INDOOR - OUTDOOR: the most efficient cash crop.

could be done if someone engineered weed plants with chlorophyll-F.

 

[goliath]

there goes that idea...

 

[SunGrown]

Not unless you're ready to play around with phytochrome manipulation, and that's a WHOLE other ball o' cheese.
It does. Beyond that, growing during winter months, the other limiter is temperature.

phytochrome manip wouldn't technically be sup lighting, but I suppose it could be argued that way. I will be doing phytochrome manip soon and will share my experiences here.

For winter gardening, yeah, temp is the bitch, as well as low light. Greenhouse with propane heaters and extra light is really the only way to get descent compact buds in my neck of the woods.

Nice call. Hey I’m surprised anyone here knows about that!

 

[marz]

What is clorophyll f?

 

[Captain Canna]

isn’t it a type of carotenoid pigment ?

[monkeymun]

Nope it’s a new type of chlorin pigment they just discovered a few years ago.

Was huge news in the plant science world. That’s a crazy idea - growing weed that can grow on infrared light so basically outdoor grow systems that are invisible to the naked eye during the night and then turning on the infrared lights to induce flowering.

He gets it! ^^^

heated beds? could be an idea. more simple would be a greenhouse.

The GH may need to be heated. Been there, done that.

Agreed, but when someone's talking about using infrared lamps like they're heating a lizard, I figured it'd be worth a mention. ;)

Ahh, I C, wasn't thinking that kinda lamp. Information is power!

 

[zombie III]

thats totally whacked out. actually maybe the most whacked out thing I’ve read on the farm..haha. trippers & troopers! somebody needs to do this stat!

 

[Mex]

Can you just cross a plant that makes c-f with weed?

 

[YarraSparra]

Laws of biology state that’s a negative.

[Rosenberg]

Screw laws. Someone needs to try this. Immediately.

“Indoor outdoor” might be efficient for electricity, but its a far cry from lazyman's farming brother. I like fully automated high tech gadgety systems that mean I rarely need to do much other than refill the cone piece. lol ;)

 

[Supercharge]

LOL there's no denying the effort involved bro. :)

 

[psilobuds]

its all fine and dandy until u get 2 weeks of rain during their final weeks. been there, experienced that pain of that. its a bitch. :(

 

[Prince Blanc]

Clear umbrellas over each plant. Think laterally people. ;)

 

[infocus]

Umbrellas might stop the rain washing off the trikes, but you’d still have the problem of rainy humidity.

 

[Prince Blanc]

Clear umbrellas and mini-solar hydrogen cell powered dehumidifiers. Think laterally people. LOL

 

[LordVane]

This technique rocks. You can get some really cool results. Have a Pure Power Plant that produces way more weight outside than it does inside - weird huh, on the other hand White Rhino does better inside weight-wise, but the winter outdoor version has a frosting of trichomes that I cannot achieve indoors.
