I think i could agree with you if we perhaps made the distinction that pruning can increase yeild of a given space, but not necessarily increase the yeild per plant. On a per plant basis, all my tests have shown me slightly lower yeild (per plant) from aggressive pruning, but i could see...

Crowded is definitely one of the scenarios where i could see it being a viable solution. For my needs though, i don't even need to fill my space up fully to get more than I can reasonably smoke before i start me next grow. It's nice to be able to really spread a plant out and let it breath.

I've been around and around with this 'defoliation' debate. I've tried everything from untouched to barely there. Not interested in getting into it again, but I'm sure someone will take the bait.

More efficient from what I've read, but the big fans are still contributing so I don't have any reason to chop them unless they are diseased/dying/dead.

Look man, I like you, soyou can just be direct and stop trying to streer me into some imaginary corner. You're clearly using the comparison to advocated some form of pruning. Thats fine, i lollipop my plants a bit for airflow and to make harvest easier, but i never pull healthy fan leaves...

I do. I grow them in my yard. Have for years.

So plants hate photosynthesis during flower? I'll have to look into that.

Lol. I have big hands because I'm really tall. I'll leave any other physical measurements to your imagination.

For the same reason a big plant is. High capacity for resource collection and high potential for flower production. I assume you know about photosynthesis so i'm not going to go much deeper.

One in my last crop had big fans for a plant that was only 3 ft tall. Bigger than hand size and my hands are pretty huge. 200 - 230 watts into two QB288 v2.

The HLG kits mentioned above are probably the best bang for the buck when quality, reliability, and customer service are factored in. Yeah, there is a bit of assembly, but if you can use a screw driver and follow along for a 5 minute Youtube video you can build their kits.

Your yeild is going to be tiny using 25 micron with flower. I typically use 73 for flower.

To be fair, if they made a small, cheap model (like maybe enough to dry a half ounce at a time) i might buy one just for rushing samples. But it would have to be pretty cheap.

I guess i don't see the point. If you managed to wait the months it takes to grow and flower a plant, is cutting 4 or 5 days off of your dry time really that big of a deal? I could maybe see it of you were growing for sale, but if you're growing enough for resale you'd need about a hundred of...

You've said '1000 watt light' several times, but you didn't say what kind of light it is. 1000 watt Metal Halide? 1000 watt High Pressure Sodium? LED? What are you working with?

Simple answer is that they are not going to flower until they get 12 or less hours of light per day.

Glad you're ok, but I'm having to fight so hard to not make some kind of joke along the lines of 'now that is some fire weed' or 'looks like you might have some burnt tips, may want to back off the nutes'.... I'm not going to though because grow saftey is far too often overlooked, even by...

They dead.

Holy shit! Glad nobody died!

Already did. I've grown under almost every kind of light. MH/HPS, floro, blurple (CLW SS440 with 3w Osram)... it's got nothing to do with mag, or cal/mag. Its just VPD my dude.
