Ya I have seen 2 years of your grows.. U say you designed the spyder light for bml? Do you work for them?
Just a thought, but if you did some selective defol as the plant grew and did away with the kids erector set, you would be able to get more tops at canopy level and you might be able to utilize that light a little better..
Do you use GH nutes/? I seen the look on your roots the way mine used to look when I used GH nutes.. I changed over to Cns17 and they dont stain the roots, they come back clear...
I do not work for BLM.
At the time I contacted them (early 2013) they were making 2 lights; one for veg, one for flower. Neither had any white diodes, so one had to pay $2K
I had several harvests using white only t5 bulbs (5000k and 3000k), and/or led screw bulbs of same kelvin. I suggested that I could create a mix of white red and blue that could be dual purpose, saving customers a ton of money which would make his SPYDR more customer friendly. He agreed to let me select the monos. Alas, I did not get everything I wanted as his production line was not set up for it. I wanted 2 red bars and the ability to turn them on only when needed for bloom. Consequently I could not get as many reds or they would have caused too much stretch in veg
I do defol, but when I grow long lanky sats, the buds are too heavy for the stems, requiring support: enter the cube
I have been using NPK RAW nutes for several grows ( they are brown, get darker as EC increases). I made a ton of mistakes using them incorrectly last grow. Summer heat here is intense, pouring through my open beam ceiling. This makes it hard to keep rez cool enough, plus not calibrating pH pen regularly. It was way off, thee combination resulted in the ugly stringy roots
