ROCKET PLASMA GROW

The Rocket Plasma should be the best plasma to use from vegetative through to flower simply because of the color temperature of the bulb. Except for the Alphalite, which uses the same bulb and plasma technology as the Rocket Plasma. The color temperature for the Rocket Plasma/Alphalite is suppose to be around 3000k ( http://www.rocketplasma.com/rocketspecs/ ) and the lowest color temperature Gavita has I believe is around 5600k for the 41.02 emitter ( http://www.gavita-holland.com/index...ing-plasma/item/gavita-pro-300-lep-ac-eu.html ). I can't seem to find a color temp for the 41.01 emitter at the moment. All of the plasmas can be used through flower but. You will probably get better flowering results with the Rocket Plasma/Alphalite plasma lamps simply because of the lower color temperature bulbs. Even Gavita acknowledges that their plasmas are best used to supplement HPS or for vegetative stages.

"So in conclusion:
- We recommend the 01 version as most efficient to complement HPS light during the generative phase and suitable for short vegetative cycles
- The 02 version is also suitable for a combination with HPS, but has a better quality than the 01 for vegetative development, so it is best utilized in a pure vegetative environment or for sunlight simulations
- Use one Gavita Pro 300 LEP in combination with a maximum of 1200W HPS lighting for a better color spectrum which results in healthier plants, higher quality and a better yielding crop"

Since the Alphalite and Rocket Plasma have the same plasma technology you are left choosing between the two I guess. If it were me making a choice right now I would probably choose the Rocket Plasma. Simply because the company is more active online and I have seen multiple instances with the Rocket Plasma in grower's hands. The Alphalite website is the only legitimate information I have seen on it http://www.alphalite.com/US/index_us.html . I will admit that I do like the Alphalite website more than the Rocket Plasma website though.

I just did a little online searching and I really have no idea but. Could it be "Thrips"? Scroll down 90% of the following page for a pic and info about them http://forums.strainhunters.com/topic/3548-cannabis-pests-introduction-and-description/

They seem to have the same body shape and i read that they could be any color some where. Do you see wings on any of them?

I have been wondering about how much heat this plasma puts out directly underneath the fixture. How close can a plant get away from the glass of the fixture without being burned? Can it touch the glass without being damaged? Or is that to close? If so, how many inches can a plant be from the glass of the fixture without being damaged in your opinion?

you won't burnt it and these are not t5 and not designed to be on top of plant I've had mine 6 inches away no worries but your spread is greatly diminished then..

love this pics, keep em comin.
update just added a new pk ripper to my already 8 others. He'll check out all my second ever grow with all types of lights and growing types soil hybrid ebb n flow Dwc and last photo is my girls grow next photos will show my veg plants. One clone and one seed and let's see of anyone can tell me what my seed plant is. It's at least 5 years old the seed is
Btw yes I added dirt genius veg led to my plasma 3 days ago just simply cuz I wanted to. Plasma is fine by itself I just couldn't handle it sitting in the box so I has to use it lol

They are your plants so you can do whatever you want but. I must say that I am a little disappointed that the Rocket Plasma will not be used by itself all the way to the end. This grow would have been the 1st one with detailed photos using the Rocket Plasma from seed till the end of flowering. The only other grow thread I know of that used a Rocket Plasma didn't have any photos.

she's all by her self i added the veg only led for the lil tops i was growing to help aid from clone dwc to soil mixture. the led only accounted for 4 days... so this is still from seed to flower all the way the led was focused on the 1L pots and the led has no flowering capability..

The other plants you see are Mothers i am growing them out to clone...
The Bonsai plant you see is 100% rocket plasma only... with exception of a few days with side led for the 1 L pots 4 days will not disrupt any kind of yield especially with veg only led

Yes sir i had those clones in dwc at first and i transplanted into soil. I had read somewhere that the veg spectrum will benefit or aid in its transplanting... Simply i see all these people having trouble with soil especially when they transplant so i decided to give them a bit of a boost to help them.. Now you have to remember this plant I'm growing was under tremendous stress for quite some time.. so and i also cut 21 cuttings from her.. Im really not looking for yield at moment what I'm looking at is if it really can truly flower and it does. it has so so many crystals every where.. SO for that i am pleased.. it already has beaten my 400w hortilux. in resin production.. they were 2 different strains..
what i grow is simply for personal use only. since i am so new to this and this is my second grow i have been experimenting with various methods to grow.. as you can see i have ebb/flow/dwc a few hybrid soil grows along with conventional DWC. after this grow i will have only 2 plants per grow since our limit is 4.....I hope this makes sense to you....
