My strain I am fond of does turn purple somewhat at the end. Interesting point.
I am pretty sure there is something about the 500-525 nm green spectrum that is directly responsible for stimulating something in my cultivar that makes the terpene development really shine.
You guys, if you have a strain that is good for Crohn's, try flowering it/finishing it under a horti blue MH 1k. I did, it was the most amazing thing since sliced bread. Serious. It is absolutely worth it, even at $170 a pop.
BTW the Natural White line from Venture duplicates that spectrum exactly, including the huge peak in green @ 500-525 nm. But they only go up to 775 watts. They also have a 575 watt, both vert and horizontal. The vert produces 10% more light than the horizontal. These lamps also have like a 15 or 20k hour lifespan, which is so much better than Horti's 6k hour lifespan.
I fully intend to add vert 6s in my canopy, and to at the very least finish with those 575 watters from Venture. And finish with 1/2 digilux MHs overhead, and 1/2 Horti blue MHs overhead.
Seriously, that peak in green is so important. My plants bothered to tell me about it. Any time they make the effort to communicate something so directly to me, it ends up being so important to their health, which is important to my health.
We made a deal. Fucked up things happened to me, and to put it bluntly, I am still stuck partially in the spirit world. I felt the end coming with my dying body, I felt the coma coming, and shit changed for me. It is like being enshrouded partially in a fog that obscures this world and connects me to that one. It is not good or cool, it is having to feel the next place I will go to when it is that time, a constant shitty reminder. We are not supposed to feel that place day in and day out.
I made a deal with the plant, we have an agreement. It helped keep me alive with the understanding that I would learn how to dial it and share it, get it out there. So I could help somehow. So I could make it the same level of quality that I accidentally achieved on the first test run of the 6 chemo x og clones I ran during the selection process. Cut #1 ended up straight up grail quality. As in far better and stronger than anything else I have smoked in 23 years. I am trying to dial in the environment and food to figure out exactly how to make it like that again. And then hopefully you all will end up being able to have your patients smoke that, and see if it could heal them like it did me.
I do not care about much else in life but reproducing that and sharing it.
People close to me don't get it. They have never almost died. I sound kooky as fuck, but it is what happened to me. I no longer care about looking like the weirdest person in the thread lol.
So when I talk about the green spectrum being so important, it is not me saying it, it is me repeating what the plants told me.
Thanks for listening you guys.
