Thank you @AUM. I think she yielded around 6oz dry. She was a monster and really hard work to control.

I wish. 6oz is around 170 grams. Yeah she was dried rather quickly but she sat curing in jars for around 2 months. It wasnāt the strongest or smelliest smoke but it also was not the worse

Hey man I notice you have some sideligthting going on there, does it make much of a difference? I have thought about this but have yet to get around to it.

More light equals more growth

I think I am going to mount blurple light bars vertically in each corner of my 4x4. Canāt hurt. I just wish this retirement would start! I am eager to share my grow and get all types of feedback to learn from.

Yeah but only to a point though right? Iām a bit of grams/watt kind of guy so efficiency I guess is important . I also donāt know how efficiently the leaf chloroplast utilise side/unde rlights. I guess I might have to whack some in a do a comparison.

Side lighting will ensure the lower buds get more light. How many of us when trimming at harvest time have binned āpopcornā Buds?? But your right about efficiency. Side lighting will greatly increase the lower portion of the plants growth but I could see your gpw if anything dropping as I doubt using 50w per corner would give you an extra 200g of bud.

A reflective surface at the bottom of the plant wouldnāt lower gpw and would help light penetration to lower leavesā¦ idk how much help but itās cheaper than side lighting

Sunlight = el mejor when it comes to light

The point of autos for me is that I can grow them outside in town and not worry about light from neighbors.

Well I got them pretty well bathed in light currently. In fact I took out some of my Bridglux COB lights because the tops were just getting light bleached. It seems to me that much more than 110-120 K lumens per square metre seems to to be more hassle and heat than gain.

It canāt hurt, but given the law of inverse squares by the time that light has gone all the way down and bounced back the additional light would probably be negligible. Some people think that light on the underside of leaves can be a bad thing for plantsā¦I think thats bull personally, but who knows.

Personally when I use my zxmean lights beneath the canopy aimed up they got a nice almost shiny gloss and got darker.
Light leaves got color again to a degree for example. I was going to print off some leaves on my auto before and when I gave her a UV bath she made those leaves dark enough to get energy from them properly again. This was at the end of flower when she was ready to be chopped in a few days too.
Any plant Iāve tried it on only responded positively and growth tended to explode after when I was stuck at a stage. I canāt say how effective it would be on a full grow as Iāve been using it as supplemental lighting occasionally. Maybe in a future grow Iāll try one for itās whole life with light from beneath and above and see how it goes.

Interestingā¦did the bottoms of the leaves get darker too? Also, did the bottoms still look drastically different from the tops of the leaves as they normally do?
