like i said, not because it's a fuller spectrum of light
In my case it’s a combo of the shortened photoperiod and using far red leds to simulate the Emerson effect. I just chopped a 60 day strain at day 51 with amber trics. Could have taken her at day 47.

More light intensity par at the canopy equals more photosynthesis more hormones put into growth which in return grows not only bigger but faster I think:bookworm:

Apologies @JWM2 ! I'm realizing my reply probably came off bitchy. :sweating: Sorry! I'm just so into this new info and so i reacted to your post about its spectral aspects and it came off, well, bitchy. :speechless:
Preach it brotherThat is a real interesting point. But hps has limited blues and no uv really compared to sunlight or cmh.
So maybe hps increases flowering time. Because i ran 3 rounds of 3 known cuttings to test.
By the way.
Best results for quality and yield were using both hps and cmh overlapped.
Oh no worries. I figured you didn't mean it that way. I'm a pretty easy going guy. I was just hoping you weren't taking what I was saying as if I was disagreeing with you :)
I grew under cobs and now I have QB led's, and yes I see flowering time 1 week sooner with most strains.
View attachment 856200 So my buddy sends a pic of his plant what is it bleached from light?
I think the higher levels of blue cause the plants to have less stretch and initiate flowering sooner.
With just hps. Even hortilux with 25% blue there is more stretch and more flower sites developing before initial budding.
My opinion anyway.
Sorry wrong postView attachment 856200 So my buddy sends a pic of his plant what is it bleached from light?
Sorry wrong post
Preach it brother
i was so curious to hear your guys' diagnosis!
I’m addicted to this site i feel I can grow anything because of it loli was so curious to hear your guys' diagnosis!
I might be wrong but looking for a nice par value across the entire canopy evenly distributed to get maximum light intensity to the tops of each plant to maximize flower size but apparently there’s even more cause spectrum plays a roll to bid I need to read more journals and learn about that next. There’s a cool YouTube video of a guy growing lettuce under different colored lights and they all respond different. I’m gonna start there. I would post it but it’s not copying for some reason.@UncleRomulus and @MIMedGrower and anybody else i can ask: since this old dog is learning new tricks, may i ask what you do not like about the LEDs? I always used HPS and metal halide but damn the right LED sounds like a big improvement. I'd very much appreciate your thoughts...
