I’ve waited 3 1/2 weeks to say’s this… he thinks the study he posted proves that “blurple” spectrums provide the best yield and quality…. But it doesn’t… nor can those conclusions be drawn from a single study, let alone from the one previously posted. Delusions of grandeur

:clap:

I don’t much care what nomenclature people use. He asked what that part of the flower was called, and I answered him using the correct terms. People can call it a sugar-titty, a crystal tit or a calyx for all I care. But it’s called a perigonal bract/stigma, and the perianth contains the calyx...

Not unusual at all, those are the just the bracts/pistils of the bud (they basically make up the bud structure). You’ll often mistakenly see them referred to as a calyx. This is where seeds would form ( the ovule) if the plant were to be pollinated. The stigmas (usually referred to as pistils)...

Thank you very much!

Your’e totally right, the COB trend didn’t last that long. But I feel like they ‘shined a light’ on the feasibility of the new led tech at the time, where leading up to that it was a few fringe growers against an entire community of nay-sayers. Now LED is by far the prevalent form of indoor...

Lol… blast from the past! This thread aged like milk. Ah, the good ol’ days indeed. A bunch of people ate crow from this haha. Glad to see the organic vs synthetic debate still ten years later. The yield debate between HID and LED has long since been settled, but I love that the spectrum...

Much appreciated my man!

Nice, hell yeah! I’m running some homemade organic no-till soil in the fabric bed and was watering using the Blumat soaker lines, but I was using gravity feed from a rez in case one of the Blumats ever ran away (I’ve had it happen a few times in a basement… no fun). I couldn’t get the even water...

Thank you kindly! It’s a 3’x 6’ fabric garden bed in a 4’x 8’ tent. The bed is from Grassroots. Here is the link https://buildasoil.com/products/grassroots-living-soil-beds?variant=43149704233148

I always defoliate… :cool: I usually strip off the largest most mature fan leaves as needed. Some light to medium defoliation a week before flip, and again once plants are done stretching between weeks 3 & 4 of flower. I will pull fan leaves from the mid to upper canopy, sometimes top fan...

For the larger plant… Don’t water again until the pots feel a bit lighter. Water before soil becomes too dry/top soil changes color and look for plant queues like… (leaves not as perky/feeling dry like paper, branches losing their rigid full of water feeling, wispy structure) Water until you get...

I run veg plants at 16/8 and make sure the lights are at full power by the time I flip. I just flip to 12/12 and lose 4 hours from one day to the next. No gradual reduction for flower flip. For the flower period, the daytime hours get reduced gradually from 12/12 down to 10/14 (usually starting...

I've dropped a link to the studies I’m referring to from a previous post of mine. click here ———> LINK TO STUDIES I have only linked studies done on cannabis (some hemp, some drug type). These studies use cuttings from the same genetic stock ( some use multiple strains, tested different ways)...

Very few studies from back then (if any) were testing secondary metabolite production. Today they are, and results show significant differences in secondary metabolite production between different spectrums. I think we can all agree that cannabis is a high light loving plant, and that increasing...

I’ve posted about this a bunch in other threads already, but green wavelengths “penetrate” (absorbed photons) deeper into both leaf tissue and deeper into the inner (lower) canopy, than blue or red wavelengths. In leaf tissue, green light absorption is throughout the depth of the leaf tissue...

You can treat it however you want, but it’s still primarily a coco/perlite mix with a dash of forest humus and EW Castings. That means 50-60% of your media likely has a K & Na imbalance and will have more difficulty holding on to Ca and Mg due to this competitive nature. This means your base...

Sounds like a cation imbalance in your coco. Potassium (K) and Sodium (Na) are highly competitive with Ca and Mg, and coco coir happens to naturally come loaded with K and Na. It’s usually why coco has to be buffered with calcium prior to use. This seems to be a more prevalent issue with people...

It was actually from this video starting at 13:00 minutes in where he’s talking about it. Granted the video is 5 years old, he makes a statement in the migro interview from earlier this year basically telling people to prioritize electrical efficiency over spectrum, but that misses the point of...

Back to the topic of lighting spectrum and intensity effects on quality… Many people have cited Dr. Bruce Bugbee & Mitch Westmoreland talking about the effects of light spectrum on secondary metabolites, or the lack there of… I just watched the Bugbee/Migro podcast from earlier this year where...
