Congrats on those happy plants! I like me some TGA genetics. Definitely a great thread. Keep up the good work! Sincerely, ILovePlants

RGB white seems like the best step towards great white LEDs. Are there any spectral analysis on the spectrum blend? ei. As differing wavelengths approach each other they collide and alter each others wavelength, so does the 525 nm green of the Illumitex actually fill in the spectral gap (since...

I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I would like to chime in. I think that most of us are actually right on most of our points, but I wanted to elaborate on something. Personally I feel that for the average person it is better to avoid white LEDs for the next 2 years. I'm waiting on...

Awesome grow! Glad to see those frosty pics. The patriotism is a nice touch. Bravo sir! Sincerely, ILovePlants

Harvest at 45- 50 days based on those trichs. You will be very happy if you wait until day 50. Just something to think about.You still have a lot of pistils that need to retract. Much like the leaves dying off in the fall the pistils are indicative of when the plant is matured, the retraction...

Although I'm not sure that this post will do the original question justice but I would like to point out some continually ignored variables and why they may also be effecting plant growth. Although light intensity should be taken into consideration, because there is no question-when you put your...

Kessil could start making 90w whites soon. They made 14000k for Aquariums with their 35 watt version. It would be amazing to get a 5850k 90w LED Array! Then again who knows how long it will be before they decide to make white lighting again, they charged 50$ more for the 14000k Aquarium light...

Awesome thread Mike! Can't wait for the final results! TGA beans tend to be vigorous little bastards. QuerklexBubba hmmm... Berkle? Ha! Cheers. ILovePlants

Just going to throw out something I was thinking of. Branding. If you were going to attempt to formulate a perfectly lit room, really the most important thing about TESTING out whether or not assumptions are correct is consistency. All tests must be conducted limiting the maximum amount of...

Just a little info regarding seedbank trickery. 7-8 weeks could mean from the start of 12-12 or it could mean the time from when flowers start to form (sometimes up to 2 weeks), also clones flower faster than mothers and seed banks would be the first group to use clone flowering time over seed...

That damn cat! Any way I wish the best of luck with your grow TMU! ILovePlants

Thank you for keeping it real! Other photofactor-pigments "such as carotene, anthocyanin, xanthophyll" exist mostly to release hormones and release specialized compounds for specific purposes through out the plant. Without the use of these specialized pigments plants would be unable to...

Gotta love the Agent Orange! Did anyone besides me get any other smells though? My Agent Orange isn't orange flavored or smelling. It smells like Lilacs and Apple Skins with a hint of Lemon oil. It is by far one of the most unique plants I have right now, she is quite a petite plant. Anyway the...

Digital versus Analog is the best analogy I've heard so far. If you know how high of nutrients to give your plants then you wont over do it. That is what makes shitty weed, in my opinion, versus beautiful cannabis. It's people who are trying to push it to the limit. Some times the weed just...

Positioning cfls in the room with your leds is a good thing. I also run fluorescent light up my walls. Plants evolved for millions of years under a star that would out put a color temp averaging 5850k. It helps them properly create and release hormones throughout flowering. Ca and Mg usage is...

Keep Number 2!

Healthy plant's! Man I need a new camera, that way you could check out my babies too! I put a few in at about the same time as yours. Anyway I always enjoy seeing those healthy flowers, keep up the good work! Happy growing, it brings much more to the grower than only the product. I recently...

I agree that it's a combination of light intensity and spectrum. My plants couldn't up take Ca and Mg fast enough, and they were doing the "far red super stretch" thing that was just killing me. Once I added in 20% more wattage of full spectrum my plants snapped into overdrive. Before I added...

I spent an hour writing out exactly why Spectra's need another look. Suffice it to say that it all got deleted. I'll sum up some points: 1. They were sold to me as "Supplemental green house lighting" 2. Once I added in more full spectrum lighting all was well 3. I had rows go out and Mike...

If and when someone tries this they should update this thread, if you are all subscribed. I recently have moved in full spectrum lights that I have turning on and off during the day to imitate a "sun" in my room. Results are great so far, I was just hoping that someone may have already attempted...
