    the left side of the spec (blue, maybe uv) seems to hold stretching down... it tells the plant ur right in the sun.. ur all good a higher percentage of right side of the spectrum (red, especially far red 730ish).. tells the plant ur in the shade.. stretch for that sun proabbel why plants eems...

    Environmental Controls & Airflow Help Needed (Room Inside a Room -Sealed/Vented Hybrid)

    some things to think about... if ur adding co2 to the flower tent i dont think u want to exhaust anything. it would have to be a closed system durring the day unless u want to buying more co2 every other day... it goes fast enough already. but operating in a tight space w what could be a...

    Flowering stretch phase with LED

    going from a 600 hps to a 150 led has got to be a pretty drastic drop off in light.... even if u got that LED inches from the canopy... LEDs are more efficient yes,,, but not 4x more efficnt... assuming the spectrums are equil i think u will see more stetchinug from this grow as the plants...

    Where do you get your fertalizer info/science?

    i agree... but i learned wayyyy more from bugbess paper on nuitents than i did on forums or magazine articles... it just takes longer to grasp.. but in the end, way more beneficial..

    Where do you get your fertalizer info/science?

    i get what ur saying.. growing is inutative.. i dont follow bugbees paper to a T.. i have tio make adjustments for subtle reasons of course but like i said i work off of bugbess 2004 paper on nuitrent recycling in hydroponics and the caplan studies... generate my theories, plans, moves ect. on...

    PSA high light after natural sunset

    More and more research is coming out on how its just terrible for you to be going in the room after natural sunset in ur local area. ur body and brain are taking cues from the light much in the same way the plants will. if the suns gone down and ur brains taken the cue to wrap up the day... a...

    Iv been looking for information on fertalizer rates... cannabis specific Im wondering where most people turn for that kind of information... If you have a history and good data for this stuff then by all means lemme know what u got... but im more interest in what articles people are working off...

    4x4 light for $1,000

    great setup... the build is so important w the hydro cuz u cant move the plants... i really like it can i ask about the ur logic behind lowering the lights... i know a lot of people do it around week 7... id just like to pick ur brain a little about that... also curious about how much lower u...

    Dr. Bruce Bugbee method: NASA technique on Mars etc.

    im running straight hydro w RO water... trying to go no flush of the whole system as that will cause me some problems. in the past iv created his soil mix.. and ran the nuits from the video... simple, easy, really a great technique... the goal was to basically recreate that from a hydro...

    Why is defoliation so controversial?

    how does a plant distribute the light it recieves? do the fan leaves at the sites of colas only direct the energy they receive to the bud sites they are adjacent to. or is the light recieved by fan leaves distributed throughtou the whole plant? from a photon capture...

    Dr. Bruce Bugbee method: NASA technique on Mars etc.

    i figured id just post the math... someone let me know if its wrong... there is a description in the article where he describes the difference between his mix and the hoagland solutiuon.. he says his mix contains much less nitrogen because half of the nitrogen can be supplied via the ph control...

    Dr. Bruce Bugbee method: NASA technique on Mars etc.

    ya its quite difficult in the hydro... im trying to make the mixes w half the nitrogen and supply the other half of the nitrogen via nitric acid w a ph controller... even w the passive uptake in calcium its hard to get the amount of calcium u need into the mix without adding too much nitrogen...

    4x4 light for $1,000

    cool..im not sure to be honest...its hard for me to work within that forula without taking distance from canopy into account. its is by far the biggest weighting factor in the PPFD equation. when it comes to lighting i think placment of photons is much mroe important than efficnecy of the...
