Purple Diesel Medical Grow

Yes
I still have the exhaust set up very close to the bulb. In reality I could have left it attached to the bulb and just taken the glass off. I would have done that but my light fit better when I removed the ducting to the hood (this tent is very small). It is still kept very close to remove as much heat as possible.
The truth is I am from So cal, but moved up to Berkeley for school. People here do refer to the bay area as Nor Cal. I am honestly just glad I am away from way down south. There is way to many really expensive trucks down there that I can't afford... With really huge dirt tires that are really clean and never seen dirt...:cool:

thanks for the laugh....i know those trucks...you don't see many up here...we use our trucks :jointsmile:

my moms dad was masters grad at UC Bezerkley....know the place well :thumbsup:

look forward to watchin your grow demo:smokin:

cool!!!
I look forward to the LED Grow Show.
Might see me with an LED sometime soon. :thumbsup:

This grow I am happy with the way I pruned my plants. I did some measuring today and the top of my plants are 1 foot from the bulb and the bottom of the buds are 2ft. Lollipoping my plants seemed to work nice. Each plant is growing one, 1ft long bud. Each a perfect distance from the light.
The plants are in 5 1/2 " pots filled with rockwool cubes. The smaller pot size seemed to help with stretch, along with using the blue light the first two weeks of flowering.
I really want to take some nicer pictures.

hey bro...get yourself some Bushmaster in there an no worry about the stretch ever...puts your girls into flower faster and better yield at the end with one application before putting them into flower...martyr has good write up using it in his EPIC BLUE DREAM grow...he has it well documented :thumbsup:

I own bushmaster. I have used it quite a bit. I only use it in emergencies. It does work really well. One thing I noticed is it seems using it my plants lack quality in the final product. This could possibly be due to the fact that the plant skips the stretch, finishing the plant a couple weeks early. I noticed a slight decrease in quality of final product. I do not like rushing my plants. In my opinion the slower the better. Like Organics. It takes longer yet usually comes out better.
I do use bushmaster only when I have to.
side note: i own gravity and purple max as well. i was thinking treating half my plants with purple max this grow and half not. just to test it out. I use it in every grow yet never compared end results.

right on:thumbsup:

i have the same...purple maxx i think is really good in helping trich development...but gravity is one of those products that sits in the cabinet and i wonder if i should use it or not...i,ve had some issues with it in the past with bleaching out the tops and ruining that nice top cola:wtf:

Gravity. If you have kind of tight buds it will make them rockhard BUT if the strain does not have hard or dense bud. Then it will stress them bad with little to no results. I stopped trying to make fluffy strains rock hard.

Interesting stuff there.
I think what i shall do then is test the purple max on half and gravity on half of the ones treated with purple max and half of the ones not treated with purple max.
so i get only purple max, gravity-purple max, only gravity.
this will be a nice test.
Thanks guys!!!

"I noticed (this could be my imagination) better growth and more trichome development under the light with no glass."

This is not your imagination. I've had to prove this many times to people by using any simple light meter. Fixed bulb, fixed meter, piece of optical glass from an expensive flat bed scanner. Got the light placed where the meter read 1000. Put the glass in right against the bulb, dropped to about 900. Moved the glass down by three inches, 500.

Glass reflects, after all. :)
