I think I have come up with a plan for the Deep Freezer, the
FrigiDare 2 Indica After this Doobie.
I know I want the 250W CMH in the Center like my other fridge. I have a 150W HPS all ready to go. I was thinking both overhead and t-5's for side lighting.
I have a new plan now, that I've hinted to a bit. I needed the day to get it in my head, analyze, and re-read some stuff. I think, I have something that may prove VERY effective to grow 1 Plant, or a SOG for a few. And even more important, would be something to be copied.
After seeing RiddleMe's, when he first mentioned IR a couple months ago, I bought one to be ready. I
just got my Main Chamber under temps, so I can't use it there. He is getting good results so far, and it looks encouraging already.
I was going to try the Heat Lamp in a Cool Tube for the IR. I checked it today and it was too big to fit. I was thinking Vertical for it. Gumball put up a post with a good idea I may incorporate.
I saw something involving UV-B and it's point was that the radiation causes damage that the plant repairs by Trichomes thickening. I have noticed my plants under my 400W CMH Veg table are affected by it in some differences to some degree. They are itching to flower at 18/6. Red stems, white pre-flowers, and mutated growth (Silica, I know). I think the fuller red of the CMH is some part of it, and we know they DON'T block the UV-B unless you order the wrong one.
On the Heat Lamp, I was planning on using it for the last 4 weeks or less. From what I've gotten, the last few weeks is when the largest part of the cannibinoids are developed. Now I am using part of this line of thinking with this plan.
The Info from Ed Rosenthal's new book had me thinking. He is obviously a Master and I want that Book to read more of what he's talking about. RiddleMe got me thinking even more, once again. The Idea of Variation in Spectrum to gain growth caught my Eye, I've stewed on it since I read it, then re-read it again.
RiddleMe talks about copying Mother Nature as a goal. I thought that way already, but reading he, and U.B.'s views has CEMENTED it in for the most part. On to my Plan.
From that Ed Rosenthal excerpt.
[/QUOTE]You can make your own
far red energy lamp by covering an incandescent bulb with opaque black paper. The visible light is blocked but the far red rays go through the filter. Far red bulbs are available at pet shops where they are sold as black heat lamps.
When far red light comes in contact with the inactive form of the flowering hormone, the hormone is immediately converted to the active form. The far red light doesnt have to remain in contact with the plants longjust a few moments will do.
Photoperiodism is a localized effect. Because the effect is localized, all parts of the plant must be reached with the far red light. Think of applying far red light as you would think of spraying water on the plant. The entire plant and all its vegetation must be dripping with water when you are done. It is in this manner that you have to spray the plant with invisible light. The spraying should take place each evening after dusk or after the lights have been turned off.[/QUOTE]
So I underlined the idea I caught today after the IR Bulb didn't fit in the Cool Tube. It's what I added last. So I thought "What about window tinting on a Bake-a-Round where each Incandescent is?" I think it would work to 'spray the plant with invisible light'. I thought about it and a 'blue' light in the center of the Tube would work too.
I have 2 Main Ideas. Both have Side Cool Tubes with 2 Incandescents and a Blue Spectrum bulb. 1 Idea is a Horizontal Cool Tube with HPS & Incandescents. The other is a Vertical Cool Tube. The Side Cool Tubes could vent all together with the Horizontal One or the Side Tubes could be lower or higher.
So here's some pics and diagrams. I got all I could, ready to 'un-veil' my plan. What do you guys think? Yellow is CMH, Red is HPS, Purple is Incandescents & Blue is a Blue Spectrum Bulb to be determined still.
