I don't agree with this, I prefer the taste and effect of the high when I use a 2/1 ratio of 600whps and one 600mh. A better product, hands down, and YES I do know that the yield is a SPECK less, but I've done the pepsi challenge, on my own stuff, and the 2/1 makes better herb, no question.
My buddy left several branches hanging upside down for a couple of months because he forgot about them. The finished product Is exactly how you described. And it was actually really dank too lol
Agreed, that's just the way it works.
forgot if you use rhodelazation method or what ever its called when you let them flower past prime so they toss out some sacks those are fem too from what i understand
You are young lol
Are you saying using molasses as a whole is a myth? think most organic growers would beg to differ, will admit its abilities can sometimes be exaggerated by stoners but most nutrient line sweeteners are just a more expensive sugar/carb.Smootherpete said:
yeppers black strap molasses
If you say so, I do use molasses to breed beneficial microbes (EWC, ZHO and Aquashield) But when I put it in the DWC water, they already ate the mollases' sugar. And if you read the very popular root slime cure thread, he warns about putting molasses directly in into your nutrient water. In soil, roots produce enough sugars to keep beneficial bacteria alive. As far as I know, no need for molasses.
Hmmm... I wonder if there may be a kernel of basis for this. I just had the thought that plants DO produce methyl jasmonine (which stimulates terpene production) in response to insect attack.
Shit I wouldn't want to toke on some ganja that would make my lungs turn brown & come down with the piles though. I believe I am goin stick to the FDA approved way of curing & drying my buds for now. lol
but the photosynthetic growth response charts clearly show plants don't use TWO wavelengths they use a broad spectrum. It's not an argument I wanna start, all i'm saying is I have indisputable evidence (in my mind) that the added MH makes it a better smoke, even the taste and end appearance are different, not to mention i'm convinced the glands look bigger to me (sparkle more to the naked eye) and NO that's not with the MH light on, that's with the same led light I always use to look at them. believe me, If I got the same results from just hps's, i'd use em, they are more efficient (more lumens per watt) and produce waay less heat (which equals closer bulbs) , but, i'm telling you, do the pepsi challenge on your own stuff, that you KNOW, and then tell me after, if you're impartial, i'm willing to bet you'd like the hps/mh combo better. Thats's all i'm sayin. Try it, just try it, if you have a normal ballast you can switch it to the MH setting and all you'll be out is 85 bucks or 60 bucks or whatever for the bulb. You can re-coup that, right?
NOOOO, use molasses! it's great! black strap molasses, I thought everyone knew that. no offense intended of course, great with micros, and a super potassium food. In fact black strap molasses is good for HUMANS as well, kinda strong tasting though.... but I know a yoga girl (mmmm yoga girls.....) oops sorry... yeah, I know a yoga girl that has a spoonful every morning, and I can safely say she tastes fantastic.... Oh, makes a nice plant food too. Kinda got off topic there...
