I have experimented flowering with lower ranges of PPFD and did not see any noticeable major gain in gpw. On top of that, even if there was a gain I do not believe it would be worth it. What ends up happening the buds get very frosty but leafy and loose, hardly worth trimming and as GG pointed...

Yes it is still a good match for the 3590. Assuming 1050mA drivers, 15 COBs in a 5X5, here is estimated the difference in PPFD for each: CXA3070 3000K AB - 479 PPFD averaged (331W of non productive heat) CXB3070 3500K BB - 531 PPFD averaged (280W of non productive heat) CXB3590 3500K CD - 584...

A 100% efficient green LED would emit 683 lumens/W. A 100% efficient 3500K LED would emit 324 lumens/W. HPS would be ~380lumens/W depending on the bulb. They would all be emitting 1 PAR W/W, but a different photon count for each. Looking at it in terms of photon count from 400 to 700nm, a 100%...

Thank man, I only ran a single fem bean of the CC - Grape Kush. It yielded great (over 100g from a 5 gal bucket of ROLS) and got my wife very high which is saying a lot for its potency. I will definitely run it again before letting it go but the reason I did not list it as a keeper the stank was...

I don't mind considering growing advice from a person that has zero academic burden. When we see problems like this come up in agriculture, it might be a clue that we are barking up the wrong tree. In other words, practical experience and ability to reason is much more valuable than hyper...

If one of them was objectively more desirable than the other siblings, wouldnt that be the only keeper?

Yep a few hermie bits showed up in the lower bud sites. I spotted them and plucked them off, no beans. Some hermies are sterile anyway and I have noticed that they seem are more likely to herm only on their first run for some reason. So I have learned not to cull a lady if it gets a very...

It did sneak a few balls on me but other than that it was very nice, will definitely try these beans again

The Wiki thing may be partly my fault, I have been talking about it and mentioned it to Sunni before I saw this thread. I thought it would be ideal to integrate into RIU because it may be the most effective way to get the job done and keep it updated. Also I think it is fair that RIU should...

The shyballs theory is based on the idea that a male that is reluctant to release pollen could contain recessive drug traits such as high THC as opposed to reproduction oriented traits. I am not sure if that is true in practice but I did not have much else to go by so I figure worth a shot.

I am with you on the monsanto/biotech/pesticide abomination thing, fascism at its finest! This is another potentially controversial statement but, every near pure Sativa or near pure Indica geno I have run has been a flop with most patients. Typically they seem to prefer brain/body cripplingly...

I only had 1 Spice lady. I really liked it but ultimately did not make the cut. I expect you will find something great in those packs though. I will try and see if I can find my notes on that.

I am no expert at selecting males, but I did carefully examine about 100 males before culling (and eating) them. I am not convinced that you can reliably tell much about their breeding potential by observing their characteristics. I found males with lots of quick balls in veg, shy balls that...

Thanks, yes it was a hell of a good time and plenty more in the pipeline. Patients definitely respond to variety. Rotating and even mixing a bunch of great varieties is hugely beneficial to them IME. So the sample size will grow, BUT now that I have analyzed the data I am biased from this point...

I dont mind sexing regular beans, I enjoy the challenge of how early can I differentiate the females. I am interested in fem crosses for neither of those reasons, but because it appears that on average the bud from the best fem beans on the market is objectively better than the bud from the best...

Thanks Torontoke, your input is for sure appreciated. Good point regarding Bodhi, I have not tried them yet but recently was very lucky to recieve a selected Bodhi - Apollo11 genius X C99 lady, currently vegging up as we speak can't wait to try her out! She is sleeping in this pic and needs to...

Thanks man I will check Sannie's & E$cobar out it does sounds good. I have been on a bean buying spree lately and have a ton of stuff in the pipeline along with some clone-onlys to compare against the keepers, Cherry Pie, Thin Mint, GG#4, Bruce Banner #3 and Chem91. I grabbed a pack of...

Ya man that Kandy Kush is a real ice ball. It does prefer cooler canopy temps <80F, gets much frostier and denser. Very mold resistant. Great yield. Chemmy OG flammable aroma, super potency. Flops everywhere but I don't mind tying it up

Fair enough, my test is not definitive, but there are 25-30 breeders in that list so the pattern has definitely got my attention. Worth noting, I found only one semi-keeper from Rare Dankness, Gage Green and Mr Nice combined, which are known to be high quality breeders but regs only. I had to...

COBs + Organic soil can be tricky. They can put down a lot more intensity than we are used to and the plants need fertility. You can really end up chasing your tail trying to diagnose specific nutrient problems. The best solution I have ever found is to address the soil mixture before the plant...
