Irish Boys Return Of The Inferno With The Spectra 180's

[colocowboy]

Dude, I thought about that for a half second, having multiple sources has a lot of benefits for uneven canopy. That is so kewl! They caught up quick and you can see that fresh growth!
Lookin' good boss!

ya dropping the temps, it has made my plants turn purple every time. it was always at the end i did it so who cares if it was a deficiency?lol. never did it on purpose to turn it purple though i did it for other reason on making cleaner buds for harvest.

Well I know some strains start to genetically turn purple about 30-40 days flowering. I've seen that one done, but if there's a clear way to distinguish between deficiency and a plants natural reaction to the coming of fall then by all means I'm gonna try it. If you don't mind me asking, how does it help to make a cleaner harvest? Does it help with the flush?

ya its work great. soon when it cools down i will have 6x150w lights so each plat will have its own.lol i can adjust to each plant. i am digging it

ya you can tell..

sorry i typed that wrong giving a dark time before havest helps with cleaner smoke IMO. plants do not uptake in the dark but put the nutes back down, so no light no uptake their for cleaner smoke IMO. works crazy good for me

Well that's very nice to know, Irish, thanks for sharing.

ya give it a try i swear by it! ive forgotten before and hated that mistake. if u ever run hydro at lights out check the PPM and it will be higher. thats where i got the idea.lol. my stuff burns very nice and pure white ash none of the nasty black stuff with chems in it

 

[colocowboy]

That is a good idea! I'm on it!
Do you turn off your air for the last week to precharge the cure? The major proponents of this say to let it drown (2 weeks) but the mess and stench is beyond the pale. A good week does almost as much and even a couple days will make a big difference.

Now, 25 days into veg from 4inch clone pots, single spectra 180, when should I turn on second one plants are at about 7 inches tall. Thanks

That's awesome, man. Hey, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get your wick grow pots from? Or where could I look? I like the idea of watering bottom>up and drying top>down very, very much. Especially because that means I can gravity drip feed with some of those hoses. I saw a kit on amazon or something that was like 150' of drip line hosing plus the connects. It was pretty bad ass.

 

[Jman305]

Oh, and has everyone signed the White House petition on the "We the People" website? I'm a little nervous about freely giving them all that info, but it's almost worth it for the cause!

What size tent are you in, bud? It might help having it on now if you need the foot print, but I would most definitely turn it on as soon as you flower. 7 inches tall for 25 days? Man that must be a bush!

 

[hippy132]

4x4x8 w 2 spectra 180's as high in tent as possible, had the lites on retractables but they were not happy, removed and got 2-3 inches more, they seem happier. 7 inches for 25 days w/ 4 inch clones seems small?

ya bro it works Great! give it a try and you will be amazed and look how clean ur ash will be. i have also found taking all the fan leaves off a few days before harvest helps also, but i am too lazy to do all that most times. i leave my fans on for mold issues would suck to get that at the end of the grow.lol.

only turn on the 2nd lights if they have grown out of their foot print IMO. and ya for that time they are pretty short could be the strain though? others seem to have very fast veg time with the lights.

i got the pots from the hydro store but their called Geo pots. they are not made for wicking but for air pruning, i just made them work into my system for bottom feeding.. please post a link of that gravity fed

I think the repotting at day 7 hurt them and the smallest one is still hurting. Hit them with 1/2 solution of nuts first time and second time after F-W-W-F full solution after 2 days of aerating 2 gallons, seem ti be growing and doing better finally. Second lite seems to help, of course much brighter but also seeing less stretch. Leaves were standing up almost (at least two plants).Also used Epson salts and magical on sic lady, not at same time of course...

what up irish , this is that grow i finished with a 120w led that ran at about 60-80 true watts and final dried weigh in i got 2 oz of some of the nicest stuff ive seen around. i remembered you asked to post final weigh in so here i am cheers bro.

just make sure to not over water and make sure their getting the food they want and you will be good. you just have to play around because every strain is different

thanks for the video bro! congrats on the smoke hope you get danked out of ur mind!

so i found out having the lights off durning the day and having the girls sleep in the hootest part of the day was messing with them i believe, its just not natural to have hotter nights. so i now have the lights on in the hotter day and off at night to get that 15F drop in temps.

here is day 1.5 with new light time. girls seem allot happier and one girl is in flower mode shooting out big hairs, she has always been ahead even before the light changed.. i am hoping they will try to match her and kick into flower mode?

with the new light change and colder nights they seem allot happier already in 1.5 days. their just so green and vibrant they almost most look fake in person, like those plastic plants.

 

[colocowboy]

It's weird to think about, having their night (your day) hotter than their day ( your night). This is surely new science that you have conducted! I feel better having gained knowledge today thanks to you! I would rep you again if I could!
Your like the startrek of growing! Bravely going where no man has gone before. lol

i was sitting back and started to think about it, why am i going against nature? then thought where in the world is it hotter at night then in the day?lol. started to do research and found out that we should have a 10-15F drop from day temps to night. if you really think about it when dose the plants get to rest? if its hot when their trying to sleep their still working and the respiration is real high and more then the photosynthesis. they are eating more then they can make and just drained of energy and cant put it into budding and any energy is going into leafs to cool them down. IDK just my thinking on it, i could be wrong but makes sense to me.lol

what amazes me is that ive been able to keep my plants so healthy in the crazy summer temps. now if i can get the flowering figured out i can be a very happy man in the summer time with no A/C.. that would be so great if we could use leds with the less radiant heat and not burn the leaves like HID has done many times and not have to use A/C, thats my goal!

 

[colocowboy]

Really that is the truth, the fact that they are going at all in those temps is amazing!
I think your thoughts are logical and take into consideration how your plants feel which is probably the most important step in being a good nurturer. Being receptive to your plants is the best you can be!
Rock on brother!
