Looks awesome! What bloom nutes do you use to get such frosty flowers?

Mostly spectrum...UVB...:shock:

My outside is crazy frosty too with just old soil and dry ammendments..no other fertilizing.

But..inside using coco and perlite its totally dependant on regular feeding..

5ml biothrive grow
5ml biothrive bloom
1ml atami bloombastic...from day 1 flower
1ml floro +.....brings the ph down a little for the coco.
Lower the N and raise the P later in flower..

Works in soil..coco..whatever...:grin:

Keeps pretty much everything healthy...although my chocolope is showing a little deficiency on some leaves. Think I let the ec get a little high...or more k than she likes possibly locking out Ca. I just continue with one nutrient for all to keep it easy..

Looking good man. Showing what a little led power can do! Props. Was wondering if I could pick your brain a little? Do you think the extra 660nm is worth adding? I'm building a 3500k cxb3590 currently and noticed you have played with quite a mix of different spectrum. And if so would you use it all through flower or only at say peak flower? I will be using it solely for flowering. Also what about 630nm? I've also heard from many hid growers that the last 10 days to swap back to a mh for increased resin production and was wondering of incorporating a little blue I'm my fixture to help finish them off. What is your view on these ideas? You seem to have a great grasp of what works and what doesn't. Once again proper builds and proper buds bro.

Thanks for the kind words bro..

660nm...not necessary..I think uv is more necessary. But, I've done enough experiments of my own to prefer them in the mix...all the time. Even in veg...just prefer the growth I see. Think anyone whos run just white would be surprised what a good dose of 660nm can do.

630nm never did it for me...probably mostly because I've played with warm whites. Cooler kelvins would probably benefit more from 630nm.

I think any extra blue would just send foxtails and or extend finishing. Uv for a few hours all the time is where the sticky is at...not so much blue...imho.

OK - Good to know. The Hydro guy was pushing it hard. Looked like PK to me.

I still have a bunch of Mad Farmer MOAB I am using. I also picked up some purple PK crystals as a free sample at the cup.

I am also trying the AN Jungle Juice Bloom this run. I have had good luck with the Grow and Micro so I thought I would see what the Bloom can do.

Thanks for the info!

Cheers,
Mo

...a par meter... yeah expensive too to my eyes...

...on arduino way... yeah its not a par meter... maybe not too much accurate...

...im talking about TSL2561

...links are only for examples or ideas...

...Positivity ...looking or read when you like...

...on arduino way lot of diferent sensors...for some things... its an possible economic way...

...with time ... we can add differents sensors only for light theme...

...but maybe you can rent a good par meter too...

...anyway... with my best wishes for your proyects...
