I think Im going to add 2 more plants to the table..... and go ahead and add the removable shelf...... would make it 42 plants under 1000W. 27 in 1 gal pots, 15 in 5 gal pots. That is all beautiful stuff man.... wish you had a photographer like ME! hehe :P

Shooting for 1 oz per plant in table and 2 oz per plant on shelf. 27 oz from table, 30 from shelves= 57 oz's total (3.5625 lb's). 1596 grams for 1240 watts.

:) the more you can fit under 1 light the better.. but realize how much space the plants will take up in flowering... :)

Yup...

That is why I choose to raise lollipops... the 5" square pots give each plant just the right amount a single cola needs to be happy...

up to you :) My new rule is 36 plants per 600W ...... = over 600g's all the time... if you have a nice yielding strain you can go over 900 ... even 1 kg... all depends..
Click to expand...
Yup...

I pack them in @ 4 loliipops per sq/ft...

That means 48 loliipops under each 600...

I have gotten one tray (my best so far) to average just over 20g each...

20g x 48 = 960g = 1.6g/w.. (not counting anything other than the light)

yeah SOG is the best way to go, there's no doubt about that.. i wanted to keep mine small aswell, but the heat just go to much for em and they starting bloody shooting all over the place... not, i had 1200W of blue light shining on em, it wasnt that.. it was the heat for sure.... :(

oh well no i did a lst expirement hope it comes out good, + i dont have any more growboxes left. got to get one after harvest :joint:

I recently cut some branches from the bottom of a very small plant.. lets say, the smalles plant i cut to taste..

the smell is very much like tasting a wine a very creamy wine..... :)

-

Its exactlty the same taste as i had with the weed before, its nice.... Today is day 46, I will continue to flower for another 2 weeks.

and start flushing in about 3 days.

I was curious about them, well, I was expecting a little more response than that...

was it better than using 6400K or 2700K or better than a combination of both?

any additional info you could share would be really nice.

heh :) didnt have time to type allot sorry :)

I havnt used a blue one..... so i cant tell you.. you do know that a 2700k is for flowering, so you should know the diffrence basicly you can use the 25000k ( purple ) for clones... veg'n... and flowering... but only for the end i think... :)

you'll need the 2700k for flowering.... and a nice addition is the purple stuff.. because it increases the smell of the plant... well thats i what i noticed.... :) as soon as they were under the purple the odors of the plant realy came forward.. hope that helps.

Yea, I guess its not really worth getting over a 2 color combo with daylight and soft white then. Seems like its more of a novelty item to throw in with a setup thats already balanced for some 'extra'.

Addition rather than replacement tho im sure u could grow with just purple.

Sounds interesting, I guess I'll just have to do some more research before I dive into this. If it looks like its worth trying to will probably do a lone purple grow.

PURple is excellent at the end of the flower cycle - UV light is needed to fully fill the glandular trichomes of basil. Plants of Ocimum basilicum L. were grown in the absence of UV light, both peltate and capitate glandular trichomes were incompletely developed in both mature and developing leaves, the oil sacs being wrinkled and only partially filled, there was a large decrease in the number of broken oil sacs among the peltate glands as the mature glands broke open, releasing volatiles. the number of glands and the qualitative & quantitative composition of the volatiles were badly affected by the lack of UV light.

source



is exactly what i was gona type but wasnt sure :

Aquatic Plants: Actinic Blue for Marine Plants and PURple for Tropical & Freshwater plants.
Land Plants: Warning: All fluorescent lights emit UV light, PURple emits proportionally the most. When using any fluorescent lighting with early seedlings or early cuttings they would be best be protected from copious amounts of UV. This is easily remedied with a single sheet of glass or perspex or plastic, between the fluorescent light source and the plant tops, a Propagator top is ideal. (see PS1)
In many circumstances a combination of only White and Red are traditionally used, White for all pre-flower stages and red for all post flower stages. A favourite for all pre-flower stages is 50% PURple and 50% Gold, a favourite for all post flower stages is 30% PURple and 70% Red.
PURple is known to be favoured for growing equatorial plants, such as Orchids and is proven to promote the production of flavoids which can enhance the colour, odor and and flavour of plants.

in future you can use google and find out stuff for yourself.. if you want to research a bit more before asking.. i did say it increases oder and you can realy smell it :D

Yea, I read all about it on google, but I didn't know if it actually WORKED.

I tried finding shit on RIU without any success, just people saying they bought stuff... not really showing the results... or comparing them to anything.

And what do you mean by odor... does it make the bud smell more pungent after its been cured or does it just small danker when its growing?

I haven't found any credible looking stores online that sell these 25,000K bulbs.. IDK about that nlite website. I found one somewhere but lost the bookmark, guess I'll have to keep looking.
