that's day 18-20 of 12/12 or do you measure start of flower some other way?
I'm not sure why anyone wants 730nm during the full light's on period.
ive had late veg pistils, but nowhere near as long as what you got going on.
Great job chron! I JUST got my 730's reshipped yesterday... guess the holiday's just ended over in China, another 28-32 day wait![]()
I'm kinda surprised with my 730 at lights out run. I got pistils about 7 days in which is the fastest for me under any kind of lighting...but they are finishing at a more normal pace. I actually think I was a bit farther ahead in flowering at 50 days when I had the 730 on full time. Flowering could be a little behind because I added in in some blues too though...still fast..
still trying to to figure out if the 730 is worth using or not. Should probably do a run without it and see if white heavy panels even need it...
Oh nice...DIY isnt that hard...(well my soldering still needs a lot of practice) and fuck is it addictive...all of my projects are still alive so i must be doing something right.
Yip Multimeter a must...cheap or expensive....mine cost $10
The preliminary results i have had in my early stage of flowering suggest it is highly feasible....and if it doesnt work ...at least you will get your dick wet in the DIY world.....hmmmm maybe i should rethink putting: penis's, water and electricity in the same sentence..![]()
I've never run my DIY panel without the 730 so I don't know how fast it would flower without it. Next run I'm going to leave it completely out and see how long flowering takes.
my first run, same strain, with 730 on full time was a touch more developed at 50 days. I'm just noticing more white pistils at day 50 than last run.
Might be more enlightening to run 13/11 with end of cycle 730 on one run, then follow up a 13/11 without any 730. That should show whether it's working or not.
maybe it was only necessary when running red/blue lights with zero 730 and flowering wouldn't commence.
Maybe it would be more useful with long flowering sativas?? Lots of questions...answers should come with time..
Taking a page from the floods/cobs, here's the direction I want to go: COBs+ spyder heat sinks + parabolic reflectors

Can you customise your spectrum with these...?
What happened to the 2 x 4 panels you were getting....? (i forget the size you were getting)
Got the 2 x 4 panel, and a 1 x 4. My partner installed the 2 x 4 yesterday. I should see it tomorrow. He says it's bright. Keep in mind it's 5000K for office lighting. Also great for veg.
I searched several similar cob/reflector companies, but found no options for cobs without going to china and placing a minimum order plus heavy shipping cost.
I figure upgrading the cob should be relatively simple
Well i'll be interested to see how they go...hell i'll been harping on to you for me to see them for a while now....![]()
Go the source my friend....
