Interesting...OK.
Do LED (QB boards) cause less stretching & generate more frost than HPS?

It's a bit uneven but roughly 8'x13' or so. I don't know what shape the plant will develop into but I'm thinking something like 5 or 6 feet tall and 3 or 4 feet around.

If you had to pick one spectrum to flower with using QB304's, would it be 2700K? The reason I wanted to mix spectrums was to see if the 4000K side had increased resin production. Then, did the 2700K or 3000K side produce more dense flowers. Would the parts of the plant that got an equal dose of 2 different spectrums show any differences. Would the 4000K produce too much leaf relative to the 2700K. Stuff like that.

if i had to pick one spectrum to flower it would be 3500k 90 cri
i personally think the difference between 2700k to 4000k is not super dramatic. some people claim that 4000k has a big "hole" in the spectrum and isnt great for flowering but ive never seen anything to substantiate this

Decisions, decisions...lol
Maybe I'll pickup (2) 3500K's then and that will give me a 4000K, a 3000K and two 3500's. I can get a bit crazy with lights sometimes...haha

I remember reading another post from you talking about the differences between 80 and 90 CRI but I don't recall where. Ok...thanks for all of your feedback

Blue drives frost, Cold night temps drives stretch, Blue minimizes stretch. If you want frost, stem split last 3 days before chop, i noticed a big difference.

What do you want to know? I have Trichocereus pachanoi, Trichocereus peruvianus, and Lophophora williamsii.

One week of difference under half of 270w of QB-288 V2. Pretty good for a pure Sativa.

No complaints about frost under LED from me
I don’t know about qb creating less stretch and more frost but my light certainly does that. I am actually doing a side by side and just entered the flowering phase. But the difference between my light and another burple led is day and night. I have barely any stretch with my good led but the burple one is making the gals really stretch.
So yes good led light definitely creates less stretch and more frost than ordinary lights. I have journal of my girls under my good led right now as well but not the plants under crappy lights. Here is a link to my previous and current grow under my good led.

I think 3000 K. They are very good.

Looks good. Soil looks a little dry?? Is it some form of coco?

It is mostly a mixture of peat, coco, pumice, and perlite. I’m growing a few pure Sativas, they don’t like it too wet.
Edit: Ah, this was my last cycle. I finished this and now have ~1,000 seeds of Purple Haze/Malawi x Oldtimer’s Haze.

I use a mix of 3k and 4k F562b's strips and 4k H inFlux_L06 strips. Very little stretch even on sativa dom plants. And frost is definitely produced heavier under leds than hps. Atleast in my case it is.
These were grown under that light.
Then my other light I built is a mix of 2700k and 3000k.
Seems to yield just a tad more. But it's also a stronger light and bigger space. 120 more watts. And I have 2x2 more area.
Single rows are sammy f562b 3ks and the double row are sunboard 96 diode lm561c s6 2700k. Dont get me wrong it brings the frost really good. Also strain dependant. But I do like the H inFlux_L06 4k strips the best out of all of them.
