Thanks Max!

Btw, I have to shout out Roots Organics (Aurora) Soul line. I have been playing with a combo of Soul Grow, Grow N, Amino Aide, and Infinity. I like what I see so far. Their solubility plays so nicely with the coco while they are also still playing nice with my otherwise organic environment.

Time to talk about growing pattern! Specifically light, because this is by far the most interesting topic to me.

Bugbee identifies 9 primary factors to consider when optimizing the environment for a plant. I don't remember them all, but the one he is most interested in is light. I think nutes are mostly solved, or at least 85%+ of the way there. CO2, temperature, and humidity are all very well studied. Air movement, yes. Oxygen at the root level, yes. Microorganisms in the soil is getting there.

In terms of light, there are four main factors I can identify: timing, intensity, direction of the source, and spectrum.

With regards to understanding the optimal spectrum, I am VERY interested in learning how the sun differs in various places and seasons, since plants seem to like the sun, more or less.

So this article, which is so cutting edge it's from the god damn future, is pretty interesting to me: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016819232030143X

When I read this paper, and others on far red, I think I see a couple of things. First, I have a strong suspicion that we are underrating just how much far red tropical plants get. I think that has something to do with why things grow there so well (as opposed to trying to get similar solar intensity...I don't think it's just intensity at all). Two, far red sends signals to plants that they need to grow faster because they are in the shade via phytochrome. At least, that is what several papers from the 70s think.

So I am overindexing on far red if that possible. I am running 3 of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Far-Red-700nm-Grow-Light-Kit-20-High-Efficiency-Initiator-Single-Light/133268554971?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=20160908105057&meid=3630999c8d304c5e85dbc3eca301abdd&pid=100675&rk=1&rkt=15&mehot=none&sd=133268554971&itm=133268554971&pmt=1&noa=1&pg=2380057&brand=Unbranded&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:d6979178-dc16-11ea-bcb2-74dbd1809341|parentrq:df5a99791730a9e53846888fffffe4e4|iid:1

That is quite a bit of far red as far as I can tell. Almost 100 diodes where before I was using like 6 in my P1500. Like 16 watts worth. This will be an interesting experiment.

I will also do more experimentation with UV, perhaps from a relatively early age, because I am convinced it has something to do with terpenes in not just pot but plants generally.

This is a good video on far red:


The fact that you're using information from Utah State University makes me laugh. They do have a really good agricultural program though.
 
I took them out to have a look at them today. Everyone is looking really nice...even Cheese is quietly putting it together. I am hopeful I will get some more height before they settle in to flower, but if I do this right from here I think I am going to end up with a pleasing harvest. The amount I am ahead of where I was last time is already ridiculous...only one of my plants branched this well last time.

Lights are sitting at 45k lux at canopy (up from 35k). If they grow to where I want them, that should be roughly 60k, which is what i found to be my max last time.
 
I'm amazed at your progress so far. I started my first grow on the 16th and haven't seen near the amount of progress that you have. Granted this has been an experimental grow using some seeds from some seedy weed. Still waiting on my actual seed order to come in ... apparently it was intercepted in Chicago. Thank god for guaranteed delivery.

Do you have a diary?
 
A little what's up from the homies. I put cheese on a cage to give her some height. This is day 43 since first cotyledons spread.

Milson......you need to consider making gummies. I have a great recipe and they are much better for pain/discomfort than smoking. I’ll put up a recipe in my thread. And you don’t have to bother with making hash.
H, sorry to intrude, I am on my first grow, was considering how to get the most from my plants, and was interested in edibles... do you have a link for your gummy recipe please ?
 
Thoroughly enjoying the grow.......... I'm rooting for the Sweet Zombie. LOL

Thanks! I'm so curious to see how your sweet zombies react to defoliation. The ridiculous branching on this girl has been a shock.

I started one on paper. I suppose I could write something here. Would definitely be useful to get feedback from you guys.
Did you start on September 16 or August 16?
 
What light you got them under bro and how far away is it

Cheers max

2 x Viparspectra P1500. The light is maybe...16 inches? Tbh I just use my light meter for lux and don't break out the measuring stick often but I can check today.
