It's not actually a matter of controlling low temps. He's running an experiment to see how this particular kind of heat affects plant growth. Being that it's the same heat the plants would get from the sun.

wrote the ditty on infrared back on page 11

but to sum it up, I am putting the light higher up for proper lumens and adding the IR heat to simulate the sun rather than using the heat from the light and expect bigger fatter tighter nugs :)

I have been told I'm a good teacher? I have also been told I'm a decent grower.

I think that when folks see the things I do and the results, they pay attention cause they want to do it too :)

You are definitely an awesome teacher with the patience of a very wise man. You take the time to answer and help until they understand. I think that your obvious enjoyment of teaching others also helps you to learn as well and you approach it as a win win as both you and your students are benefiting and that is why you are so great at it. Again thanx my friend and keep doing what you do so well.

And I guess you are a decent grower...JOKE my friend....

Namaste' :peace:

Hey Riddle,

I know that the girl in the front right is plainly stretched, which you have already explained. WIth the other three, is that a good internodal distance or would you prefer tighter? You're looking for short and bushy results right? Trying to fill in some of my inexperience :}

Ditto what illumination said. Maybe some day this student might get to say thanks in person.

Thanks!

This is a great question, as I no longer take the blame LOL, at first I thought it was because I put it in late but now I know that the plant is showing more of it's sativa pheno, which I think could turn out to be interesting, as it continues to stretch so to speak.

that is the same strain as Matilda was and her internodes were much wider than the males, by double, so I am pretty sure based on that that this one is a female and the simple fact that it is the only one doing this out of the 4 tells me that it is a pheno showing and not the lights

Ok, so I decided to to top em all at the 5th node (will do the multy topping next time)

as you can see in the pic #4 was only an inch behind, not bad for being planted a week later, this one might be special for the breeding I'm planning

you can also see I'm getting secondary branching as well, they are all doing quite nicely as I got another inch of hieght on all of em last night

First off thanks for all the threads that you have started. Your info and advise has been most helpful. Now for a couple of questions. In your "Nutes on a Budget" thread you talk about Jacks and Dyna Gro being used on a Jacks, Jacks, Dyna Gro. Schedule. Now in your latest grow you are using a new product. Is this change due to grow medium change or just a superior product/npk percentage?

I would also like to know for clarification if you are doing the "rain/wick/feed" through the entire grow? In the wrap up post on "rain" you seem to be suggesting rain for very fast growth or normal water and feed with each watering for slower growth. On the same line of thought, does the "rain" make the plant use more food, or do you lower the nutes some due to what seems like a increase in schedule?

Now for a question more in line with the latest post; the cutting of the fifth node you show doing, how would this work for a clone with some alternating nodes?

I am simply verifying my research, that is the reason for all the changes

Yes I make it rain for the whole grow once I am past seedling stage, yes the plant uses more nutes when you make it rain hence the faster growth, I never lower the nutes unless there is a sign of burning and I do what the plant wants never follow a schedule

Now for a question more in line with the latest post; the cutting of the fifth node you show doing, how would this work for a clone with some alternating nodes?[/QUOTE

it will still turn it into a bush just might not have as many colas

Thanks for the speedy reply Riddle. I kind of thought this was another leg of your "Frankenstein" experiment. "IT IS ALIVE":o. I will continue to watch with everyone else. I'll try the fifth node deal on my Rosebud.


Thanks Again

Little lesson on proper planing, I had a friend that I gifted some beans to cause they were gifted to me. He already had things growing in his garden but decided he had room for one more and put 3 beans down to sex and get a female.

they all ended up being females and he only had room for one, so he calls me up and says do you know of a good home for some foster children? I said of course I do

so these girls are now going to 2 different homes, not only is it important to properly plan your garden but it is also good to expand your circle of grower friends as gift such as this can be shared

enjoy the pics I took while they were visiting

PS took the leaf pic to show the purples :) strain is a Big Bud crossed with a Purple Erkle (F1 cross)

While the guest were here thought I'd take some fun pics, you saw in the last post how bushy these bitches are, they are both 17 inches tall.

I took these pics from the edge of the pot to get a plants eye view at the CMH light, wanted to see it thru the plants eyes so to speak, I thought they came out pretty cool

Enjoy
