Here are a couple pictures of my BOO 65 days since 12/12. They were mature and had showed sex before I dropped the light back. This is also the Orange smelling pheno. By far the best pheno but not the biggest by any means. I finally broke down a pulled a test bud and it is drying now. I will try it after a 3 day dry. Pretty much day to day now. I will harvest when it says it is ready.

Looks great. Think you just sold me on an eventual pack.

Looking good! I think you'll like that test bud. Out of curiosity, what are you using for lighting?

woodeye that plant is under a 600 watt HPS. I have 1 under LED light that is doing well also.
I was wondering about lighting because of the color change starting to show in your pics. My LST BOO is now very chocolate colored and the other is not far behind, especially on lower branches. I've seen people suggest that LEDs and/or temperature can contribute to this. Genetics also play a role and I have two other plants that live side by side with the BOOs and have no color change.

FWIW, I have a fixture with 3000K CXA3070s and a mix of red (620nm), deep red (660nm), blue (465nm) and royal blue (450nm) LEDs. The colored LEDs are switched, so blues are on during veg, reds for flowering, then both for the finishing. There are also some far red LEDs (730nm) that come on only for the final 20 minutes every day - sunset time. Temps are usually in the low 70's.

My growing experience is limited, but always interesting to see and learn new things about cannabis....

All my BOO have a little to a lot of color. My night time temps get in the low 60's which isn't cold but might help with color. So plants are going to color up no matter what. Others need cooler temps. Where that line is I am not sure. I have heard that a lot has to do with the difference in temps from daytime and nighttime. I have heard temp drops of 10 to 15 degrees over night will bring color

I just checked. UV light can kill the virus. Avoid cash as much as possible. My one and only post on this matter here. Oh if you have an addict you love in your life.. I pray for your family. As a recovering heroin addict I don't think I would of been able to not chase that get right. Going on 5 yrs clean. I can put myself in their shoes.

UV light can kill the virus.
TLDR: It depends. The UV lights for reptiles (and plant growing) are UVB. These are different from the lights used for sterilization, which are UVC. Either way, human exposure to both should be limited.

Longer version: There are three, primary types of UV radiation, differing in wavelength: A, B and C. The UV radiation in sunlight is mostly the longer wavelength UVA, because B and C are absorbed by the earth's ozone layer and atmosphere. However, a small amount of UVB (~2%) still gets through. Depending on duration and intensity, the effects of exposing skin to UVB range from getting a vitamin D fix, to sunburn, premature skin wrinkling, sun/age spots and melanoma.

UVC has the shortest wavelength. It doesn't penetrate as deeply as UVA or UVB, but has much more energy and quickly damages any living thing - think instant sunburn, fried DNA,.... Arc welders produce intense UVC radiation and you would burn your corneas without proper goggle protection. Mercury lamps also emit UVC and these are used in industrial disinfecting systems. There are UV-LED modules and it's also worth noting that HID lamps contain mercury and emit UVC, although the glass bulb jacket and/or lens will absorb ~90%. Either way, you don't want to stare at these bulbs.

So i just planted my 2 freebies i got and i am starting them inside. Can you cut the seed leaves off and plant them up to their first branch like tomatoes. I would think so just because they are so similar and can be cloned from cuttings but i never have tried it???

Hi Tevin, you're correct. Like tomatoes they can produce roots from anywhere on the stem given the right conditions. However, its best not to bury stems that are too new as younger growth is more prone to rotting underground.

If you cut the seed leaves off it's a good idea to give the plant a few days to heal and seal off the "wound" before burying them up to the first true leaves, again to reduce the chance of rotting.

In my opinion theres no real need to bury them so deep - I normally bury just up to the seed leaves when repotting. Others may disagree though.
