check this out, fast forward to the growth chambers if you dont wanna watch the whole thing, thought those were just so fucking cool. (loud warning)Thank you sir
I use a 500 watt desk heater hooked to an Inkbird. Year round. Of course I live in the middle of Alaska. Again on information from this man and the program at Utah State."on cooler than warm nights, plants can be more sensitive to light---/leaks"
the more you know....
yup, i always say, i mean the guy designed/helped/did the research for growing plants in FUCKING SPACE, lol.Bugbee is the only person I’ve ever hit YouTube to watch. Switched to LED last year. Seedlings stretched like mad. Turn up the light. Next day they looked like white plastic plants. Never seen anything like it. I do mean ivory white. Obviously I needed some understanding. Saw his name here. Went there.
Bought a cheaper quantum PAR meter after a couple of the vids. Had to watch a couple more than once to get a more complete understanding. Immediate payoff. Immediate. He’s the only thing I refer growers to for reference. I mean the guy is a scientist with PhD. I’ve graduated college with just a few PhDs actually lecturing. He’s amazing and I thank him.
Id love to go there and research botany/cannabis for a few, hell why not go for a PhDI use a 500 watt desk heater hooked to an Inkbird. Year round. Of course I live in the middle of Alaska. Again on information from this man and the program at Utah State.
i can not get enough, could listen to this research for hours, wanna do some my self.Again on information from this man and the program at Utah State.
brighter nights /reflection on snow perhaps, plus the cold. (if outdoors/windows)I use a 500 watt desk heater hooked to an Inkbird. Year round. Of course I live in the middle of Alaska. Again on information from this man and the program at Utah State.
I immediately saw I needed to take notes. Finished watching it and ordered the meter and I use it regularly. Regularly. But before it came I took pen and paper and watched it again. The basic video explaining all the terms and their relationship to light. Just fantastic information I put to use immediately.i can not get enough.
My first winter this side of the Alaska Range I brought in 6 plants I’d vegged outdoors under the midnight sun. Single room cabin. No tent. Put them the only place I could fit them and slammed a baby gate down on them. They’d been topped and aggressively supercropped.brighter nights /reflection on snow perhaps, plus the cold.

could be negligible, but you can test with youre meter!
Haha babygated plant.My first winter this side of the Alaska Range I brought in 6 plants I’d vegged outdoors under the midnight sun. Single room cabin. No tent. Put them the only place I could fit them and slammed a baby gate down on them. They’d been topped and aggressively supercropped.
Kept the lights off mostly but I’d turn the light on over the stove once in a while and watched movies on the television. No hermies. No weird shit. Had to tie that baby gate to nails in the floor. These were right next to a plexiglass window that was cracked. Ice would build up. Hit -58F and was regularly -40. That 1000 watt HPS was welcome heat. But have a wood stove plus an oil heater so it didn’t go from hot to cold.
I’ve seen great plants outdoors near or even under streetlights. Go figure with HPS. So basically no real dark but they flower.Haha babygated plant.
I don’t get anal as fuck about the lights.
It seems as long as you don’t actually turn on a grow light over them or continuous light when they need that dark time, it don’t really affect them as much.
Atleast not for the hobby grower perhaps.
I’m at 13hours rn, I’d go to 13 1/2, 14 but also don’t wanna push it too much and go into reveg, while they’re doing pretty decent.
This kitchen light is on a lot, tent isn’t always zipped, and leave it open some for environment purposes.
Probably negligible issues from light
The male I had before is probably the culprit for some balls/seeds but for the most part, the plants I want are flowering nicely.
finishing bulking about and then ripening perhaps.
Exactly.I’ve seen great plants outdoors near or even under streetlights. Go figure with HPS. So basically no real dark but they flower.
i need to get a controller...I use a 500 watt desk heater hooked to an Inkbird. Year round. Of course I live in the middle of Alaska. Again on information from this man and the program at Utah State.
I started this years outdoor with 14 hrs on and increasing it weekly with my area sunrise/sunset times. This is the first year I started seeds for outside like this. I can say I have not noticed any difference in vegetative growth doing this versus starting at 18 hrs and decreasing to match sunrise/sunset before I put them outside.i might go for 14(on)-10 for this next flower, and see.
