600w hps hortilux bulb
300w led panel 650nm max in red spectrum

3 gal pots
co2 level around 1000ppm
temp 72-77
nutes-bc bloom kit
water-tap water to britta carbon filter then sets out for 24 hrs
pics coming soon
Day 50
--------
used 24/7 light cycle until today. switched to 12/12... forums say that i shouldnt do this so it went 14/10.. decided to turn lights back on after 10 hrs. dont want them to herm.. this wont do too much dmg will it? tallest 4 lowryders are 15" shortest two are 6.5".. very healthy. thinking of just doing 18/6 from here on out. what do you think?
read a lot of articles explaining how during sleep, there is higher bud/resin production.. and because THC is a self defense mechanism, THC is actually using a lot of energy trying to protect the plant from whatever bad stuff might come along. if you dont let the thc rest, then the energy is being absorbed by the plant and the thc is constantly breaking itself down.. (ie when ppl say use 24/7 on lowryder, go ahead.. might be higher yield.. but i guarantee you that your thc crystals are going to be miniature.. shitty low grade headies high.)
In conclusion...
was thinking to myself that because i had 24/7 up until now and it is day 50 and these girls are lookin huge (shit loads of lumens does a lot work in a closet between 6 lowryders).. then maybe 12/12 will be the best because it will increase the resin production the most? and because im getting so many lumens on these girls during the time that it would be 12 on, would it make up for yield?
most of the forums ive read say 18/6... but theyre all using shitty lighting.. this on the other hand is quite a lot of food for 6 tiny girls
