The soir bubbly in the one gallon was ~110 grams after 10 day dry,about 75grams after curing.Not bad for a little plant
mephisto breeds some solid strains.But again as long as my needs are met im more concerned with quality over quantity.Thanks for stopping in man.
37 days from seed.24carat by mephisto genetics.
Ya bro it makes it interesting
I dunno man I always get leaf curl when I lower em down or the plants get too close,and I dont like the overall bleached look.Additionally I tend to get dry crispy leaves directly under the cobs as if they create concentrated hot spots,when they are closer. I dont even use the.cobs for vegging as I dont think its needed.I asked amare about running without the lenses and they advised not to do it and told me they like a 22in minimum.
I think the next contestant is going to be an exclusive pheno deep blue C F2 "mitchs' pick".As soon as my beans arrive ill get the new comer started.
TEACH ME!!So a few people have asked me how the sour bubbly in the 1gal.jug was trained.
Well im going to be trying to bonsai the next plant and we will do this one together and see what comes of it
I see, How is your air circulation? I seen the same issue happen with HPS if you get to close. It will cook tops. The same will occur when using a AMARE light since they match or exceed the PPFD of an HPS light. I actually use a SS-150 in a 3 x 3 x 5 tent and have grown some very nice meds successfully with it. As you can see from the picture I posted my plant is only a few inches from the bottom of the light. I have to keep it well hydrated feed a gallon a day. I also have it directly in front of my carbon filter (Green Gator) and use a small fan which circulates the air under the canopy. I adjust it's position daily. You have to treat it like a 1 K HPS light with a smaller footprint and a lot less heat but not intensity.I dunno man I always get leaf curl when I lower em down or the plants get too close,and I dont like the overall bleached look.Additionally I tend to get dry crispy leaves directly under the cobs as if they create concentrated hot spots,when they are closer.

Here is some of what amare had to say about it.
"The Eclipses come features 120 degree reflectors and 90 degrees lenses. For the lenses picture a cone with the point on top (your light) and the cone is your light beam being 90 degrees from the lenses. You will notice the farther down cone, the footprint/coverage increase in relation to the distance. The 90 lenses also needs ~20" for each COB/monochrome diodes footprint to overlap for maximum coverage and intensity. Your Eclipse generates more peak ppfd than a 1000hps@24" so there's no need to run it any closer than 20", but we recommend 22" with the lenses installed. Your Eclipse generates 1800umol+@12" and ~1400umol@18". The light light saturation of cannabis is ~1500umol with Equatorial strains up to 1750umol so there's no need to ever run it closer than 18" since it's the point of diminishing returns. More intra-canopy penetration will be achieve being farther away. Try taking your open hand at arm's length and hold it up to a light, look at you hand with the behind it and slowly move it towards your face so the fingers will be over you eyes. At the same time notice how your peripheral vision is slowly reduce as you hand move closer to your face and then finally till you can barely see past you fingers to see the light. Now imagine if that was a leaf and you can get an idea that the closer you are to the canopy, the less intra-canopy penetration. Try to imagine your Eclipse as a micro-1000hps with a footprint of 2.5' x 2.5' and treat it accordingly". HTH
Cheers!
Thanks for your input on the amare light
Your Welcome, What new LED are you going to be using?
Apache tech at200 r2
Interesting you would chose that light. Considering your height limitations. Here is what I found on their spec sheet.
Yeah, I agree. The suspension cables are long, keeping the light so far from the ceiling that it's to close to the plants with no room to move up so I'm using it w/o the lenses. There some real-deal lenses though. Wouldn't even call em lenses. More like magnifying optics. Liking the spread w/o the lenses & not to intense so far. I think it's built like a tank. Had to post up a 2"x3" to the ceiling even after screwing it to the strapping. Not very residential. More professional/commercial I think. When does your Apache come in? I personally enjoy trying different LEDs that I like.Cool man ill come check out your shenanigans
