Hmm... The burn isn't from the l.e.ds.. It's probably the strength of the food. The LEDs aren't as powerful as an h.I.d system so the plants won't eat as much...thus you needs less foods I say..
She looks like she'll give you something smoke able or at the very least usable though!
i'm really digging that.. and it makes sense.. i also did begin to cut off N and only give it when needed.. (once i got into flowering) If you think about it.. if they were out in the wild and allowed to fully mature.. and ripen.. i think they would look like that.. and as growers the better we dial into nature and use it to our advantage indoors the better... which is partly why i add uvbtry stop givin it nitrogen all together and make it do the autumn effect, it might shock itself and fix w/e the fucks goin on. maybe less watering too. Make believe it is going through a couple natural disasters and try and mock what would happen nature (http://forum.grasscity.com/advanced-growing-techniques/1047288-diffrent-grow-systems-grow-methods.html)
ACE - Autumn Colour Effect (idk if this is a true method)
probably the most common advanced growing technique that's not general practice amongst weed growers, would have to be the 'Autumn Colour Effect' or the 'ACE' technique, as I like to call it. This is where the Nitrogen is cut off from a flowering plant in mid to late flowering (depending on phenotype) so that the plant extracts all the remaining Nitrogen from it's leaves and puts it into the bud, this hugely reduces chlorophyll level in the plants leaves and buds by the time the plant is finished [which aids with good tasting, good burning weed] (cannabis, being an annual, does not require Nitrogen for the final leg of flowering, having to take it up, process it and motabilize it, hinders it's ability to put all its strength into the flowering process.To use the Autumn Colour Effect (ACE) to its full potential, you have to really know the pheno you're growing (having grown clones of it multiple times) so you know how long it takes to finish, what it likes/dislikes, what it can or can't handle etc.This is a common technique amongst elite growers (not the elite on this site that pay for that status, the true elite, like those who showed me it - and I was sus at first but they proved its benefits too me with out too much difficulty.Too do the ACE technique properly you have to grow Soiless or Hydro, or any other system where you have control over which nutrients the plants do or don't receive at which time during the grow.
i use led for the moms and clones.. once into my final weeks of veg i add the UVB to "tan" the plants prior to swithching to flower which i keep the uvb on during the full 12/12 at a reasonable distance...(hand test) i then rotate the bulb to each corner of the hood every other day to make sure i'm getting even coverage.. (when i'm not using a mover)...One of the earlier pages said you used LED beforeYou are now using 600w HPS
I ask because I also am also curious about UVB. Are you sure the difference is UVB or the change to HPS
heres my lighting regiment:So sorry for your loss
Can you give us a clear update to what you still have going and what kind of lighting? My SLH was a very picky eater. She did best without ever getting nutes in soil, just peat moss and then when she wanted food it was only needed in appetizer quantities. lol
A very picky plant that preferred low temps and little food but produced amazing buds. Best of luck with the remainder of the SLH you have going.
well many people lolly pop their plants and its a perfect time for using those cuttings for clones... since lower branches have the most rooting hormones..
.... minus this last bump in the road..
lower branches if you can .. and i only make clones if i have at least 3 or 4 nodes.. being that i normally slice at the last node at 45 degrees.. and on the opposite end of the slice i do little tiny slits with the razor blade about a half an inch up.. (roots develop from any open wound... ) i also use a rooting hormone like clonex... i've used the cheap stuff before.. no problems.. but i am 100% clone rate with the clonex.. so i'll keep using it..
i've had several runs using promix by sunshine i think.. coco perlite type mix.. the secret that i found is... CAL MAG as soon as you hit flowering... otherwise she yellows out and you'll start getting spots... that and balancing your N during early flowering.. i kept her with some veg nutes till about day 12 flower..
Some more info here..
Yeah definitely, the buds under the uvb hairs where crazy and the bud itself was changing colors more so than without.. there's a video somewhere in the thread towards the beginning.. thc, uvb and me ... Its on YouTube..check it outDamn man im so sorry about your grow
