THE TRAINWRECK. Brought to you by thcfarrmer…..

Would anybody on here feel offended if somebody would refer to buds as "honks" or "titts"? Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems harmless to me. Doesn’t bother me but that’s my two pennies.

Yeah its kinda strange. Somebody kept calling his buds like that (on the live plants) and I picked it up somehow - even though its not really funny. Somebody was like "Can we please stop with the honk stuff already, thank you - nice plants though". 🤪 (didn't happen on this forum)

Seems they get offended by the smallest things. Different generation I guess. On here I was always able to push the weirdness level to the limit and it seems people were ok with it so far.

🤣🤣🤣 I'll post the next photo of my foxtails with it

Some of the threads have their moments but weird is standard on the Trainwreck. That’s what makes it amazing. And the members who participate can take a joke which helps. Can’t have thin skin on this thread 🤣

This one is always messing with my mind:



He was a strange character and some might even say he was a hipocrite, but there is something to his words.

plants in nature dont see mid day spectrum white and blue light 45 mins before darkness, thats for sure.

it is no secret how comfy and pleasant the color of light in the mornings and evening is.

plants dont just get blasted from morning to night with full strength noon day light. Ive been wanting a full spectrum panel tuned as close to the natural sun's spectrum at mid day ad the tropic of cancer on the fall equinox. Not a panel tweaked to maximize Umol/watt output exclusively.

having a red shift feature for the first hour and last hour would only be even better. it shocks me to my core that a company hasnt made this light yet, ive been wanting one for like 10 years now. all of the necessary tech is there.... theyre too concerned with efficiency and direct Umol output right now though.

eventually ima get frustrated enough with the grow light companies to just make my own. Its been an empty niche in the market for close to a decade, a niche in the market that would genuinely explode if a manufacturer actually had the thought to try and fill it.


ive sent easily a dozen emails to engineering departments of different grow light companies explaining this idea and inquiring why no grow light companies are doing this, and every single time i get told thats a brilliant idea, and then nothing ever comes from it.... it blows my mind. The first grow light company to put out a decently affordable light with multiple dimming sections by quadrant, independently adjustable height by quadrant, single discrete extrenal power supply, tuned to match the suns spectrum rather then just be as efficient as possible, with a morning and evening red shift feature...

This wouldnt be a difficult product to manufacture, and it wouldn't cost a fortune if designed well either. Im already doing this manually with my modular 4 panel setup with switchable deep red extensions. sometimes i forget, but i switch on the deep red an hour before lights off, and go turn it back off an hour or two into light on next day. the setup cost me about $160 to improvise together, and the only thing its missing is a true sunlike spectrum for mid day. All that needs done there is tweeking the specvtrum to get as close to sun as possible, DAMN the efficiency imho. This light would substantially out perform a light tuned to simply just be as efficient with umol output as possible. Imho, the results would likely not even be comparable.... is going to QUICKLY corner the entire LED *commercial* grow light market. Damn near the entire thing. Almost guaranteed.


Grow light companies are idiots imho. Hunting efficiency alone, is like all the modern breeders making breeding choices souly on centrifuge terp readouts and THC test reports alone, rather then how much they enjoy smoking the weed they are producing. It seems like it makes sense, but it actually doesn't. Thats why ever new gen of a given grow light is a different damn color in the spectrum, theyre just hunting efficiency numbers, literally nothing else. They dont actually care at all what the spectrum is as long as the umol/watt spec is higher then their competitors.


some are doing the red shift thing now, but most still havent figured out that tropic of cancer at mid day fall equinox thing either. theyre more concerned with adding things like UV and actinic leds that just stress out your plants into higher resin production rather then stimulate it naturally. Which very much comes with total dry yield hits. If a company makes a light like this, we''ll start seeing outdoor sized colas in our tents overnight but with the quality and consistency of indoor runs. And the FACT that on a solid run, outdoor grown flower is *always* better compared to the same clone indoors, will become a thing of the past as well. (there is no exception to this rule ime, besides a poor growing season or excessively and unnecessarily inbred lineages that have no business growing under the boiling nuclear furnace that is our star anyway)


its almost annoying no one has manufactured this light that's literally begging to exist and corner the market... yet. Someone's gonna wise up and do it eventually though, probably soon.

Nah there are a lot of older folks that are all kinds of sensitive too, it's an overall societal problem IMHO. People are given a fantasy of what reality is ✌️

a grow light company needs to put some effort and money into realizing LED designs with gates that cycle more then 100-120hz too. It would only take an additional transformer or OpAmp to accomplish for the most part. The difference going from 50hz magnetic transformer to 20khz digital ballast on an HPS bulb was easily 10x more noticeable directly directly than the difference between a generic bulb and a good hortilux. If it wasnt for the infrared and efficiency hit, and grow space design annoyances, id still be using 20khz digital HPS lighting.

even on good constant current drivers i still get the bars if im not careful taking a picture, so theyre definitely cycling under 120hz


The led's in my computer monitor are 1000hz behind a 120hz display. Yet my grow lights are chugging along at roughly 100hz. That annoys me.
