couple more transplants handled (SOMEHOW) while on envies.. used the 2.0.. the top half from one pail that was from a successful beast used as one .. and the bottom half used for another transplant so she sitting in an existing root network.. and another done in the 3.0 to see if its hot. if all goes well the rest get done tmrw.

the one that got done two days ago is twice the size as her sisters .. quick to grow.. low base puck pots seem to be a good choice

petros up pot sched one to be messed with, word

framing this shit, son
Ahhh, yes...photography and hallucinogens...I almost forgot how like-minded we are. When you were on vaycay and i was watering the ladies i took a .98g dose of envy and i think it was the hardest i ever tripped. I was all alone and the weather was beautiful so i went walking around the city. I started taking random pictures of things and the images came alive like nothing i had ever seen before. I'd snap a pic then sit there bewildered by what i was seeing on the screen. Trees would sway, lights would flash...i was tripping. I would also trip out at how tripped out i was off such a small dose. What a feeling! Climbing higher and higher..."oh wait whats that grumbling in my gut? Oh shit i gotta shit", i thought! "But im who the fuck knows where and gotta make it back to my place." I honestly don't even really remember what happened after that besides stopping to clench a few times as i made a b rather an s-line for home. So with that said i can't wait to do it again! Hope you had a safe night bro.

oh bro, it is amazing how similar we be, i can stare at a phone image ("still" shot) until it becomes moving waves and a real ocean, like a time-space portal created by nothing except attention and intention. what is reality i wonder? everything has a vibration, all matter is actually moving, so we are actually seeing reality not illusions ahahaha.. my night was insane, and of course i survived without a scratch, wait thats a lie, hahahah but i survived

Give you an idea here of what i'll be using for the base of the DIY project.

Thinking of maybe strapping four of these units together. However, i still can't decide on whether or not i want to use the 3w diodes in conjunction with the cobs. Give me some feedback on what you think about that spectral info i posted a while back. That will help me decide.

So now that im looking seems 3 out of 5 girls this round had hollow stems. The gravy, the lime deez, and mystery Chernobyl, above.

Below is some trimmings from the bottom of one of the SLH Ch crosses. They both look a bit purple and nearly identical at this stage .. It was easy to label them by smell though..the gravy REAKSimage.jpg

Never seen much purple last run. What would you attribute the purpling to...lower temps? Lack of potassium uptake? Genetics?

Not sure how i feel about the whole spectrum thing. I feel its still very much up for debate.
Here is the spectral chart for the Vero 18 cob:

Compared to the Eye Blue metal halide which many swear by for flowering:

I feel that using lots of blue supplemented with reds may be the way to go.
Consider if you will this graph in relation to the two above:

Its quite an interesting subject. Look forward to hearing from you on this. Maybe some others can chime in as well.
this is a somewhat confusing subject since all charts seem NON UNIVERSAL and under-unified in my opinion, but let me type some notes from Rosenthals bible that we may find useful…

*plants exposed to pure blue light at 400-450nm (during peak dark period, when lights off) will continue to veg at night AND produce sex organs without needing to adjust timers at all.

*an immediate shift to flowering sched (12/12) will NOT shock plants. (no need to stagger, according to Rosenthal)

*Flowering is localized, meaning if only a part of the plant is exposed a flower-inducing dark period, and the rest not, only the part under the reduced light regimen flowers.

*Red hues turn purple when roots are exposed to temps below 12*C, or 55*F

*Any interruption of the dark period, with light that contains the red 660nm spectrum returns the flowering hormone Pr back to its inactive state, Pfr.. this prevents flowering.

*Blue light at 400-450 nm also has inhibitory effect on flowering, but its effect is weaker than red light. stalks will get thicker and sex can show, usually 2 to 4 nodes from the top. Blue light can be created with led's and blue CFL's, and Rosenthals trials at the time of writing were experimenting with about 200w of blue light per 1000w, or 20%.

All 3 i think, bregrennn…
since the 2.0 provided less purpling. my basic soil had more fade and purp, ur 2.0 was a vibrant green when i cut her down. also those plants i took down all at once, something i wouldn't do again. i like to "pick no bud before it s ready" now, if i can.

and yeah left the AC on all night several times. that gets her to about 17*C. AC is gone now tho.

also cold water a couple times. it comes out cold from the RO machine, and sometimes i had so much going on i didn't have time to warm it up before leaving town. lol.

and yeah some phenos of Chernobyl are known for blood red stems, bloodwreck pheno as well as the JTR pheno if i am not mistaken mon

i just wonder about the reds, bro, you don't think we should have far reds AND deep reds?

also, why 5000K vs 3000K?

and why 660nm instead of 675nm? i see the peak is at 666nm

and how much more would it cost to have the 4 types of lights, vs just the 3

bare with me here, bro. just asking a Don what Gwan

24 hours away from the 11 week mark! WOW, mon. and yepp, we still got gravy bubbling nice. all buds are marked. some came off at 9.5 wk mark. others at 10. others at 10.5. and the rest in a day or two, maybe 3 or 4.
