Hey All,
Okay so, I have been slowly putting together a new space for myself. Working towards RDWC. Until I can get some remodeling done, it's back to basics with soil and air pots. Okay, so here are the basics:
Stage: Week 5 of Flower
Strain: Sunday Driver
Veg. Light: Fluence VyperX
Flower Light: Fluence Spyder2i
Room Temp: 85F
RH: 55-60%
VPD: ~1.19
C02: 1300ppm
Had the plants fishtailing a little through early veg. They went from below sea level to +5k feet, from a T5 to the VyperX, there was a Thanksgiving day massacre performed by some inlaws(they fried the plants with too much EC in the nutrient solution). The biggest problem I have right now is that I can't seem to keep up with the increased N demand.
Onto the LIGHT!
I have several Ray Series lights that I just got around to unboxing and setting up. But a thought came to me... If I start introducing new spectra of light into my light recipe right now, can I screw up the flowering process?
Here's what I want to add:
Ray Series AnthoSpec: 430-480nm & 630-680nm
Anthospec helps increase anthocyanin production. Anthocyanins help produce flavinoids and protect plant from the harmful effects of UV light. These would run in unison with the Spyder2i for the duration of the photoperiod.
Ray Series UV Spec: 360-400nm
Plants use trichromes to defract and protect itself from UV light. Sparse use of UV can stimulate increased trichrome and terpene production in cannabis. Starting with 5 minute increments, and working my way to a maximum of 1 hour a day, I plan to turn on the UV spec midway through the photoperiod.
Ray Series PFR Spec: 730nm
Plan on using at the end of the photoperiod to help plant recover. Also, people have played around with being able to INCREASE the amount of time a plant can receive light and still be "in flower". I'm too scared to play around with the latter, but I'm all for my plants being able to rest... more efficiently?
Anyways, if you made it this far down, thanks for your time and consideration.
Best,
Blunk
