Also the mystery seed came from some overripened dead bud I got from a friend but I think it may be from the gelato family but He abused the shit out of it and harvested way way way to late bottom buds where falling off and trichomes where a dark brown by time he harvested but me and another buddy wanted to give it a second chance to redeem itself and I'm starting to think that it may be genetically comprised

I'm not worried about super big buds I'm after trich production and the reason I'm using coffee is because of its nitrogen content which has been used on peppers for thousand of years that's why my grandfather even used coffee in his garden when I was a child people aren't just starting to use it it's been used for a very long time it's one of the best sources of nitrogen and scientific studies have been done that plants respond positively to caffeine so I can get the same thing in a amended super soil and building water soluble feed (tea compound) that I can get in a bottle of some big brand by using a little knowledge and alchemy or chemistry whatever word you prefer to use then I'm going to i haven't seen bad results so why would I stop I'm not ignorant to what I'm doing I do have knowledge of nutrients and minerals and where to find them and which ones are water soluble l

Though I don’t do it for it’s caffeine content, nor it’s nitrogen, I do give my worms coffee grounds as a snack, so in theory if you have worms in your bed, they wouldn’t mind that coffee ;) might make them poop more

42-43 percent is the absolute most I would do at twelve and I'd still watch it daily if you don't have time to take out of your day to watch em and make small adjustments just set it to around 33-36%

Thats where I have dimmer at. I ordered a light meter and I will get that working when I get it.

The math says at 42.67% your putting out 185 watts per sq.meter witch is perfectly safe at twelve inches if you use the 45-65 actual watts to a square foot rule you and apply that to learn your cubic foot to know the optimal height from your canopy plus spread but the algorithm is a cubed algorithm not a funnel so the answer is always a little high so play it safe and round down not up

That's still fine the equation isn't meant for many plants it's meant for overall coverage you figure your watts per square foot turn it cubed stack them like a pyramid your par with that wattage at point blank cut it in half and ad a 3rd of the dividend back to the center cubes on that tier like the ones metaphorically directly under the light and keep doing that to each tier and you'll get your par for your distance at point blank 185 watts of led is around 980 to 1400 depending on brand of led and driver so at twelve inches your right around low 800 high 600 your perfectly safe
