Just to br safe, have it checked out. Growing in altitude treated me unbelievably. I really hope that's not the case..Not yet, high desert in Cali, compared to north Georgia. Complete change like a virgin....gnite
Update:
Dropped humidity to 70rh,
Dropped lights to 7k.
Getting greener, absolutely ZERO
YELLOWING. Reflection causes yellowing.
Exactly! This experiment is to find out more about this issue. Why is there problems....at all?I got a feeling that with the CMH that's part of the issues, there seems to be a lot of difference between reflected ambient light and light coming straight off the source, there's a big intensity difference. Reflected light's probably better when it's concentrated to some degree and the intensity is sufficient.
When I was running CMH, i used to run 2 1000w DE units@1200w each, I would have probably been better off running a bunch of 400 watt units in an array instead, allowing for more spread, while lowering the unit further into the canopy, net gain in free intensity.
ie. the sun puts out more light than a distant supernova. These are were efficiency is greatly realized.
I notice a big difference between my Spyder type unit vs the Quantums, even with the same basic Samsung 301H diodes, spread out is way more efficient, and it can be dialed closer into a more spread out area, further increasing the gains. Then intensity can be further manipulated with the dial. for example, I'm at full strength on the quantum @4 foot, but I'm at 33% full power @ 2 foot with the spyder, with double the area at lower power.
Note the t5 I use in the background to supplement UV from the A-B spectrum, during flowering to increase terpenoid production and THC content/quality/complexity. aka "suntanning the plant with beneficial stressors."
Indeed, certain strains could become highly individualized with very specific lighting spectrum regimes, altering chemical profiles of oil/terpene content, and complexity. Trade secrets are likely to become obstacles to further progress, it's already happening. People don't want to give away their "edge"
A CMH has the correct spectrums for cannabis growth.Exactly! This experiment is to find out more about this issue. Why is there problems....at all?
But, by using the most effective reflection that's available, Orca, showed the problem like some roided out muscle head. Shocked at what happened there...wow!
And then reversing that completly, by absolutely shutting down ANY reflection, has shown such good promise.
All I am saying, is some light intensity like UV and now CMH if you reflect those 2 you will wish you hadn't. It's not something that you can measure with a lux meter. It's the sheer intensity of all those frac tiled beams concentrating THROUGH what we believe can be measured easily. Nope, try walking around under those conditions, honestly I can feel radiation, redhead, its like a microwave!
