Prom

Day 4 of week 4.. the First June 2021 Update Got nothing, pot still wet from the flooding from yesterday Had load shedding.. so there is a little jump, I didn't move the cam with the plants into the mother tent, running on battery backup.

There is a nasty habit to sell grow lights with the wrong diodes declared. They do not use IM301, they use the old version IM281. You can easy spot it on the shape of the diode. The IM301 is a SMD3030 chip class.. what means the diodes are 3.0x3.0 mm in shape.. perfect square. The IM281 are SMD2835 chip class and are 2.8x3.5 mm in shape... check what you get or got. Doesn't matter if IM301 B or H, both same chip class. Not perfect square.. send back and ask for your money back. If they want to sell a IM281 setup.. I would not buy that.. go for the more efficient newer diodes.

And the Pineapple I put a screen over... 10 days after the last pic from the 21 May Is wet, saw a little whitish spot.. Serenade spray. Rest looks good. Light just went out when I was finished with the plants in the flower tent ^^ Will do the same screen setup on the competition plants

Yes, agree.. I kept them rather on the dry side.. curious how the roots will look like. Leaves need to reach the outside of the pot before I re-pot.

Nooo stress ^^ end result counts Week 3 Day 4 Update I made the pot wet, top to bottom today. Sill same feeding (1ml Fish Mix/2ml Bio Heaven per liter mix) Video 30 - 31 May

You can't compare my QBs to MH HID lights.. OK, you can, but grow wise my QBs lose.. they win by energy consumption So far I am happy for 3 weeks old plants. They get a re-pot soon.. going into a 10L pot. I only add Epsom as soon as I see a Mg issue. I very much feel the Eskom price hike on my monthly bill. But they had their first 7 finger done end week 3.. wouldn't call it slow

Week 4 Day 2 Update Got nothing, no changes Video 29 - 30 May

Why?

Day 1 of the 4th Week Update Got nothing.. no changes. Video 28 - 29 May

I have to watch the other one too? working though this one.. thanks for indicating the 8.33 mark, but penetration means just.. not absorbed by the leaf. I am kinda sure the good man understands that. Means, red and blue get very fast absorbed and USED by the plant.. that is why it disappears green nearly goes through.. and the far red will disappear in flower material also faster... leaves don't need the far red in flower.. the flowers do I enjoyed more timestamp 11.00 ^^ that is for the HID guys out there. I didn't thought LED is that much more efficient compared to HPS. I grow trees without using green at all.. and I don't grow tomatoes ^^ more busy with crypto at the moment hehehe

Funny test.. would have loved to see what plants do under just green light.. They did it with Blue and Red.. as 100%.. not sure what they proved. At the end is a might.. not a clear.. it does. The result of that report .. they used tomato plants.. would mean.. screw blue ^^ as hey.. pure red grows fastest even for seedlings? Dang, why is my mother tent blue? What your Dr tells.. is in pure contrary of every grower I know.. including myself Only reason I use full spectrum light these days is because the diodes became more efficient and beside less stress on your eyes, you need white light to actually judge your plants health.. at least I do ^^ I grow very happy with a Blurple. But 100% red wins in germ, mentioned nothing for Veg.. they should have let the plants finish and not just post after Germination.. that is very weird for a result. Contradicts a bit all I learned from growing. (Just read the article)

As long as you see dark soil, there is no reason to water at all As you want a dry cycle, also for the youngsters, how much you give is key.. doesn't really matter where moisture spreads the deeper you go in the pot.

That is the range over which the plants select the radiation they want to use... Green is part of that range, but not used by the plant for photosynthesis, they reflect that frequency. LUX/Lumens are units we use for our eye sight. The light for plants gets measured in PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation), what the plant can actually use. Green light on a LUX meter will give you a reading.. on a Quantum Flux meter you get hardly anything.

Any of those sport cameras will do the trick.. they all have time laps. I use a Garmin Pro Elite.. over 5 years old ^^ Just does FullHD.. but the battery holds for 4+ hours, what I like. I will add a second for the top View ^^

Gas burners are used very often.. other source is dry ice. But the big bottle tanks are in general the way to go.. if you run a CO2 setup.. you also care about how easy you swap your tanks. Do a calculation of your sugar consumption. I got to the point where I decided to leave CO2 totally out for home growing, to much hassle over all. As soon as you use CO2, you need to increase your light.. what makes more heat.. needs more AC.. commercial yes.. but just not worth the effort for the usual home grower.

Can't do that.. by GF would plunder the tent each day.. for the avos

Keep in mind.. when the video ends, they go dark in the single day vids ^^ you see how they prepare to go dark. plants are cool... I made the first long video.. cut all single days I had into the first 3 weeks. Also gave it a speed up (again 3x)^^ Youtube censors it.. tried to change.. but is fun to watch them wiggle

Good Morning and Welcome to the last day of Week 3 No feeding, but I lowered the light again a bit ^^ I leave it here for now. Running on 561-570 PAR Picture hit a bit the low reading ^^ Distance is now 60cm Distance issue is nice visible here.. is very hard to hang the correct distance in a multi lamp setup. The QB would be way lower, if only one would be active inside the tent. I think is the reason why my readings for flower were so much off. Even I tested them single in a empty tent. Depending on light configuration 600 Watt lights have very different hanging distances. And the LUX meters I tested on my phone had up to 20% different results.. then you can also just guess. 100cm hanging distance or 80cm.. is a word. Video 27 - 28 May

The only big seed bank selling total crap and me boycotting it, is Canadian. Pacific Seed Bank.. total joke.. they sell crap by default, don't touch them. The seed strains are not what you get... got 3 strains, 2 planted, both don't match what I actually ordered. The Medical seeds have more THC content then CBD.. as said.. easy ordering seeds. If you do not know the seed bank, read up. Check Redit what people say.. you get a warning.. stay away! You just waste your hard earned money on SCAMMERS. Is like down here, there are also people scamming others over seeds... I would say Sunwest are on the same track. A seed bank to warn people and simply ignore them.. name and shame is all we can do. Rest, I wouldn't even bother...

Plants reflect green light, and don't use it.. that is why you see them green

Mhhhhhhh... People and their LUX/Lumens meters If I remember correct, Veg you are more in the area of 30-40k Lux on the plant. All depends a bit what camera your phone uses.. you should aim for 500 micromole PAR light on the plant.. Lux includes green for example. PAR doesn't. If you got instructions with your light.. use those hanging distances. More accurate as a Lux meter, they measured the distances for the right PAR setup.

Sexy price...

And it was way less complicated as you imagined, right? A few people I know are disturbed to chat to a sales person before they can pay. I kinda like it, as you know you will get what you want. 3000k 660nm mix is exactly what I use on all my QBs.. found no difference between V2 and V3 diodes. Thinking in getting me 2 of those double QBs too.. using it in the Flower tent for the extra kick, if needed. Rand is strong right now.. not a bad time to get some gear

Day 6 of Week 3 Update Got a little feeding this morning, still same. Mix of 1ml Fish Mix and 2ml Bio Heaven. 4th leaf set is done on both, Sisa still a little ahead. Video 26 - 27 May
