I like the wider red range you got from those qb35s. My CRI80/90 mix should look almost similar in the red area. Is it the same spectrum all over the space or does it vary slightly depending on where you measure?

I did this quick & dirty, but did check that and looked similar. I’m going to do more, when i get all the other stuff done that i’ve put off for past month.

Plan on checking w/o qb35’s, and then incrementally adding each ofbthe four. Will check initiator and uv, too.

If you have anything i can check on my setup, let me know.

... and at some point the colas are fat like baby legs ... but like those from a realy fat sumo baby, bro .. such with +12 lbs or so, lol!

Joking aside..
They all already look impressive and its hard to believe that the haze ladies shall need another 5 weeks to finish. Considering that they started to flower relatively late because of the stretch the flowers are just 4 weeks old.
Another 4-5 weeks means they probably double their current volume.
Pretty sure the far-red already has a share in this progress.
I'm already curious what pheno my SSH lady finally is. I secretly hope for the indika/NL pheno(like each time) but he is f..... rare and I have never had the luck till today.
But, yeah! Hope dies last, lol!
 
Lol...

Just one cola like that and i’d retire from growing, with a sense of accomplishment...lol

Hope your ssh is that pheno.

I definitely have 2 diff phenos, by looks and smell:

3F393563-2BCF-42B6-B44A-FAD1CFB40E58.jpeg

Left one is more indica-like, right one is classic sativa (although hard to see in my pics)...
 
Yeah, the left one is a perfect pheno for SOGs with up to 25 cuttings per m² and no veg.
Just a long single cola with no twigs, end height maybe 32-36" and with luck(and some far-red) ready in 10-11 weeks.
I call such a plant a keeper!
Did you save one or two clones just for the case..?

Didn’t make clones, may never run again, too many strains to try...

But now you’ve got me thinking..,
 
Day 50 of ?84?: Decided not to do any real defol on back right haze, it looks thick in there, but not really related to thin sativa-like fan leaves; and, even the small buds are hard, so not gonna take any laterals either.

Got some 2’ arcadia 12% t5 reptile lights arriving tomorrow to ease the girls through uva-b acclimation. Hope to restart uv on Saturday.

@Randomblame have you ever applied uva-b during lightsoff? If so, what were effects?

Wondering if it could be used at night during acclimation, at lower nighttime temps w/ no light intensity, to reduce initial stress.

Thanks

You could hang curtains fabric in front of the UVB bulbs to halve the intensity for the first week. This is what reptile owners do with new bulbs to reduce UVB intensity. These T5s need up to 100h burn in times to get stable readings.

I do not think it's possible to do it completely stress-free you can only try to keep the stress as low as possible.
6x 5 minutes should not mean a lot of stress especially at 2ft distance(170μW/cm²). But even if you see some symtomes I would only reduce it further but not switch it completely off. They adapt really fast to UVB and when done they can handle a lot. 12h with a 12% reptile bulb is about the same like 3 hours with the Agromax at the same distance. 30 minutes Agromax means only 2h with a reptile bulb. I can not imagine that it would cause too much stress.

I was planning to do some testing with uv meter on various setups this weekend, but i got a last minute business project with a Tuesday deadline. I’m going to push out the uv to middle of the week.

QB 96s arrive end of week, hoping i might get to map/spectrum one of them along with a puck maybe this next weekend.

Lovely structure you got going there man.

Great plant that SSH, if its good enough for Wesley snipes!!!

Thanks, man!

Can’t say enuff for manifolding under intense lighting. Takes a little extra veg time, but provides big even plumbing system, strong stems, height control, flat tops, good spacing and no screen...i’m not going for the pretty nugbuckets look, just all the functional benefits....
