Me too. That's a good deal. If for nothing else to have on hand for back ups. There's no hydro stores near me so when one malfunctions or burns out I have to wait a couple days for delivery.I’d be all over that !

1st 2 pics were 2 days ago when I chopped her, last picture was last nightI kinda wondered why those fan leaves weren't hanging down, maybe cause there fresh cut and cold.
No idea what you are talking aboutsomething about these photos don't sit well with me, maybe I'm just drunk, no offense good job man! just saying something ain't right lol!
They look great and its good to see you still popping in from time to time.1st 2 pics were 2 days ago when I chopped her, last picture was last night
Chunky: I bet you are right, I am running vert bare bulb CMH and had to invest in some acetylene welding goggles just to be in the room, UV eye damage prevention was top priority alrighty..CMH has a better spectrum, but I bet it was UV-B that made the difference.
These look great! I was very excited to run this strain, Started 5 seeds, 3 popped and all 3 ended up male... Very bummed but had also started 5 cookies and chem and got 3 nice starts I'm looking forward to flowering out if they are female
Looks so tasty and sounds even tastier! Can't wait to get my 4 females into flower soon!Hung 1 of my Cowboy Cookies.. she reeks of garlic and some type of fruit in the background.
It's luck of the draw imo. I popped 5 CC and got 4 females...Appears to be a high male to female ratio lately.
Yea boy they look great to me, that was the only thing I could see that Greenthumbs was talking about and thought it could be from the cold. Great job!1st 2 pics were 2 days ago when I chopped her, last picture was last night
Recently a Phillips CMH bulb popped not sue why it went only 2 cycles on them, anyway replaced it with a hortilux bulb, it strikes up very fast and is noticeably brighter then the phi,lips bulbs, just into week 4 flower so it will be interesting to see if there's any differance...yea I've always used the eye hortilux! it's the only bulb I've ever used!
I am a steelhead and chinook nut and can say without a doubt scent makes a huge difference on catch rate, a buddy who smokes cigars proved that in spades got to the point he had one of us tie his bait on his plugs etc.Try it.
It's kinda like fishermen who say they don't worry about scent contamination because they always catch fish, regardless.
I wonder how many fish they would catch if their bait didn't smell like cigarette smoke and gasoline...
You are correct. They use it for insulation. But they also use it for protection from the sun as well as to catch pollen. The stickier the more pollen that is caught. And lower temps produces more trichs.You want more trichs go with better genetics seriously.I never saw any difference at all in trich manipulation with lighting.The sun has more UV than any man made light and indoor nugs are frostier because you can control the temps and humidity which IMO are the only things i ever saw that effected trich development first hand,
Start with a fire clone that you know is gonna frost rail on ya,and keep your canopy temps down during trich development phases especially lights out.As far as we know plants develop trichs to insulate themselves with oil to help protect the seeds from the cold.I havnt seen any documented proof from a credible source that can prove UV will promote more trichs on identical cuts.
That's why like you said. The lowers always get more trich development than mains. But not always some genetics are just frosty. But not all. Mains are closer to the point of light.I have a video of cake a foot under the 1000 cmh and no trichs lol cause it's just to hot.in the cooler areas I got trichs for miles but right in the hottest areas leaves are smooth as can be loo.
People have a tendency to put their tops too close to the light source causing "dryer" humidity at the canopy. More light and lower temps will produce the Trichs. Heison is right about the shaded buds being frostier because they are able to "perspire" normally. Higher canopy temps requires higher humidity. I keep my Veros about 12 to 20" above canopy and control PPMs to between 1000 and 1200ppm. Anything over that requires CO2.That's why like you said.

This is just my opinion from what I have experienced when I switched to the Veros from HPS.
Don't want to get into a "COB vs HPS" debate, but this is where the LED's benefit by lowering canopy temps. The heat produced by LED's is above the heatsink and not below the actual light. The more fans the better, keeps uniform humidity in the area you need it the most. (between canopy and light)Good info!
I still run HID with open reflectors and it sounds like it would be a good idea to have a small fan that blows a continuous stream of air through the gap between lights & plant tips. It wouldn't affect infrared but should help with radiant heat.
