My perpetual grow journal

On the same note, not hard to plug it back in right too

Well, I think it is a minor miracle that we have as much success as we do seeing as we are often/always high while gardening! So cut yourself a break!
I really like the switches, but the danger with them is potentially leaving them off. I flip them off just before the timer goes off to water quickly in the morning. By the time I am done the timer is off and the switch is off. If I am not going to be there to water again when the lights come back on, I have to remember to flip the switch back on! It isn't usually a concern, because I am always there to water when the lights come on - but you can see where the problem would lie

 

[RosettaStoned]

I do. I'm in there at the beginning of the light cycle so I wouldn't have to worry about that.....unless I'm so high I don't notice light 🤣

 

[Campesino]

Well, it looks like you're growing some good stoney bud, so be careful

I did expirement with the mh during flush I had heard about a possible 10% increase to thc and had to try. If you have a lens take it off the uvb won't penetrate the lens. Be careful and use sunglasses when inspecting. But I'm not to sure it increased the production of trichs as my grow was pollinated. I also experimented with a 32 hour dark period. My first grow was better no dark period but I'd like to see the side by side in Augusts' challenge. I may try it again with the mh during harvest window for another side by side. I do believe my nugs benefited from it though. We will see for sure when August's harvest comes.

It's just plexi over the LEDs. I not sure it will be enough blue even. I rebuilt the light with 35k cobs and 65k monos. I could try it with the 125 cfl I have, it's 65k only.

 

[Chefbjy]

The idea is to produce uv-b rays in the harvest window. Uv-b rays cause sunburn and can really mess with your eyes. Trichs are like sunscreen so the theory is more uv-b = more trichs. Though this hasn't been confirmed and there is little debate on the topic. I know mh puts out uv-b without the lens on not sure about leds or the ability to make uv-b with them.

 

[RosettaStoned]

It's full spectrum like any other light. They hit all the wave lengths not just a specific range. I get the idea, just wasn't sure the blues would be strong enough or if they would just get washed out by the cobs.

 

[oldjarhead100]

you could get a 2 foot t5 with uvb bulbs and turn it on while in tent and off when you leave unless you want seeds then leave it on

 

[RosettaStoned]

Interesting....nodes growing from node points? A PExWW I topped has three growing from the seventh and two on the sixth. There's are already well established branches with new shooting out from the stipules. Maybe it's normal but with my limited experience it's a first for me.

 

[oldjarhead100]

Rosetta it is normal and you want to remove them they will just suck energy from the rest of the plant and wont get big enough to get a nug from sorry man, I try and remove then from all the branches so the will grow out more

 

[Paracelsus]

What he said ^^^^^but I always imagined you as a woman. Isn’t that strange how we have a picture in our head of people we have never seen.

 

[RosettaStoned]

Whatcha sorry for ojh?
A women......hmmmm....thanks for that

 

[Paracelsus]

Rosetta is a feminine pronoun, besides an archaic time piece. My bad.

 

[Californiakid]

I've seen The Rosetta Stone at British Museum when I was a lad. I may try another language with rosetta stone on my laptop. Lol🤣

But Rosettastoned, is a cool dude that can grow 👍🌱

 

[RosettaStoned]

Just poking fun man. I'm a sarcastic person and give most people a hard time. Although on here I do bite my tongue often. Not sure my sarcasim will be taken as a joke. When at work we live off the rule "check your feelings at the door", if you can't take joke GTFO! Paracelsus

 

[RosettaStoned]

This came out today and I was much more looking forward to this than this seemingly arbitrary holiday. Everyday is 420 for me

Also got a hand delivered package with some clones. Island sweet skunk and goo. Goo is suppose to be like killawatt. Both of those (killawatt and ISS) are strains this guy grew and we enjoyed years ago. Glad to see they are still around! I get to grow them myself now....good as time as any to try out my super soil mix I made at the beginning of February. I did put some small aloe plants, from the mother I had...now dead, in some of this to see how it goes with them.

 

[RosettaStoned]

It's one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands. If you're not familiar, it's a song about being abducted and being the chosen one to tell the world what's coming. He forgets what he has to say

 

[RosettaStoned]

I do the best I can with the knowledge I have to this point. I hope to get better in the future.... Maybe keep up with some of the folks on here

 

[KingKush]

Well aren't you just a lucky duck! Nice looking clones
