Evolution is not "perfect", ask that from our tailbone. Or how about our wisdom teeth, that mostly cause us ilness instead of benefit?

Update, last day of week 7. Buds are really starting to frost up, and the colas still keep fattening up! It's amazing how the 3 biggest colas are the size of an 1.5l (quarter gallon) water bottle! They are not even showing signs of ripening like the other plants, so they must still have their...

Biobizz offers PH+/- that are organic. You can get them for 5 bucks.

I drench my rockwool cubes in boiling water before planting seeds or clones, a sure fire way to sterilize the cubes, and reduce risks of contamination further on.

One more photo with the can behind the bud. I think this gives you a better idea how wide these nugs actually are, they look a lot bigger in real life then in the photos.

End of week 6 update, buds really starting to fill out. You can see the two biggest colas compared to a pint sized can. Definitely don't have any regrets about using super-soil.

Water fasting is a great way to increase the speed of recovery for pretty much any ilness.

Yeah 1500ppfd in the middle of the tent, at what 18-24 inches? Measure the edges of your 4x4 space with a PAR meter, you will have 400-600ppf?

Then you made the right choice, as quantum boards are perfect for the electricity bill. They use half the Wattage of vipars or HPS to produce the same yield ;)

You also have to remember, the higher amount of watts you use, the more your yield per watt is reduced. When there is an abundance of light, the efficiency of plants to turn light into energy is reduced. Here is a chart of an HPS lamp. For Quantum boards the g/w is around double, cutoff will be...

If you want to max out yields, you need 1000PPF of light power hitting all areas of the canopy. In a 4x4 tent this will require around 1000 watts of quantum board lighting spread evenly around, or 1500-2000w of CMH/HPS /Blue-Red LED's Your 2 quantum boards will produce 200 watts of power, which...

Using Viparspectra lights I got the best results when blue channel was on for veg, and both channels on for flower. This is what their customer support also recommended. If looking for the best spectrum, my recommendation is 3000K+6000K+440nm blue for veg, 3000k+660nm+680nm+730nm for flowering...

You need more watts for flowering (and a higher quality watt source). Many times these "50w" CFL lamps are only 5-10 watts actual power. They are also very inneficient producing actual PAR output, and cause a lot of heat. I would suspect you have problems with heat stress, and overnuting, as the...

What strain is this? Looks like Girl Scout Cookies, really loving the foxtailing on it, looks unique.

You are very fine with the HLG lamps on their own, try running a full grow with them, and think about updating your lights after your first grow, if you feel like you need it. You can expect 1.5-2 grams per watt, with the quantum boards.

Looks very cheap, so it's prolly not gonna give you much boost in yield. But all lights are beneficial, sure hang it in with the quantum boards. If you run into temperature problems, I recommend removing it though. It most likely doesn't have far-red spectrum in it, so it's not gonna increase...

Man you really need to go to the gym and eat some proper food if 5 kilo's is heavy for you :D

1 vote for bud rot for me too. Cut away the infected colas, your gonna want to cut a few inches down on the infected area, to avoid the rot spreading.

End of week 5 update, the buds are really starting to bulge up. You can really start to see the different pheno traits of each plant. Pictures in order: - All plants - PK1 Hybrid, the plant in the middle - PK2 Sativa dominant strain - PK4 Indica dominant strain, (with a half a liter bottle next...

I can confirm this is absolutely true based on my studies. However too much blue can interfere with hormone production and reduce yields, as well as THC content (frostiness) of the buds. So it's better to dial in a 3000K lamp first, before adding blue or UV's to the mix. What I think is more...
