Calling out to DreadedHermie for a game of "stoner chess"

[oldmac]

I learn more about what you guy's are doing by stopping by the chess board then reading your grow section posts!

Hey DH, that is one very ambered closeup and just red and blue? Honestly the first time I've seen that occur....wonder if it's a product of just being dead nuts at peak red or...you sure no far red or something?:wtf:
BTW I have said the TI's will stop a plant in it's upward tracks. Not long ago had a exchange with Apollonia about where the "sweet" spot is for growing with the Procyon and TI, too close no growth, too far no growth or just stretch. And your right about the skeptics, first it was LEDs don't work then if they see that they do it becomes something else...like my partner.:wtf:

Yo Weez, you are right that there is no magical missing chord when it comes to a good 2 color LED light....but there might be just a couple of extra notes that could sweeten the tune.

Have you guys read "the PAD manual" and what do you think? Can someone explain it?

Actually, they've seen his 8' tubes, and so, had choke UV.
I had the same reaction until he 'splained what they saw.

Perhaps.
So far, it ain't broke.:jointsmile:
And legally, I can't afford higher yield.
I am a soft touch though, if my girls want somethin'...
So far they no complain.
Had me worried, thought they were closet males.

Well, I read it.
What I gathered is, If I micro-manage temporally, and spectrally , (hey a new word!), I can fool the plants into a quicker harvest. A whole week or two!
Big woop.
I supposed it's $$ for the commercial growers.
But me? I'm a lazy zard
I'd druther spend that time talkin' to da girls an tokin' on dere moms.

Aloha,
In no hurry, 'zard

Here's an update on the Lemon Skunk grow-off.
[attachment=o233622]

Outdoors for true color photo.
Then right back under R/B leds.
The coco is in a bigger pot, because she grew out of her shoes first.
Mind, I've been using my hydro nutes on both so the ph is low for soil and probably are over-kill as well.
Next I'll give Issack some cuttings in coco and a 3 gallon jug of nuted water to put up against a dirty girl or two.

Inokea 'bout Beeg, I kea 'bout easy,
I gettem bot'?
So ono it broke da mout'!:rastasmoke:

Okay, Okay...KR - KB1

I was busy reviewing trich footage. I got some browning on that all-led run I did, too. That was the plant beside the measuring tape that Mac overlooked...:lol5:

I really don't think the shortwaves from the 3000K had much to do with this. The buds directly under/beside fluoro were less well developed with less ambers than the buds directly under led.

Looking for pics.

These are from plant "3-10" (cause that's when I flipped her). There's a little amber there, right?

All led. Not enough light though. Just my 6 + 2 and a Procyon in a 2 x 5' scrog (a deep one ) These plants were a little scraggly cause they were very crowded. Ran them 13-14 weeks, which is usual for this strain, except with adequate light they look like the pic above ^. I would normally just let them keep ripening trichs and adding new ones, but I wanted to ungrade the lighting and get some others started so I harvested these "twin sisters."


EDIT: Hey, you can probably tell, but these were shot on the living plant. Trichs on the cured bud pick up some opacity as they age, seems like.

[DreadedHermie]

Here's the other sister, 3-13. This was the plant in the pic with the yardstick. Sorry about the focus, all I had of dis one. There aren't a lot of crispy trichs, but there's a lotta kinda "champagne" colored ones dat are nice and plump. I'm still pretty much thinkin', with leds this means your plant's ready.

Just noticed the leds are on in these shots. Probably some red/blue/purple reflection, etc.

Dang! Now I'm gonna need to do another indoor bloom to try to duplicate that.

Your queen is overworked.

That coco plant's a nice size. Nice pot size, too. You can prolly skip a day watering with dat if you need to (indoors, anyway.)

I picked up a "Dutch table" the hydro guy called it. About a meter long, like a little horse trough. Has a molded-in drain channel. Sposta hold big blocks of rockwool, but gallon milk jugs fit it perfectly. Thinking of doing hand-watered drip-to-waste in coco next time, using these troughs. Raise 'em up off the floor a ways, incline slightly for drainage, and drop a drain hose into a runoff bucket. Once ya get dat dialed in ya hardly even need to check it any more. Just mix yer nutes according to recipe, and water to generous runoff. Use dat onna veggies. Easy enough to automate with drippers (for short-term) if necessary, too.

Just want something bigger than a gallon--thassa mandatory daily watering. Found some kitty litter in plastic jugs that are like a couple milk jugs side-by-side, little fatter, too... I'm just annoyed by how roots develop in rectangular pots. What you think?
