That is the shirt I am wearing today! I got rid of the long hair - it was a pain in the ass.

Does MH throw more UV?

I would love to see some of those beauties under a microscope!








Cheers,

I think MH does put out more UV that's why a lot of people like finishing with the MH the last few weeks. I haven't tried it but have seen many people report trich growth and raised potency. No scientific proof just us growers lol

I only take pics and water with the lights off cause it's a dangerous piece of equipment should be used in a closed hood only... Only UV-A in mine (HPI-T plus) as far as I know. I normally use it for a week or 2 veg, but this is pretty much a seed run and don't have my closet filled at the moment so didn't want to waste 600w on it.

I should be able to produce some microscope like close ups soon. Expected macro extension tubes in the mail today, hopefully tomorrow. Also got one of those soft boxes, similar but simpler to the one recently posted in your Seed pic thread.

RIU-72-DarkDevil 0001.jpg RIU-72-DarkDevil-0020.jpg RIU-72-DarKDevil-0022.jpg Dark Devil, at 6 weeks of flowering outside in AK. She's not the frostiest but she's the darkest I've ever grown, an auto-fem freebie from Sweet Seeds. She smells awesomely of Fruitstripe gum, but has the short, airy structure of a runt. I was going to breed her but will pass. I anticipate a yield of <1/2 oz.

@Sativied I'm stoked to see what you do with those macro rings! Hope they come for you soon.

Thanks me too :) I just got them in the mail. Hooked them up and got 'no lens attached' error. Perhaps I didn't connect them properly, I got one ring on now and it works. Reading some experiences from other nikon d3200 users I figured out I have to put the camera body and the nikon lens on manual. Looks like I also have to increase the exposure manually a lot (besides everything else obviously). No more point 'n shoot...

A 'bonus' is that it shows clearly that I messed up my lens. Few spots/scratches I normally don't notice are not clearly visible if I don't zoom in.

Anyway, pics soon, or not :)

I told you guys I sing to my plants :bigjoint:..

This is what I use...
Soil mix Happy frog,FFOF, COCO,Sunshine mix #4...
Lights for veg, LEC 630 with sup t5..
Lights for flower Gavita/E-Pap. I put the E-Pap in the center because it has better side lighting witch makes it overlap the Gavita's on opposite sides well.

I use PBP as my base. I add some Organic additives from Beneficial Biologics. Root bloom myco inoculant beginning veg/flower., Seagreen, 55% humic acid. I keep the ppm @350-400.. The only thing that's also added in flower is Kelp. I never use more then 1.4EC on any plant. Most of the time its at 1.2EC.. None have ever shown they wanted more. Been using this mix for about 3 years now.. PBP has been my base for as long as I can remember. I have tried many different additives. Some work better than others. I like what I see with this mix. I don't like adding a huge amounts of different additives. Less is more in my world. 1 of my OCD growing ticks I fluff the top soil after every plant gets fed. Doing this has kept the gnats of of my garden. No one I know does this. Doesn't take much time it can be messy. Gloves are mandatory unless you like dirty hands lol..

That's it hope that helps :)

Yeah great info. Good lighting for both veg and flower (clever with the e-pap in the center), good nute levels, and interesting tips on the gnats... I use a layer of 3/8inch beach sand (old hippie trick here), gnats can't crawl through it. I'm guessing fluffing it up keeps your top layer dry which works too.
