Got home from some morning meetings and messed with the light a little bit more - raised it back up 2-3". PPFD is now at ~925 which with a 13.5 hour lights-on window gives a DLI of just about 45 - I think we're gold here. @Or_Gro - thinking you may be missing some alerts over here?

Hit the sweet spot... 330W was my estimated wattage last grow using 3 * qb288v1 boards. 330W with the v2 boards plus Emersons should be awesome!

One might even call it "far red!" :bigjoint:

Red coverage is good - moved the light down about 6". I turned down both dimmer knobs - going to adjust back to around ~1000ish ppfd in the morning at the new height and re-check wattage.

I haven't checked recently, but I think the 288s only come in 3000k and 4000k... Maybe one of each on a 2-board fixture...

Looking good this morning - back to business with the lighting. I might do a check-in during the far-red window this evening. If the coverage is good enough, I may drop the light down a few inches so I can dim them while still targeting around 1000ppfd. Ideally I'd like to keep the...

Thanks dude! It's all Mrs Steakbomb on the defol - but nothing but buds is definitely the goal!

Defoliation, water change, and addition of Emerson boards complete! Giving them a little less ppfd for the balance of today - probably dial it back up to ~900-1000 tomorrow morning. Before After

Fortunately I'm in Massachusetts in the US where recreational is legal, but we do have a plant limit. I usually do scrogs but had to do manifolds this grow due to time constraints. 3 plants is tough to pack in here, but when I do I can get 1.5lb with a pretty quick veg time. Welcome!

21 days in. Last major defol & addition of Emerson boards tomorrow to start week 4!

I gotta tell ya - if it turns out me & Mrs Steakbomb can't have kids, I am gonna do some seriously ridiculous grows.

Ya got me there! I do have a tiny bit of my very-old LibHaze still actually - grown w/ technaflora. Definitely not gonna be a fair comparison with weed that's been in storage for several months, but better than no comparison when I don't have multi-tent, scientific-method grows going on haha

This weekend I'll be adding the flavor/terpene enhancer (Botanicare's "Sweet") to the nutrient solution. Since Liberty Haze is supposed to have a very lemony/citrusy flavor and smell, I decided to try Sweet Citrus this time - I've been using Sweet Raw (basically the "plain" version) for the...

Thanks dude - I definitely try to keep things as clean as possible in there. Gonna get a little more challenging in the coming weeks when things start getting sticky...

Those tops are so flat and even! A sea of fat buds is not too far away - and since they stayed short due to the number of tops, you'll probably be in good shape for a single-round harvest this grow.

Getting excited for sure. No new blemishes or anything either, so keeping them happy. Fingers crossed that these ones don't wind up throwing bananas like the last time I grew LibHaze...

Getting exciting in here at day 19. Gonna turn the Emerson boards back on this weekend!

Day 17 at 13.5:10.5... Still chugging along - drinking probably 2L a day each now.

Looking pretty good - foliage is happy and pistil balls starting to form...

It doesn't look like they can dim the hlg series drivers undfortunately. I've been examining the bluefish & bluefish mini for a little bit here... One mini per fixture would be sweet if it could manage everything!
