Testing Timber's B-lux Decor Vero fixture(1750k)= Hello beautiful SPD, finger still on the trigger

[churchhaze]

Sphere guy: "For comparison's sake the Mega does 309 watts of radiant flux and has a radiant efficacy of 0.46. This is what all companies should be advertising, not PPF/watt."

A year late to the party... but I just couldn't resist...

Hmmm.... who here at RIU shares his opinion....

Edited to make clear that it was the sphere guy's quote, not PSUAGRO's

Nicks opinion or mine? Lol......he was the first to boast about 2.1ppf/w on his mega, then the qb#s where confirmed.....then he changed his tune.

Sorry for the bad quote. I was quoting your sphere guy. It seemed like he was saying what I've been saying for years! (that efficiency more intuitively tells you how.... efficient... a lamp is than PPF/power can tell you)

If i misread, I'm sorry. It's hard to take in so much info each time i revisit RIU.

Another Tuesday and my healthcare still sucks


Day 71 of 13/11 from seed under Timber's b-lux décor vero 1750k fixture(296watts) & osram 730nm trigger up my ass====== with my 2 anesthesia ladies.

.........On Sunday I noticed my white clover cover crop (furthest from the fan/right side) weren't looking to great, on closer inspection they had pm. So I cut them ALL back and defoliated the ladies again + a quick lollipop to hopefully salvage something. removed the trimmed/infected matter out of the room and maxed my air circulation and exhaust levels. Pest issues won't be far behind if this continues and then it's game over===probably for the best , nothing but problems from the beginning. Their still stacking way too tight and will yield shit anyways! prove me wrong plants.

.......RH has been hovering in the low 50s, pic is with the door open. I won't spray a fungicide this late regardless, so will see if I scrap it next week. stay tuned,lol


be safe and happy growing RIU

Feck all wrang with them in my opinion.
Do you gee them tea ?
Now it's a bit warmer surely things can only get better with root temps.
That original Sensi Star I have grows similar to your ladies, really tight n bushy.

"...... your ladies, really tight n bushy" should in no way be construed as anything else but in reference to your ladies!

Fingers crossed they prove you wrong.

Round 3 Day 64 of 13/11 from seed under timber's b-lux vero décor 1750K fixture(296watts) & osram 730nm trigger up my ass==== with my 2 anesthesia ladies.

View attachment 4129850 View attachment 4129851 View attachment 4129852 View attachment 4129853 ........ look ok, chlorosis has progressed a bit but the plant based nutrient break down is slow or so I've been told. Backed up the fixture a touch , don't like how it's stacking so tight.

View attachment 4129855 View attachment 4129856 View attachment 4129857 ............yes I fixed the meter, obvious button sequence for c/f ,not!........took me a couple of minutes smashing combos for the eureka moment. Still love you China regardless of the major inconveniences you designed into this POS product..........rant over

Are the thermometer readings the average temps over the day? What does it display at night? 10° less?
If so, temps are probably two low and especially the root zone gets not warm enough over the day. Do you have a roasting thermometer that you can stick in the ground?
If the soil flora is too cold, they will not produce enough nutrients for that intensity. It's a typical problem in winter..
If you've just turned the light on and that temp reading was at night, forget what I said.

 

[PSUAGRO.]

Thanks for all the suggestions, and YES its a environmental issue plus sloppy "sanitizing' before this round.........skipped the bleach and also forgot to lay down a bifenthrin perimeter, whatever..............excuses suck

Round 3 day 78 of 13/11 from seed under Timber's b-lux décor vero 1750k fixture (296w) and osram 730nm trigger up my ass====== with my 2 anesthesia ladies.

.................well I haven't seen any PM spread from soil level, it seems in check so far?........famous last words. Keep defoliating slightly here and there, just limping to the finish line and trying to get something out of my time/power used. Raised the panel again in a feeble attempt to stretch them, it's not happening == their quite content at staying short and bushy; at least the canopy is even! lol

....................I have to upgrade my exhaust ,long time coming...of course there are chances of precipitation most of this week . God's still mad at me for doing 35mph in a school zone, I had to take a piss for Christ sakes!

Nope, he is not mad! He has forgiven your laziness and still let grow a beautiful plant ..

How long left do ya think?
I love those big orange handled loppers against the wall waiting in anticipation of a bumper harvest!

Don't need it, probably some paper scissors will cut through these baby plant stalks..... lol

With the aggressive supercrop delaying flower ........ maybe 20-30 days till chop with my high amber count.

Yea, I was working on 30 - 35 days for pre hairs, take away from 78 = 43 days flower + 25 days to go = just right ..... lol

Mind explaining the location of your fire extinguisher? Why not above electrical components? Is it a space thing?

I've heard of growing fire but....

It's just for show at this point it's held its FULL charge for 8 yrs now, question it's current functionality........yes, not optimal placement, i put it up for the hans panel run 7yrs ago, never moved it.....

Round 3 Day 85 of 13/11 from seed under Timber's blux décor vero 1750k fixture (296watts) & osram 730nm trigger up my ass=====with my two anesthesia ladies.

.....yep, still defoliating . Last 5 out of 7 days it's been raining , if i get bud rot at least i know i gave it a decent proactive try. I ran the root pick through the upper layers of soil to tear some of the lateral fibrous roots to increase vigor . I'm all out of tricks, so that's it till the end..........


.........back to Celsius on the meter again, storms knocked out my power......i fucking hate this thing.

Haven't followed along that closely. Are your night temps dropping real low giving you the pm problems?

I don't know, I'm using someone else's pics like you ............................haha


seriously though , one of the rainiest seasons in awhile, was shitty even for the holiday...........thank god it's still early outdoors, but we have chems/crop protection products for that. No log on my POS meter, a larger exhaust and proper sanitizing should solve the problem..........maybe

Round 3 day 92 of 13/11 from seed under timber's blux décor vero 1750k fixture (296watts) & osram 730nm trigger up poodle's ass======with my 2 anesthesia ladies

.........nothing really left to defoliate. Have the cheap moisture sensing probe staying in the pot to keep watering as infrequent as possible. Not much longer to play this cat and mouse game with my RH......

.............................whatever, will loupe next week to see the count. What a shit run , will be easy to forget

Famous last words and truth, yes it is or may have been tuesday given the timeframe of this post.

@PSUAGRO.
The comparison photos, is one with the 730 and one without? Are you using daylight as the white balance for camera? Finally, and most importantly, what schedule for the 730's?
