Hi all. Just getting to the end of my 1st grow with my hlg 288 lights. Some of the plants seem to be almost ready at 6 weeks. Do these leds shorten the lift cycle of the plant by that much or have I messed something else up?

A strain you've grown before?

Nope. I have a mix. None of which I have done before.

4 florida og - these are droopy and lots of yellow
3 critical... Still dark green
2 green crack... Still mostly green, but starting to turn.

The florida og look like they are done.

some strains tend to ripen a few days early under good LED lighting, but not by 2 weeks, more like 3-5 days is seen often. I've seen about a 3 day difference. You'd be amazed how fast ripen advances in the last week or so of flower if you examine buds daily

Perhaps it's simply a freak pheno?

I am contemplating lining my lights with four blue qb11s each for extra blue during veg at a low setting and maybe flashing them on high for a small period of the day during flower. Anyone have any experience playing with this?

I read somewhere that blue is good in the last 2 weeks for increased potency.
Buggered if I know if it is true.

4000k QB is the hidden gem of the spectrum.
It has plenty of blue and is close to the color if high noon sun. Blue does help with veg / node ( strain dependent) but find the 3000k and the 3500k does extremely well with veg.

More red does increase some stretch but it is negligible. I contemplated running ROYAL BLUE monos at one point but after running various grows under 3500k ( single spectrum ) and 3000k ( single spectrum ) ... meaning all boards same color i found it was too close to call. However adding the 4000k to the 3000k rig pretty much mimics a full 3500.

Adding a single 4000k ( 288 / 304 ) will work beautifully.

Im trying to find some quantum board 120s, are they out? They don't have them on the website, it refers to Amazon, but I can't find them on Amazon either, also cant find any 132s....

I guess they can be out of stock, but why can't i even find them on Amazon?
