Just to update.

The lower half of the BW x BLT with the white buds and foxtails under the new 315lec.

It has already greened mostly up and also finished turning many pistils dark to finish. The buds are actually filling in and getting denser back under the Super HPS 600w.

So what height are you all keeping the 315 above the canopy for flowering?

I have a bud that is now at 16" and shows no stress now that I have my circulation fans set up better. And I read that is where the par and footprint is maxed out. I would say 2.5 feet square of good light from my reflector at that distance. As a guess without a real par meter of course.
Hey Michigan catching up on the thread and noticed you posted a few questions. Not running them right now but ran them for 2+ years until just recently and never saw foxtails like that. But I did find they bleached my leaves if I went below 20" or so above the canopy. They're pretty intense directly under the hood so having them around 16" could have contributed to it. Foxtails or not, nice bunch of budz :)

Thanks man.

But I had the light 22"+ when it happened.

Ever see the buds with no chlorophyll all white like that down lower?

It is not happening to the next plant now that the lamp is at 18"

And I just saw above demon trich keeps his there for flower.

It's almost like the plant panicked like all of the sudden there was no light. And she sure freaked out.

Here is a top bud from the next plant finishing under the new light. The resin production and terpenes seem better than the super HPS again. This time the buds are nice and dense. And quite lemony smelling.

This one has gone past week 11. The 315 definitely changes the bud structure a bit. They want to bust out kinda.

It is a bit strange but I have seen differences recently when I switched over to COBs, spectrum does affect plants (if you've grown same strain both indoor and outdoor some can look like different strains altogether sometimes). Could be something with that strain/pheno and how it's reacting to the 315's. I think you and @Javadog noticed how they mature faster, particularly the hairs which I'd noticed right away when I first started running the 315's, they definitely have some unique spectrum and resulting effects compared to other lighting. Nice bud and classic look to it when running under these LEC's.

I've had Kali mist shoot crazy tails like that when I ran too high of n midway through flower. I'll see if I can dig up some pics.
Sweet thanks!

I was adding to much for a while but I thought I had worked that out by this particular plant. But things we do earlier can always show late in flower.

I also wonder if I let her go too long and it is overgrowth. It has been accompanied by some bananas.

Sativa heavy hybrids are tricky.

Yes my old cutty
Has a 454 in it now before 350 bored out
Blasphemer! Lol

The only fat block that belongs under the good is a properly built Olds 455!

I've built a couple in my time and they pull HARD, bro- NHRA mfr's championship in Pro Stock hard, even when outnumbered by hordes of Chevys and Fords.

Damn straight it did!

Low et wins the race, bro.

Just the memory of the torque that thing made gets my heartrate up, lol

My 7.6 liter fat block (.060 over) would spin to 6500rpm, a snarl you would feel in your bones- betcha my Comp Cams 292H was bigger than the cam in your smallblock. It would still idle at 650rpm.

It was a force of nature lol

I'm actually building a 455 now
I got the 454 for 500 from my relative who spent about 4K in parts building it not including labor
Only reason I went threw the hassle of mating every thing up
And it's different
Same reason I dropped the 350 in he built that one also
Shit I only paid 100 for the lec 315 watt only 1 month old lol

A month ago I scored an 08 limited grand cherokee, fully loaded, 4x4 low, nav, heated front/rear seats, moon roof, parking sensors with 76k miles for 13k. Put some new nitto Terra grappler g2 tires, full fluid change, 3" lift (suspension). FN LOVE this jeep. Went drifting with the wife and kid few weeks ago when we got 7" snow. Was super fun. 1st jeep ever.

BUT, the 5.7 hemis are notorious for having oil leak from the plug on rings into the plug sleeves. Need to change both valve cover and all plug o ring gaskets. 900 dealer fix or 600 small repair shop fix. My back 2 plug sleeves on both banks were full of oil as we're the plugs.
