LED Mix

Not just 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, but 7 different LED types providing photons for the plants needs, always keeping the lux near under 85000.......There was 1 male of the 4 started........currently 3 HumberValleyKush/AutoCheese/HumberValleyKush......a few more weeks and they get UV LED turned on to finish, and final weeks increase to over 85000 lux.

All 3 Kush/autoCH/Kush have had a bacterial and more fungal compost tea in the past week , yesterday EC and PH check from runoff were high ,slowly flushed a gallon 5.9ph thru each then checked again showed well so only giving RO ph'd under 6.0 . I dont filter or strain my teas making things rise temporarily until a flush brings the normalness back . The strong teas soaked in for a week encourage more organic ripening from week 6 on.:weed:

Another compost bloom tea added today , reverting from top feeding to bottom takeup until harvesting . I watched the plants suck in all the compost tea I filled their plant trays with until they stopped drinking...Bottom fed from now on helps them ripen with more oxygen taken in from the top.

More far red in bloom adds more lux ,par and intensity ,very measurably increased light that can double your lux without beaming heat..on my meter lux is doubling to over 140000 at the plant I aim the Far red LEDs bulb at.
 
Last feed : My homemade powdered banana peels...mixed about a tablespoon per liter RO for last bloom weeks after 1 helping of Magnesium Sulfate and Sulfer ...water only now on.
