My understanding is that many LED lights now use some red chips not only to amplify the red portion of the spectrum, but also because doing so somehow jacks up the efficiency rating of the light...which still seems to be a major selling point. So, whether or not added red chips do anything...

Yeah, but what about terpene and volatile ester development? Your disagreement is in regards to yield. I'm not really making any claim against that. I'm not making any claim at all, in fact. I just have a suspicion that there IS something (maybe unstudied at this point) to other wavelengths of...

Nice! I kinda did the same thing this last run....except I used my OLD HID ballast and fixture. I found two things: 1. The HID lights did not produce as big a yield as did LEDs...(in my experience) 2. HID grown plants did seem to be more fragrant and the trichomes were consistently more milky...

My feeling is that it might not have to do with photosynthesis....but it MIGHT have something to do with ripening.

The skunk has left the building. Good luck finding it again. If you do, then please let me know.

Yeah, the tendency of hoarding seeds (and weed) comes from a time when everything was illegal and you had to get the most of whatever you could get when it was available. Seeds didn't used to be a problem at all. They came free with every bag of weed! Too bad I didn't save the TWO GALLON jar of...

I WON a Hi-Si beaker bong and ash catcher years ago as a door prize a a head shop. I was just going in to look around! I came home, excited to try it. I smoked a couple bowls.....I didn't like the mouthpiece at all. It was uncomfortable to draw from. I WANTED to like it because I never win...

Excellent points about the onset. I, myself have never gotten the right kind of high from edibles. It only took me a few times to realize that I'd eaten too much and the feeling of being too high is uncomfortable and lasts too long. Some people love that feeling. Me? I'd rather do a dab or a...

Sorry about the root rot. I'd probably try and cut that plant above the rot and dip it into rooting hormone and see if it will re-root. If I ran any kind of hydro setup, then I think I'd always have a backup of some pots and potting soil to transfer the plants. You obviously can get great...

Well, in my experience in testing various lights over the years, most living creatures prefer light that emits IR....

Hello. Maybe some of you know the light(s) I am talking about....I think I saw the ad for one, here, in fact....but now I can't find it again for reference. Okay....so MY understanding, for years, was that LEDs were going to make HID lighting obsolete -specifically because HID lights were...

I'm about 3 weeks away from being able to sample some of the last run....All the different strains are in Grove bags curing. This is the first time I've tried using them instead of the traditional Mason jars/burping. The bags were heat sealed when I packed them, so I can't even take a smell if I...

What would be really nice would be a feminized blueberry that puts out the smell AND the taste. I don't have the time or inclination to find a male to breed. I just want to grow the plants that have the taste. I've had blueberry strains that smell great but taste like gunpowder when you hit...

Chlorophyll degrades in lower temps....Under the chlorophyll is anthocyanin which is a reddish blue pigment. It's revealed as the chlorophyll disappears. In my experience, you can get some of the sugar leaves to turn purple, but it's mostly the larger, outer leaves that are affected the most by...

DJ Short F5 Blueberry is for sale on DCSE for $159 per pack.....I'm wondering if it's worth a shot.

Yeah I didn't understand a word of it either! LOL! WTF?

Mites are the one thing I just don't want to deal with....and it's not an uncommon problem with growing marijuana. What I have found works for me, in my area, is to wait until the Fall to start my seeds. That way, it's less likely that pests will be vectored into the grow space from outside -as...

Thank God for stupid politicians. They are the only source to poke fun at anymore. They seem to be the only "fair game" targets. If anyone dares make a joke out of any of the many other obvious kooks out there, then the joker ends up being labeled with an "ist" or "phobic" suffix. And quite...
