New Cree 730nm xp-e emitter!!

[AquariusPanta]

The results for me using 2x 3W Epistar 730nm stars were clear: ~one inch of growth or more per day during week two through three/ partially week four. The plant went from like ~15 inches at the end of vegetation (~30 days) to ~46 inches by the end of budding and turned out beautifully (my best grow yet).

I chopped her down around day 53, as I had time constraints but she was well ready for it (blue widow). The flower initiator allowed me to run lights at 13/11, with the plant thinking it was 13/13 or 50/50 of day and night. The logic, which was passed down to me from @captainmorgan, was that the extra hour of light each day would result in a shorter budding phase, which I'd say held up in my case.

It doesn't take much 730nm to cover an area. I was using ~5W in a 3' x 1.8' tent.

They ('flower' initiators) actually reverse plant growth until all the stems and leaves are placed back into the shell of the seed, thus preserving the life of the plant.

I would still recommend the initiator for the pure thrill of watching your beloved plant experiencing the 'Benjamin Button' effect (Tinder, From Plant to Seed, 1974).

thanks for the straight answer

You did see that as a joke, right? If you stick around long enough you will see it contains vast humor.

But, lighten up is still good advice, right? That's what these guys keep telling me.

Well, are you are party to the solution or a party with a problem?

haven't noticed much talk on the flower initiator in a while is everybody still using them?

Still using it, 5 minutes at lights out

12/12.....fastest flowering, lots of stretch
13/11......fast flowering, more normal stretch phase
Without...slooow

Any idea on why there's a difference?

Too much sleep time...extra 2 hours perceived night by the plants probably gives the extra time needed to stretch out. Could probably go 14/10 and still flower in decent time. 13 seems a good compromise..

 

[captainmorgan]

Yea I do 13.5/10.5.

just consider for a moment i didn't know anything about it and he tells me "the Benjamin button effect" well then he just mislead me creating confusion and just all around rude i can understand if he wanted to be funny but this just comes off as deception to me....maybe i expect to much out of the people here i know some of you guys actually try and share

Well obviously you did or else you wouldn't have asked a question about it. Yeah, it was a little deceptive but some jokes are. I mean who in their right fucking mind would believe that a light reverts a plant back to a seed? You'd have to be a child to believe that shit, hence it being a valid joke.

I was hoping my sharing of experience with the 730nm LED stars would compensate for your let down but it looks like you're still pretty shook up about the joke.

I read on another thread that red light will turn females into males. Is that true?

 

[Doer]

I swear, by gawd, that is true. But, I drink 4 beers and they turn back into girls.

I don't really see how that rare joke, could drive you deeper into confusion.

This is not a class, we are not teachers. This is a group of stoned people discussing a topic.

And always there is a little fun to be had, when we are stoned.. We are sharing and we will even spoon feed if you ask nicely.

Think i read somewhere leds trigger a ego effect in those new to its awesomeness. Mostly the big white type.... The reds seem to turn males into cheetahs. No scientifical evidence yet though
