Guod,I 've to ask a silly question...

...

no,
configuration:
http://s1073.photobucket.com/albums/w399/guvoo/LED-Modul/

1 Cree XPE 450nm
4 Cree XPE nw
6 Osram GD+ 635nm
6 Osram GD+ 660nm

this light has more power in the yellow/red range.less in the blue range.

When I don't have sufficient blue my leaves do not reach for the sky, but when they do I can hear them saying "Feed Me!"

this light has more power in the yellow/red range.less in the blue range.
the shift to red between the two lights are roundabout 2-3%
both are over 10% blue in the spectrum.
some pics from the start:

Yes!
Niiiiceeeeee !!!!
Pretty fat & thick !!!

You're getting me pretty confused,with those lights of yours....
Be sure that the CWs' play a basic role in that big -fat-juicy-frosty bud of buds...
..
What I cannot get is how the heck ,with those 660 of yours
(and with a bit of FR ...) you get that good ( beautiful! ) buds...
Dunno what to say...

How about flowering time ?
You think it 'll take a bit longer (from what is considered " normal " -?- ) ?
Maturing & " Seed Pod Swelling ",also ..Although ,the last photo speaks for itshelf...
( I'm honest when I say that some plants ,do not do well under 660 leds...
Maybe the blue range or a certain wl band at blue ,counteracts also ,-through Phytochrome mechanism-,with the 660 light...
Or,indeed some FR +green (500-560 nm ) ,just a tiny bit,does the job...
Maybe...
Probably...)

...

Thumbs up,anyway....
Great-great grow,so far...

Of course your choice of led placing is the best....
Good light distribution and spectral mixing ..

Thanx for that info,also...

Guod,is it my idea or no ?
Ok,they're different plants...
But I think the buds from the light with the extra red-orange(and green/yellow ),are way thick & fat....
While from the other ,it seems a bit more frosty...
Just judging from the photos,though...

(....In one of my previous led grows I had noticed ,also really frosty buds with 465-475 nm blue...
Hmm...But they developed relatively long and "swirly"....Never got "fat"...But I had a lot of blue,also...
)
......
The first panel has :
1:4:6:6 / 450: NW:630:660
While the second panel has :
1:3:3:6 / 470: CW:630:660
Right ?


( I'm studying your configurations...)

very different!
"the other one" is a afgan-lady(indica)against a mostly pure sativa

the lights are more similar than this plants

all in all, Yes...

the pearls of the afgan-lady

right!

The first panel has :
1:4:6:6 / 450: NW:630:660

the second one of this model has :
1:4:4:8 / 450: NW:630:660

can´t spot a difference in grow, so i forgot to point this out.

Since adding more cool white ~ 5 days ago, my fat plant has grown some 6". She is now ~ 24" (~60cm) with longer (~3") internodes. The one next to her grew much taller to where I had to move her to my other tent late yesterday. Not sure yet whether it's M or F, definitely Sat dom.

The Transfer

had to pull the roots from the hybrid bubbler screen, then transplant into Air Pot + Lava rock. Obviously, it was shaken up, but, this morning it is nice and perky, zero signs of droop/shock.

What I am deducing is that the ability to shift spectrums during grow is beneficial. Since I use regular led screw bulbs in this tent and HOT5s upstairs, I simply replace ww with cw or vice versa) and observe for a few days. Now once I have a stable strain I can lock it in, but not until

LED Tent

Indica Dom

This morning I shifted the spectrums back to more red with warm white leds. Will be lowering on cycle another hour to 11/13
for ~ 5 days then finish at 10/14
