One more shot I dug up, of those same colas. They were both roughly as long as my arm, I'm 6' 3". She would put out 4-6 like that per plant with a month veg or slightly less, in coco dtw.
Forgot to say, easy to trim.
I have to stay small, so usually about 4 plants in flower at a time.

I dropped two PCK x Bubba and two PCK x Sour Grapes today, hoping to find at least one female, clone it out and run a handful of them after the current run is done.

How much lower are the temps compared to hps

Cauae i thought with led you needed "grow hot"

Since my ability to vent heat is limited, at least until we move, it would probably be perfect for my situation. Based on the micromoles per joule they throw out it should be around 45% cooler which would probably mean canopy temps just shy of 80f for my current setup, with about 35% more photons!

Never used HPS, but canopy temps only went up a few degrees. You can actually mount your driver outside your room or tent, and heat output would be super low... my canopy temps usually run right at 80, so I guess I grow “hot”. But my room runs about 74 with lights off (lower on chilly nights) so there’s not too much fluctuation

Basically what i was wondering was if the heat saved from the lights was made up for by having to run the room @80

which i thought terpenes degraded at those temps and higher?

I have been impressed by led

Just havent tried myself yet

You don't have to run the room at any tempureature. My temps almost touch the 80s cause I dont vent. If I vented my air the room would be in the 60s and all my plants would be purple.

I use a controller
Keeps my room 72 in the morning to 76 ish at night

Night temps dont go below 66 :)

Environment is big imo but thats just me

But i know the led guys have to run warmer due to less transpiration

But i always heard your terps and crystals break down at temps over 80 something.

So i keep it cool. Plus the cold smoke always tasted better then the hot summer runs
All just oppinons :)

You can lower the temperature + light in the last two weeks of flower to maximize resin. I don't really care cause I grow resin heavy strains. In florida I had to use an ac, even with leds. I kept the tempureature at 75 degrees

I have a buddy who spent a mint on custom recirculating liquid cooled COB’s and it was too cool. The theory behind it (lower operating temp = higher efficiency) was solid, but the effect on the plants’ growth, due to low ambient temperature was detrimental overall. Many of you know of whom I speak, he basically bankrolled HLG, too. (And is currently getting fucked from every direction)

I live in south Texas so with the AC on at 72, my room runs 80. I just use fans and open up a few doors to increase airflow. My point was when I added a 280 watt QB my room only increased a degree or two. I just have a fan blowing on the driver...
I’ve noticed my indoor plants compared to the clones of the same plants I placed outside, have almost no smell. Terps are very fruity, with a little skunk but not strong. I’ll chop in a few days, so I’ll see how it’s done.
