I've been seeing it more and more with other growers too. For that reason I'm not defoliating unless I have to, I did train cause I'm still in a tent, but going to leave them to do their thing after that.

It puzzles me how those lower buds are still developed so far from the light.
Not sure man shitload of light though 5080 watts.

5080 watts is a shitload of light! :mrgreen: Bit jealous of your stadiumlighting too...
I recommend defol an bit of lollipoping
I dont normally but just done it to let light in.
I bassically stripped half of the plant under led.

Next run i might not touch anything an see what happens.

Title of thread not true either running 2 x 1000 double enders hps an run em at 1100.
3x600 watt single enders hps.
600 watt LED
And a hlg 550 watt pulls 480 watts from wall as side lighting.
Fuck electricity must be cheap in Tassie!!
Looking fucking great mate!!!

Few more pics the hps buds some are big an airy
Some nice ones also.
But the LED im impressed solid as.
Yes that whole grow is impressive but the led grow sog seems much denser too or is this an optical illusion?
My theory on this is that hps on that distance has much more heat (not less light in any case and HPS is reaches much deeper IMO) so the buds and plants stay more airy as a reaction to heat / dissipation reasons. I wonder what would happen if you kept the PAR value but increased the distance from bud to HPS...

The overview pic looks a little like reedplumes, so many buds but also the shape of the buds... Its sick! Well done. And totally unexpected that the LED buds would be so much denser. I would've thought the HPS would have deeper penetration.
