Thank you @DesertHydro ! Your spot is blowing up for sure. Pulling air out the top of my tent and a moderate ambient temp is all I need for cooking at the moment but I'm sure with more watts more cooling capacity... :)
 
i think we will be finishing at about the same time on this round. that will be cool to see them progress side by side. i wish my future werent all hermies. there was some fire in there! its a damn shame.
 
Looking nice and jungly in there. Think I may have to get myself some of these far reds. Seems like all the grows I see with them run about a week ahead of mine.

Thin it out a bit more, trust me it's worth the time. You will get a better yield also give them a bit more calmag, that's what's going on with the leafs

I have one that did the low cal/mag show on a couple of her top leaves even though they are getting triple most any other run. By thinning out are you talking about defoliation?

Yeah follow what NV Closet Medgrower is doing. Defoliate and get light into lower buds, cobs have a higher PPF/W than everything except chilled led boards. So that also means the you will get more penitration as well. Take off some fan leafs and let the buds grow 10in down into the canopy

Thanks for stopping in @okletsgrow . The Solo diodes I run are 730nm far red, 660nm deep red and 365nm uva. The 730nm is trimmed to come on 2 minutes before lights out and stay on 8 minutes after lights out. The 660nm comes on 5 minutes before lights on and stays on with the cobs for the first 6 weeks of flower. After the first 6 weeks I use the 660nm for wake up only and they comes on 5 minutes before lights on and go off 30 minutes after lights one. At week 6 I start the 360nm for the full duration of lights on till finish. Each set of diodes has its own small driver and digital timer. Sometimes I run straight 12/12 sometimes I will use the extended day method 2 weeks in and go 13.5/10.5 for 4 weeks then back to 12/12 for the last weeks till finish. I hope this is helpful... :)

Hi perroverde,

thanks you for the return. I go to find your numbers of solo diodes by wavelengths and their Drivers and after I make my order for my next run !!!
I don't have another information about the extended day method but I go to find some information with the forum.

Nice pics from your garden, I think it's very smelly ;)

Cheers
