Moontang Mystery Day 36

I couldn't agree more. The only thing I do differently is strip the large fan leaves to allow slightly more air flow around the huge flowers.

Yes, I personally believe the over all quality is better in a longer, slower drying process. It seems to really bring the aromas and flavors forward in an even more pronounced expression as opposed to single branch hanging. I also believe drying and curing practices are just as important as the...

Great photos too. They look awesome 😎

It takes a lot longer to dry, but I personally prefer whole plant hang drying as well vs. singular branch.

I've seen time and again growers think they have an intersex plant, a.k.a. a "Herm" and cull it. I wanted to explain the difference between a pistillate calyx and an intersex plant. A female plant having primordia pre floral nodes is a normal female organ and isn't suspect but rather very...

OG Kush x Trainwreck 🤔 Can't wait to see this new addition. Looking great as usual @MIMedGrower Hopefully you're still feeling better each day and moving around is getting a little easier.

Here's another video if anyone is still interested. There's good information throughout, but you can skip ahead to about the 10 minute mark for an LED/HPS lab tested comparison. At 18:30 he briefly touches on UV lighting.

I use IR as well. I've researched enough to feel confident that it's better for the plant with it, vs. without. That's why testing a side by side is the furthest thing from my mind. I'm personally already convinced they're beneficial. I don't work in the tent while they're on. Come on...

No, I haven’t. I’ve been using them ever since I switched to LED. I haven’t conducted a grow without them. I wish I could offer you more, but I’ve never personally ran any tests for a side by side comparison.
