This is very good advice for anyone running chems. They seem to do much better with a gradual decrease in light/nutes and it lessens the risk of those late nanners popping up too.

Running "far red" LED's before and right after "lights out" will help them finish quicker. Puts them to sleep faster at night.

Does anyone have experience with the Full Spectrum plus Ultra Violet finishing bulbs?
I've got an extra 4' 8bulb T5 not in use and I've thought about using it to finish some plants or even use it to help finish some seeded plants.
Are the bulbs worth it?
Not trying to derail. Sorry. I just don't want to get bombarded in the LED sections or start another LED vs HPS debate. lol.

Jelly pies 48 days of flower
Ran this one pretty much from clone, gave it a week from bubble clone to hempy bucket then flipped it, doing great , only under 200w COBS this 3x3 is very efficient and let’s me test other strains before throwing them in the 4x4 with 500w cobs
Has a different look in this tent with slightly cooler temps than the last pies I’ve posted, used more cal mag this time around, under 3500k COB spectrum only
The other pies I posted were in a mixed spectrum but primarily under the 1700k, the red seems to bring out a bit more color... or the temps, 5 degree difference higher (in the 4x4)

Yeah that's what I'll do with the clone to see if it helps finish her up

Right atleast another 20 days minimum. I'm gonna try to take the clone to 90 days if the 10/14 light schedule doesnt help much. See what a 90 day flower will look like. Probably jus like what I cut down lol. But I can see 90 days with the one I just cut, prob wouldve been 1000 grams wet lol.

I believe you'll see a difference in the decreased light schedule.
I also think if you try to push those genetics you'll have some adverse reactions.

Be careful, introduce gradually, if not using continuously from beginning. Distance with the pure uv needs to be a bit more than with the 10k t5.
I was running 6 2 footers had a mix of lamps like hortilux power veg going more red through flower then more 10k with about a month and a half to go.
Ultimately have decided more complicated than just led, plus with winning the Amare, I pulled the t5s off my fixture (a 12 cob 320wat rig).

I haven't been on this thread in awhile...has anyone ran raindance with pics/info and what page #?

Thank you. This is why I asked here. Tips like this will save me a headache. I have my males under the same kind of T5 light with a mixed spectrum and the plants are really close. It makes sense they'd need more distance with the 10ks.
And if I didn't already have this light I'd go with something else.

You think itll herm if I push it hard? Clear to 90+ days

Its less severe with clones so maybe not but in my experience they don't respond well when pushed.
And that seems to be the consensus with seasoned growers who've dialed those chems in over the last decade or so.Late nanners pop up if pushed or given too high a dose of nitrogen in the final stretch. Dialing the light back gradually helps the pistol recede and ensures new ones don't sprout over night. (you've probably already experienced this)
And I know you already know this stuff but as long as its not a false finish, the trichs are always the best indicator.
Edited because I'm so tired my posts sound bitchy as hell. Please no one take them that way. Its just lack of sleep and my own inability to get my thoughts down in text

Its hard with all the drama but I'd go by the actual Raindance reviews posted by the growers here you trust.
