It has been a minute time to get our advanced organic grow on...check out lithrogrow.com and fractal water imploding.

you are vegging under 10/14? strictly??? or is that a flower schedule? What part of CALI are you in right now? I might have some farm work for you in a few weeks or something like that.

I meant the 10/14 for bloom, I still veg under 24/0 or 20/4.. I noticed most hybrids do better with 10/14, but 12/12 still works, with 10/14 you can save a little on power consumption.

I checked out http://www.litrogrow.com/, is that your company? I like the organic sustainable approach, since you can reuse your mediums :)

Yea man.. it's definitely time for another grow adventure~

--continuation (UVR8 gene)


Fig. 1. Possible UV-B photoreceptors involved in signaling.

The depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer leads to an increase in the level of ultraviolet-B radiations reaching the Earth's surface. UV-B radiations are known to have damaging effects on all forms of life. In plants, the UV-B exposure leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), eventually resulting in oxidative stress. ROS induce lipid peroxidation of biological membranes, destroy the natural lipid-soluble antioxidants, and alter the expression of several genes through nonspecific signaling pathways. The integration of the thylakoid membrane appears to be much more sensitive than the activities of the photosynthetic components bound within. However, the decrease of mRNA transcripts in the photosynthetic complexes and other chloroplast proteins are among the early events of UV-B damage. Other genes, encoding defense-related proteins are rapidly upregulated under UV-B irradiation. UV-B radiation induced production of ROS, increased the antioxidant capacity and thus, minimized the magnitude of negative impact of UV-B on plants. Specific signaling pathway includes the UVR8 component that regulates the expression of a set of genes essential for the protection of plant against UV-B. This chapter comprises information regarding the UV-B perception, signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, ROS formation, and its metabolism from various studies performed under growth chamber, green house, and field conditions.

CBD Qs..

Always looking for high CBD strains, and I'm puzzled how some breeders are stating numbers like these:

(Great news ,Our Harle-Tsu won the High CBD Award at the Emerald Cup. She was grown by one of our Tea House Collective members and tested out at 21.8% CBD and 0.7 THC. Testing was done by SC Labs. The Harle-Tsu has shown to be currently our best CBD strain. We have now seen tests on the CBC dominant plants showing from 10 to 20% CBD, With many showing almost no THC.)
http://southernhumboldtseedcollective.com/drupal1/

I remember back in 2011, his "Sour Tsunami" was only 10%CBD/6%THC..
His new creation is a cross with Harlequin.. which is usually tested around 5%CBD/2%THC with Tsunami .38%CBD/15.3%THC.. and from that genetic mix came an offspring which tested at 21.8%CBD/.7%THC !? ..Makes me wonder how these numbers are actually calculated, and are they really counting CBD only..

O yea, heres another good site for medical cannabis patients: http://cannabisclinicians.org/

STICKIES~

Can anyone recommend a good (Super Cropping) thread, So far we got a sticky for: FIM / Scrog / Topping, but no SC..
Feel free to post the thread link here or you can send a PM :)

Learned a valuable lesson today, beware of full moons & its "effects".. So now, I will be mindful of the moon's cycles~

Been reading about harvesting and planting around moon cycles, interesting stuff~
Yup, now I know why my uncle (retired cop), always said watch out on those nights, brings out the "cray" in people ~haha

..haven't looked into plasma rigs for awhile, went by chameleon's site and saw they are pairing their plasma lights with kessils~
..i wonder if they saw something in their field trials to just go with only red LED boosters~

here is the spec for the spaceship looking rigs, lol

Spectral
Optimized Light Spectrum for Optimum Plant Performance
325nm - 800nm – Extended PAR Spectrum (includes beneficial UVB & far-red phytochrome wavelengths)
Plasma - PPFD - 2000 umoles (incident - measured @ 10”)
Plasma - PPF - 300 umoles (accumulated average - measured in integrated sphere)
5300K - Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)
95 - Color Rendering Index (CRI)
17,000 - Lumens

LED - PPFD - 400 umoles (incident @ 10”)
630nm & 660nm Red LED’s (Kessil Lighting)


---if you're just starting off, no need to look into these lights, just stick to the K.I.S.S. rule (HPS/MH/CFL will be good enough to produce excellent results).. These are for those growers who are past the (omg i'm growing dank) stage, and are just experimenting with different spectrums to ascertain certain "specifics" regarding cannabis growth..

Hey CWiz, I always thought Shwagbag's thread to be pretty good for info on SCing:
https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/413359-supercropping-canopy-control.html

And I like what Chameleon has done with their plasma, but I don't even want to know the price. Oooof. Too much blue in plasma perhaps? Cannabis spectrum boosters?

Thanks for the link FranJan, i'll look into it~
Yea.. the prices on horticulture plasma setups are still far from being "mass consumer" friendly.. The technology has been out and thoroughly researched, its the parts/assembly I think which jack-up the prices~

Plasma does lean closer on the blue end of the light spectrum-- tho if you look at the spectral analysis on some rigs-- plasma supplies a "full spectrum" --maybe Chameleon wants more reds for better floral production?, the booster thing was regarding the kessil LEDs, its just a fancy way of saying (i'm adding/increasing a certain wavelength)

If you're interested in plasma type tech.. This one always gets my cannabis nerd juices flowin', haha

So cannawizard what do you think about induction lighting I saw in operation at my local grow store looked kinda cool but the grow store guy kinda started talking about PAR watts and shit kind of raised a red flag said this one replaces a 400 watt hps same sale's tatics as those led lights so have looked into these at all .?

Honestly, got zero experience with induction lighting for cannabis growing.. Been reading up on it since a friend of mine brought it up, but asides from that, can't really say anything at this point.. Don't really like dispensing advice about this tech I got no experience with ;-)

So far this is what I know about it:
An electrodeless lamp or induction light is a light source in which the power required to generate light is transferred from outside the lamp envelope to inside via electromagnetic fields, in contrast with a typical electrical lamp that uses electrical connections through the lamp envelope to transfer power. There are three advantages of eliminating electrodes..

Wiki also list a (advantage) & (disadvantage) critique: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodeless_lamp

But like I said, never grew with induction, seems like a cool tech to use for horticulture.. I'm also a big fan of Tesla~
You should stick with your "spidey" sense, grow/hydro ppl will always be "pro" for the products they are selling (which makes sense).. But I don't like it when they always use the old (Photosynthetically available radiation--PAR) sales pitch when (Photosynthetically usable radiation--PUR) is much more important :) Its all about the grow light's available radiant energy (of such wavelengths) that can be absorbed by the plant pigments-- which makes more sense to my wallet~

Plasma via the Luxim lamps are deficient in red far red is whuy the kessils were added...am looking into getting a couple for testing in my chamber then if it does as I suspect then will be implemented...they are perfect as they address the shortcomings of almost all light sources IMO

good thread....subbed

Good to have you aboard Kite :) And please do update us on your findings concerning plasma via Luxim, I would definitely be wanting any personal experience feedback about that tech.
