Another crazy experiment. Grafting multiple strains to one root system will only save space on root systems, which is not typically where we need more room. You'll still end up with the same amount of flowering space, and you'll need to give the grafts time to heal.

A note about fluorescent tubes. The kelvin temperature of the tube is often coded into the model of the tube. Usually the 2nd and 3rd digit x 100. In your case the Osram 860 has a kelvin rating of 6000k. The '60' in 860 designates this. This has a similar appearance to the 6500k when viewed by...

Shiitake, I dunno if you saw the thread on here with the 90w LED, there was a link in a recent thread, but it was freakin impressive. I'll try to remember which thread it was if you didnt. 108g yield.

Agree 100% with previous post. 100w HPS are readily available and will be much easier to control while providing far more than adequate light for a pc case. 75w are out there too, although I'm not sure of the quality of available bulbs.

Rinse and repeat. If they were all girls, we'd run out pretty quick.

Coral uses chlorophyll the same way terrestrial plants do, and they have been developing these products in a legitimized industry for quite a few years now, so I figure it's worth a shot.

I ordered the bulbs. I was going to veg for another week or so, so that will work out well. When the bulbs arrive, I will install them and switch light schedules. I doubt many will be interested at this point, but I might make a journal out of it just in case the results are surprising. Worst...

Like I said, it should turn on, but a cracked bulb will fail due to overheating from loss of vacuum. Fire, although heavy in red light, is very bad for your plants, you, and the whole damn neighborhood.

As long as air isn't getting in it should still work. That being said, I would probably be more inclined to try a cracked 60w bulb than a 600w. Fire is bad.

Well, I haven't really gotten any feedback, but I just keep looking at spectrum output graphs and I don't think I will be able to resist the urge to experiment much longer. I have a box with a 6x54w T5 fixture in it that is just about ready to flower. They are vegging under 6500k's right now. I...

Hese's a quick example of LST during flowering. The strain is Purple Power which is a sativa and will easily quadruple its height during flowering. Since I grow in cabinets with very little overhead room, LST is essential for me, especially with stretchy sativas. This plant was put under...

I was looking at these dual actinic bulbs with 420nm and 460nm peaks this morning. Ignore the crap about corals and fish colors and just consider 100% blue spectrum output with peaks at 420nm and 460nm...

Allgood, thanks for your input. I'm not surprised that the 14,000k worked better than the 6500k as it output is much greater in the blue wavelengths. I am pretty set in my ways now regarding using t5 fluorescents. I live in an apartment with very limited closet space and no real place to grow. I...

I'm not confusing anything my friend. My point was exactly that plants don't 'see' kelvin. They do however respond to wavelengths, and if i'm thinking correctly, 633nm and 420nm are some of these wavelengths. what I was wondering is if any of you thought that getting rid of the 3000k and 6500k...

Hello all, I'm relatively new here and have found your forums to be full of good information and discussions. Due to space limitations I grow in cabinets and have experimented with HID and fluorescents. I am currently using t5's and have so far been using 3000k and 6500k bulbs like just about...
