All good, I didn't take it as anything like that, I just didn't want to be micromanaging your grow, or honestly be held responsible if things took a turn for the worse.
Ppm is one of those things that I generally keep fairly low. Any time I've gone over about 1.5ec or 750ppm on the 0.5 scale...
They are showing all sort of signs of overfeeding and nutrient ratios being out of wack. I don't think what you're seeing is fading as much as it is just, what happens to plants in the last half of flower, especially with a wacky nutrient load. You've got a lot going on in that res. And that...
Not familiar with the meter but is it reading on the .7 scale instead of the .5 scale? That could explain the higher than predicted reading.
Personally I'd be aiming for something closer to 1.2 to 1.3ec. Maybe 1.5 if they're dialed in. That's on a .5 scale.
Giberellin in Massive does that. I used to use a negative temp differential when using it to combat that, but they still get leggy.
I still say he is pushing the food way too hard. Has hard looking thin purple stems and burnt tips on pale green leaves that are showing signs of Potassium...
I never said anything about using far red light near on/off in flower only, you must have misread something there.
As for the rest, I'm not sure, but I don't think that's exactly true about the sun being full after the first hour or so. Peak UV only lasts for a few hours early afternoon...
I can't remember where I saw it but I think some places have found a benefit to using a lot of far red before lights go out and after lights come on for a short period of time to mimic the spectrum at sunrise/sunset.
But I don't remember what the benefit is... I dont think maximum intensity is...
It's not just LED, I've had stems go purple on me indoors under HID before also, when outdoors they don't.
It's a complicated difference that i dont really understand. Outdoors, plants are in their natural environment, they generally have MUCH higher brix in the sap when tested, they're...
So not only do you have overconfident ignoramuses dropping knowledge turds everywhere, now you have to watch out for AI bots regurgitating and repeating their nonsense?
What a time to be alive...
Those ppfd numbers seem awfully low. I've comfortably run 600-800 ppfd in mid to late veg and 1100 ppfd in flower using both HID and LED with lush green stems, no added Co2 in a vented grow.
And why are you repeatedly calling it Algriculture?
Could be for sure, it doesn't always have to be yellow leaves, yours appears to be showing anthocyanin pigmentation which is only really noticeable when chlorophyll degrades. Some plants will fade out yellow, some redish, some purple.
I've seen a lot of variability in clones from the same mother, some grow bigger, some smaller some produce more weight, taste better, ripen differently etc. I think a lot has to do with how metabolically active they are, which is determined by a host of variables.
I had a shishkaberry plant that...
Bingpot.
Degredation of chlorophyll is a key indicator of plant senescence. Think about tree leaves in the Fall. Don't see a green tree dropping leaves do you.
Same here. I met a lot of pot growers in my first year though lol, typical for Kwantlen in BC hort programs. When I discovered you could only get crappy low paying jobs at nurseries and greenhouses and that all the head growers making decent scratch had Dutch last names, I switched gears over to...
I can't believe how cheap they are now. We paid like $1500 or something stupid. Can buy them for $350-400 now.
Probably still worth renting. They take up a fair bit of space for something you use kinda infrequently.
Those tumble trimmers are a bit better than these rubber finger deals, never heard about the broccoli thing but the weed kinda does look like broccoli as it's getting worked in them 😆
Yeah it's risky with 240 running through a standard outlet. We only had to fry one $350 atomizer by plugging it into a 240v outlet by accident to come up with a system.. after that we mounted the 240's upside down and used metal covers with "240" written above them, and mounted them up high on...
