I’d think pulsing it just before too much DNA damage occurs, letting it heal, then hit again.
Need tissue sample analysis perhaps though

Yeah though it's the darker regions of the red colour (~700-780nm) that will cause this stretching, whereas the brighter or normal red 600-690nm rather supresses it. Though it's also based on the total ratios of the light recipe, I've seen studies with pure blue light that caused extreme stretching, as well as 'the red light syndrome'. So a healthy mixture is always required.I like the spectral manipulation, I like using higher blue ratio for keeping plants shorter and more compact, tighter node spacing, red will stretch em out more.
Eitherway I like how it is growing there, reminded me of an image on google years ago of a plant growing around a sphere like cage of chicken wire with a hps in the center of it.
Saw two YT interviews with him where he said UVB for +THC doesn't work, refering to Magagnini et al, and that Lydon was in error, but I just can't follow his argument. And wish he would get to the bottom of this, I personally think it's genetic/chemotype based. And that UV needs to be dialed in properly in relation to the other light. As there are many who swear by it, but also say that even UVA already does the job to some extent.I believe bugbee is playing around with hitting some plants with UVC, wouldn’t be surprised if they release a paper in the coming years
I may be able to manually expose a few select branches every day, or every other day, to a short dosage of 254nm, and later observe if trichomes change form/shape/density/colorI’d think pulsing it just before too much DNA damage occurs, letting it heal, then hit again.

I’d like to agree with you, think I’ve seen the same vids and source you are referring to.Saw two YT interviews with him where he said UVB for +THC doesn't work, refering to Magagnini et al, and that Lydon was in error, but I just can't follow his argument.

Yes and these get higher ppfd, too. That's why Lydon used a Colombian sativa, outdoors in a greenhouse, and just supplied higher UVB. Result was linear increase, more on buds than leaves. But no increase/effect on CBD chemotype.I’d like to agree with you, think I’ve seen the same vids and source you are referring to.
I mean in theory, the plants should produce something, “that natural sunscreen” to protect against the harmful UV rays
I think the genetics that grew more on the mountain ranges, closer to the sun, less atmosphere where more UV Can get through would be good candidates.
I’m sure he’ll get to the bottom of it eventually
Yeah and the ones with lower wavelength will also generate ozone, this can reach sites hidden from the radiation, or neutralize odor.UV Is beneficial regardless lol
I’d like to integrate it for sterile systems, water and air purification.
I fuckin love this growHello Farmers,
this day been working on the big 12/12 tent
View attachment 1256405
as it became too crowded
View attachment 1256407
View attachment 1256406
almost like a jungle XD
View attachment 1256409
so some defoliation was in order
View attachment 1256400
and further retracted the nets to the walls, by tomorrow a stronger HPS will burn so I need more distanceView attachment 1256402
also removed many little lower branches
the architecture of most these plants now looks like this
View attachment 1256399
big mainstem, some sideshoots left n right
with this defoliation I'm trying to promote new shoots at these shoots
and then hopefully they soon start buding out
Hehe yeah I'm gonna take some pics later this evening when both tents are at lights again. Because of the 28 hour cycle the times to catch these changes daily.=)
keep it goin.
Awesome how you get so thick stems already in these solocups. Are you preparing for a Sea-of-Green with all these clones?Love it
These come on in 22 minutes,
4hours on, 2 hours off.
