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:

I think St. Zard thinks my little fluoros did it. Actually, that bud was a couplathreefour inches taller than the rest. Always had it too close to the lamp while the rest of the plant was a tad out of the sweet spot. Finally got annoyed enough with it to whack it off, and noticed it seemed "further along" than the rest of the plant.

BTW I have said the TI's will stop a plant in it's upward tracks. Seemed like I remembered that, but I didn't wanna put words in your mouth.
So, here's my UV test I did back when da sun had some UV to it. This was to observe the effect of short-term UV exposure on led-grown buds; looking for some possible flash-fry ambering of trichs. The proper way to do this would be with two live plants, exposing one to sunlight and not the other, and just compare them. But, I can't be wandering around here with plants under my arm, so...


I took 5 more buds from that same plant, trimmed the lower leaves and cut the stems at an angle:

Then, I stuck them in a block of Oasis Cube (the stuff florists use to keep cut flowers alive in arrangements) that I'd pre-saturated with pHed water. I figured those buds wouldn't know they'd been cut off for awhile.

Then, I set them asail in a bucket of cool, pH'ed water and set them out in some serious sun from 11am to 3pm. About half that time has hazy/light overcast, but there was plenny full rays. Human bean woulda been burnt up.
