get better cycle after cycle as the soil biology (microbes, fungi, bacteria as well as beneficial insects) really start to thrive.

Yeah, I'm really impressed with the performance of the QBs. And I have been enjoying saving 100$ a month over my HPS bills.

True living organic...10 4. Nice run. Ive always wondered how fast nutes are broken down to useable elements. Farmers often leave a field un planted every so many seasons to replenish the soil.

Wasn't it something like every 7th season in the old testament? lol

Not too many cash crop farmers let fields lie dormant. Around here it’s usually in this order....cultivate last year’s corn field for soybeans, apply Roundup. Harvest soy, then no-till Fall wheat. Harvest wheat and straw the following July/August. Some farmers will till the field after wheat harvest, but it’s usually left for the following Spring, then tilled for corn (and another shot of Roundup). Rinse and repeat....

The hay farmers usually run 3 years, then til and replant.

Hey guys, I'm using 600w HP's in 1.2m x 1.2m blooming rhino strain using 6-8 pots in 15 Littre pots getting roughly 3.5-4.5oz per plant hitting it with 30k lux from bottoms and 70-80k lux on the top colas using organic soil plus flairform products which takes roughly 9-11weeks bloom to harvest which is kinda long?

Veg is using 400w led but I cut it at its 4 node I think u call it and train its four arms using steel wire to peg it down to maintain light distribution to other branches for cloning which i use in process n takes 1-3week to root/grow then transfer to 15L and to have a mature potent plant ready for bloom ?

How high above the canopy did you hang your lights?

Right now in flower I discovered that the plants can actually be super close to the 260xl's (like 6 inches is the closest) with no seeming ill effects. The 600H is another story, but even with that light cranked I have some cola's that are 12 inches and not showing any issues except starting to get pretty fat..with that light though it seems like there is a concentration of light right in the center, it's almost too much for some of my plants. Some others of my plants in between the two lights are getting to be large cola's too, so it seems with the qb's the light bounces around a lot, off the walls, roof, etc. just my personal observation not sure if it fits with anyone else's. I guess in flower I would aim to have the 260xl's about 12 inches and the 600h about 18-24 inches, although like I said they could go closer without ill effects in my setup at least.

This is a forward projection. So don't quote me on it. But I do believe these QB boards are some other kind of ALIEN technology...

I grow 30 plants. I am growing some varieties to get it to 6 weeks and 3 weeks veg, rounding out 5 yields per year, I hope. Anyways QB all the way.

actually "samsung leds / cree [and more brands] cobs" all the way....they can be samsung leds strips..

they can be third party made samsung boards

..they can be COB leds...the efficiency is there..its not magic ..just progress..

there are ton of different ways to get the same results..nice colas dude..
