Light ???

[RM3]

I have mine in near perfect conditions and they stink week 7-8 flower

Based on what?

You know, I don't come here to argue, I come here to teach. Bout 80% of what you read in grow forums is nonsense based on myths. I have always taught the truth and in this instance the truth is that the smell is a defense mechanism that happens when something is wrong. Once you realize and accept this you can adjust things accordingly but most don't and rather prefer to accept the fake news spread by the masses. It is what it is

Some would say frost is also a defense mechanism, so can you have one without the other?

It has been my experience that bud w/zero smell hasn't been stored properly. Temps usually too high.

Terpene release is associated with more than just a defense mechanism.

 

[ttystikk]

Terpene release is associated with more than just a defense mechanism.

The globules of resin the surfaces of the leaves are transparent to UVB light and focus that light onto the structure at the top of the stalk the resin glob sits on. That structure is what makes the resin- along with the compounds we like growing the plant for. Since that structure makes more resin in the presence of more UVB (the studies I've read looked at but did not see such a correlation with UVA), I'm led to the conclusion that cannabis secretes resin as a defense mechanism against UV light.

Why so much? Well, haven't humans spent the best part of the last ten thousand years selectively breeding cannabis to make more resin?!

that could be true in a minority of cases but plants emit a smell to attract pollinators. so when flowers are ripe, they smell more to attract pollinators.

 

[RM3]

Folks are gonna believe what they believe, but if you were to properly set up an environment, as I and many others have, you would see for yourselves that I'm right

Like I said it is what it is

I have grown for decades and I have never owned any kind of smell scrubber. I've had around 100 growers visit my home and smelled for themselves @ttystikk is one of em. Hell I've even had cops at my front door investigating an accident that never noticed that there was a garden goin on

The earth is flat, chem trails are infecting us, climate change is a hoax and dank has gotsta be dank

it's not that i don't believe you but i believe botany more so. and for the most part, that's why flowers emit an odor is to reproduce which is the goal of even the most basic organism.

Cannabis is a wind pollinator.

 

[rkymtnman]

Cannabis is a wind pollinator.

i stand corrected. guess smell wouldn't matter much to the wind, huh?

i haven't grown as much as RM but i've noticed my plants stop smelling when i have a problem.

Do you have peer reviewed articles stating as such from an agricultural stand point or is this more of a Bro Science, like boiling your roots ?
How has that came along ? Is it a recognized practice that been implemented as a whole by any Ag community ?

@RM3 so what is different about your enviro that causes no smell? or is it just the strains you grow?

you're in CO and i'm sure you know that alot of commercial grows get in trouble if they do allow smells outside their bldg.

Full spectrum light
Don't let em touch each other
Allow access to actual barometric pressure (no sealed rooms or tents)
temp & humidity adjusted via heat index

Those are the basics

could you explain the last one. is that the same as VPD chart?

and when you say full spectrum, you add UV and IR? i only add UV.

if you are running cobs have you ever thought of running one of the 660nm t5 tubes like this?

right now i'm running 4000K atreum 144 boards. i just added a rapidled far red puck (growmaus) about a week ago. i think adding 660's is my next goal for the Emerson effect. i loved the results with just the 4K boards on my first grow with them.

what do those power veg cost? any idea? i saw something similar on alibaba that is just red like those but they were dirt cheap, like 8 to 15 bucks depending on length.

@rkymtnman
I feel IR is overlooked and that may be a mistake.
Do you use it or have seen anyone use it with any positive effects?

$25... i'd should have picked up the agromax version but they dont make it in a 2ft version, the 4ft one is $10.

i don't use it and haven't seen anybody that adds it to quantum boards (yet). i think the general consensus is that to run your room hotter to make up for it. but is that really the best solution? not sure.
