@Power OG

How do you deal with one side of the grow under 600 and the other side under 1000? Do you get different results on each side?

Or are they under movers / do you move your plants around?

Power OG · Sep 12, 2015

Ok so my 1000 w hps is in a xxxl air cooled hood in my 5x5 tent my 600w is bare bulb vertical hanging as close to center of tent as I could get, and all my plants get rotated 1/4 turn every 3 days for even coverage. @shemshemet

A f2 cross I made:lost coast OG(lemon pheno) x bubblegum

Ok so wanted to thank my friend and breeder @homebrew420 for the awesome chance to run some of his new stuff 1.Pho= Vietnam x GSC bx GSC bx=(GSC x NL) 2.Korean Stick Fire = Korean Stick Bud x Fire OG bx. Very excited about both these strains.

@Power OG do you still suggest switching to MH if your working with a 1 light room? Like according to your preferred lighting schedge i would leave the MH the first 2 weeks of flower then switch to HPS for the bulk of the grow then back to MH for last 2 weeksish?

I have not done myself but I think would work perfectly but only you would be able to test this theory but b I think it would do what you were looking for

If that gsc bx is the same one he used with the bright cookies from 303 seeds then you're in for a treat.

I think you correct bro

@Power OG here's a close-up pic of similar genetics from hb420 (stardawg x bright cookies)

Results b/c I lifted my plant straight into the ceiling fan checking the drainage...ruined a top :( happened week 1 it's week 3 pistils died, not much growth. Destroyed its fan leaves ughhhh. Everything below the top is growing great still.

Just showing some flaws

If I may
Medusa Turned me on to this and the way to look at is lke getting a sun tan, the amount of UVA/UVB lighting from the MH forces the plant to defend itself and the Chemistry of the terpins change, then at the end of the flowering cycle the use of the MH forces the plant to defend the Flower from the extra UVB damage once this happens the amount of CBG that is converted THC during the drying Cycle, IT works I tried it Based on what Medusa did.
ALSO researched it and found some other verified results.

Cited:
A researcher conducted a controlled experiment in a greenhouse. He lit a group of high potency plants similarly except with the addition of UVB light to some groups. He found that the percentage of THC increased in a direct ratio with the increase in UVB light. This research confirms the adage that high altitude plants are more potent than those grown at low altitudes.

If you look at old-world land races of cannabis, plants that have become adapted to the climate and latitude, the ratio of THC to CBD starts at 100 : 1 at the equator. At the 30th parallel (The Hindu-Kush Valley) the plants have a ratio of 50 : 50. At the 45th parallel the ratio is near 1 : 100. This corresponds roughly with the amount of UVB light received at these latitudes. There is much more UVB at the equator than the 45th parallel.

How can you get more UVB light to your plants? Certainly it's true that MH lamps emit more UVB light than HPS lamps. Still the amount that MH lamps emit is small. In fact, many manufacturers use UVB shielding glass to filter out most of the UVB that's produced. The UVB light the plant receives from an MH lamp does increase the plant's potency slightly at the cost of yield, but there are better ways to introduce UVB light into the grow room. They include reptile lights, which emit about 10% UVB, and tanning lamps.

I found By adding my UVB lighting with the reptile bulbs from Pet smart and the new 4ft T5 from Eye Hotelux I was able to bring out some of the Best tastes and higher strengths IMHO IT Works.

I'm using an 860CMH throughout both veg and flower. I've been liking it so far.

FlyinJStable · Sep 12, 2015

I wanted to share that with you all I would never grow with out the extra UVA/UVB again.
The amount of information that I have learned from you all, Makes it growing this beautiful plant all the more better
I will share whatever I can to help others do the same.

Definitely will be reaching out to everyone for a hand and advice in the future, currently in the process of moving so I'm just doing my thang as usual. Certainly by no means an expert and am looking forward to mastering this plant and its essence. Definitely see this being the place to do so.

100% agree

The 400 CMH I use now It was a Game changer.
I guess I have grown a Bit bigger than I thought

1k HPS
400W CMH
4 t5 w UVA UVB and
4 corners of Reptile 150w 5.0 tropical light
Not the 10.0 as its for desert animals and will warm up too much.
about 2000 watts over a 4x6 I am right at 80-85 watts per foot squared. and Not to bad.
Just sharing what works for the J man
Peace All

Greetings all,
For 9 yrs I've been flowering with MH only, until now, I've never used an HPS bulb...my yeild is low, but resin quality is very high...I used sun master warm delux- 3200 K, they have anew full spectrum 5500K bulb..
My super grow LED is like 4200- 4400. K, resin quality is good...
cw...

you got any pics of how your lights are setup? im jut curious with all that lighting how its arranged...

FlyinJStable · Sep 12, 2015

Here is the set up that provides My Fun... I rotate the plants every other day and lets me check each one .
Super lighting Vibes My friend

Yo so HTGsupply has a 400CMH lamp and ballast set with an open air style reflector for like $180..Am I crazy or does something seem too good to be true?
