Still just 2 135 watt QBs. Only using 1 still XD 2nd brand new and in the box. I'm concidering getting a 3x3. 4x4 just seems way more space than i want to manage, but when legal i might need space to get most of my planys when plant limits come into play so hard to get of it. Think 2 2x2s might even work so i can have a auto and photo tent. I love Mephisto and with 250+ not moving on from those sedds anytime soon but have some photos i still want to do here and there.
My advice is to plan for more space than you think you need. I started in a 2'x2' with a 90w QB. I thought a 4'x4' was huge, but now I light 25 Sq. ft. with enough wattage for 32. Lol it's hard to stop.

Day 21 flower tomorrow. Going to do 1 defol of big fans and let them roll. Buds already looking good on them.
Awesome. Let us know how it goes. I have always been curious about defoliating autos and how they would handle it/the best timing of when to do it etc.

The guys at Mephisto said they had the best luck with just tucking leaves, so that's been the plan for me.

Curious to see if defoling will work though, as that is what I do to my regular plants.

Doesn't hurt or slow them down at all... Neither does topping...

Looks awesome.

Did you do any lst/topping or anything?
I topped the one to the far left, haven't decided if I'll top the other two way to the right. Have to get em at the right time, I think. Maybe early stretch or right before. The one in the middle isn't topped. I like to use the single "tomato ring" to spread them out a bit. You can see on the front of the pvc frame I've used plant ties to pull her apart as well. I may do a scrog (on a different set of autos, not these haha)

A few months ago, I did a side-by-side of a topped and non-topped Ripley's OG. No difference at all between the two, and no slow down in growth.
Yesterday, I FIM'ed a Creme De La Chem. This morning - brand new growth. Amazing.

Last summer i topped 2 ROG at 5th node and they were over 4 ft. Branches were leaning and breaking from buds. 10 oz plus a single nug i didn't jar between the 2. 3.9 gal coco autopots. They had training i could've got more on the lowers but they were huge and wide with topping. Went to 82 days so no real slow down on the topping.

Hey Frank! I'm still around...mostly lurking though bongsmilie

AVT is strong producer. I highly recommend pushing her to 11-12 weeks as she seems to take on a much more mellow feeling than harvesting at 10...which I did once.
