We need to track down the happy medium between just enough and too much light regardless of what "type" :)

It would differ between techs but yes, a happy medium and understanding of the cause/effects would be good. Haven't seen any studies along this line, it's trial and error & guess work right now.

If in fact it's the amount of light/photons causing extended harvests, there's a difference between how the techs behave. It could be COB specific. I stretched the 315 LEC's to 26w/sq. ft. (3.5 x 3.5') and didn't see any difference in finishing times.

You'll have some help soon with the new COB bars pushing 300W+ each :)

I am curious what they will do for you so will be watching.

My change in medium recently has made a much larger impact on my grow than any change of lights ever did. I try to tell people the lights are important, and they can be dialed in, but you need to have the rest of the environment dialed in too and the light source is but part of the picture.

Yours are going into my early veg, where they will do some serious work.

That makes sense, was wondering how much that factor plays into it. This run was extended by a few days but was also running at ~25-28w/sq. ft. The back may finish faster, smaller area and will have more like 30-35w/sq. ft. once all the 3 gal's are pulled. The Blue Ripper F2/P5 is looking pretty mature at 48 days, about the same as it's previous run.

Just checked and the Plemon first run from seed ran under the COBs but at a higher w/sq./ft. and was pulled at Day 57 vs. this one at Day 66. This may have some merit.

That said, if I have to wait a few days extra for the level of quality and quantity I'm pulling out of there right now, so be it :)

Yeah, if you're getting great results why fuck with it? In my case things aren't quite ideal so I'm still tweaking shit. I'm running 5400/144=38W/sq ft of COB LED @60% so with 80 degree lenses it's a lot of light lol

And then on my end the HPS plants started to flower much earlier than the COB side..........very strange lol.........

I'll play with it but yeah, they're giving me what I'm after so if it takes an extra week it is what it is :) I'll adjust the light schedule first it's an easy change and if I keep everything else the same it should give some indication. First couple of runs in '17 will be clones that I've run before as I have nothing but clones coming up until I start popping new seeds in early Jan.

Got going and rough-trimmed the Plemon and Blue Dream. That "little" bonsai Plemon may weigh more than the Blue Dream :D

Group shot, Plemon, Blue Dream & JTR down, couple of zips in there :hump:

And the finger hash pile grew some :) Per tradition, had to smoke some :eyesmoke:

This little Blue Pyramid in a 1gal has been forgotten among the larger plants. It was the last to go in, a week after the last batch so it's at Day 44. Almost there, could be done in 7 weeks :) I had a small clone in a cup I didn't need, so I up-potted it to 1gal and flipped it. This is the tangerine hash pheno, very tasty nighttime indica. Rock solid buds.

Looks light one hell of a yield groErr. Looking back at couple of your other harvest this may be the best in my eyes. Big fat colas top to bottom

Cheers Pig4buzz, definitely a good run and likely the most weight coming out of there for sure. Those 1st 3x 3gal + the little 25g Blue Ripper x Blue Dream looks like 1/2 lb. + dry. And there's several more fat colas coming out in the next couple of weeks :)

Here's what's left as of last night:

3x1 gal? They were in 1-gal containers?

Oops typo 3x 3gal were the one's I just pulled, wish I could pull that from 1gal's - lol

In the first pic you can see 2x tall one's at the back-right corner. Those are 2x 1gal, wish they were better phenos but they'll fill up the hash bin ;) They were straight up from seed in 1gal's, Blueberry x PPP F2's, good yielders but blah phenos so far, nothing special other than they produce well.

De-seeded the Blue Ripper x Blue Dream back crossed to the Blue Ripper male. A couple or ~60 very robust seeds to hunt through in the new year. Will be looking for something similar to that pheno but better production in these, and a dank male. That bud is fire and very tasty mix between the two strains :)

JTR got rough trimmed and chopped last night. Didn't go too close though, it's so sticky I want that sugar trim in the hash bin. The party cup was better for perspective on the size of those colas
Nice little pile of finger hash from trimming her :weed:

Cheers :bigjoint:

Wow, you sure have some nice product going there. I am fascinated with the finger hash, had to Google it to get immersed.
I am thinking that is should be the most potent part, is that mostly correct?
