Same... I use my UV and IR the last 2-3 weeks of flower
Same... I use my UV and IR the last 2-3 weeks of flowerYes I have UV bulbs in my tent too but I only run them during flower.
Bro that's so badass.Still looking for the actual catalogue I ordered and ordered from.......
From a 1986 High Times, and 1992 NORML letter........we fought the good fight.
I should get some from you, let's catch up tmrw? Ty.....Just a friendly heads up to everyone, I blew threw this last batch of skunk seeds before I even realized it. I have 3 packs left of the Road Kill Skunk for the next 5-6 months it looks like. Each pack is 15 premium regular photoperiod seeds plus a few extra half white ones that should germinate about 50% of time, for $120. Shipping included inside the lower 48 states.
I'm looking to add it in, but you've both given me more confidence that it could make a difference.........even if that difference is only a bit more terpene intensity, that alone would be worth it.Same... I use my UV and IR the last 2-3 weeks of flower
Sure thing. Just hit me in the DM'sI should get some from you, let's catch up tmrw? Ty.....
You can run UV and IR during the whole flowering stage. That would be called the Emerson effect. HOWEVER, this makes your plants stretch more and gives less dense bud. It does increase Terpene production. It will make the buds almost greasy... I turn UV on the last 2-3 weeks and IR is turned on the last 2-3 hours at the END OF EACH NIGHT for the last 2-3 weeks of flowering. Kinda a bitch to navigate but it's worth it imo.I'm looking to add it in, but you've both given me more confidence that it could make a difference.........even if that difference is only a bit more terpene intensity, that alone would be worth it.
For you, and BackBoo.... ;).....why during flower only? Do you think they could go for s little acclimation to the UVÙ? What/how many hours do you use it, and how do you add IR? I Have 1 full spectrum and 1 full spectrum that leans more red. I was thinking 1-2 hrs a day, I don't know if whether the first hours or last hours of the 12 on are better, but I'm willing to try it in a variety of ways.
I've never searched for actual infrared lights? You actually add infrared?You can run UV and IR during the whole flowering stage. That would be called the Emerson effect.

That just went way over my head..... ;)I built my own custom QB 288's using Alibaba parts
Wait, you add IR during the (end of) the dark cycle...??You can run UV and IR during the whole flowering stage. That would be called the Emerson effect.

More of a turn them a digression. :)CAn someone tell me how the digression into LIght discussion is related to this thread. Let me guess. UV light brings out the Volatile Sulfur Compunds?

I build my own lights that rival the HLG Diablo. Uses the bigger, 4 panel subset instead of bars.That just went way over my head..... ;)
Any studies done on IR? Obviously we go a bit more red spectrum for flowering, but I've never seen anything on infrared.
That's our speculation, yesCAn someone tell me how the digression into LIght discussion is related to this thread. Let me guess. UV light brings out the Volatile Sulfur Compunds?
I doubt it's that easy. I have had plants that smelled like firecrackers before. My guess is we would end up somewhere around thereI got an idea what if we can open up the VSC pathway through a breeding program that feeds the absolute maximum levels of Sulfur or VSC's or Sulfur feeding nutrients and bacteria. WE do this for 10 Years and we create the ultimate Pure SKunky strains... The idea is to get the Plant to open up its metabolic Volatile Sulfur Compund pathways...
Very cool. Usually once they get 3-5 nodes you can start to smell funky things on the rub. Not always. Some are late bloomers. It's just whatever the genes decided to express on that exact plant, but some will start to stink. Thanks for the update budSo,
To bring things back on track, here is my current skunk hunt.

I_GROW_SKUNK - 70’s afghani
Kandahar Maruf black
I just took a clone from each seedling about a day ago. Once they are rooted, I’ll flip them to flower in solo cups. I’ll keep all the females, and the stinkiest male of each cultivar.
Once flowering is complete, unless I find i winner, I will make seeds with each, no crossbreeding. Then grow out the next gens.
So far, the plants are too small to really express aroma, but many have quite a funky, although not skunky, smell. I will reserve my judgement till flowering. The 70s afghani had huge indica leaves, very pretty.
The Maruf black seedlings, even though they are the youngest by far have quite a strong aroma on leaf rubbing. Very excited for these.
