I hate to change the subject and possibly end an exhausted argument, but is there anyone growing out any GPS with HLG QB’s?

Curious how they grow/stretch under those LED’s.

i run a qb600h. just used it for the first time and am impressed for sure. it's over a 4x4 area so i dial it down to ~510-550w or so at the most. i just finished flowering a cookies n chem female which you can find pictures of by going through my post history.

it's 3000k so the plants weren't super compact, but they weren't lanky by any means. was my first time growing the cookies n chem so i don't have a comparison on that one, but the rainbow jones cuts i had in there with it i have grown a few times before and they stretched a bit less than under hps, but not by a lot.

pros:
- efficiency
- great PAR
- versatile (potentiometer)
- lower power (than hid)
- lower heat as a result

cons:
- requires a lot of headroom to really crank up (had foxtailing from a plant at ~20 inches)
- requires a lot of headroom to achieve proper coverage (this light is literally the reason i bought a gorilla tent. needed as much height as i could fit in the room which is 9 ft with about 10 inches to the ceiling after that)
- expensive(i had mine assembled and tested and also had a potentiometer added. was ~$800USD after shipping to canada)
- not really a 'con' but it's quite heavy

Nice plant!



So I was doing some research on measuring colloidal silver ppm. There seems to be a few ways. One being where you can add table salt to water, add your CS, and a white cloud should form where the silver particles are actually binding to the HCI. Here is a link to the article and other techniques for measuring your colloidal silver solution

A tds meter will get u close.a red laser is the best way,will get you over 40ppm and that's all you need

Serious ?
Germ methods if ok to ask ?

I second the popping the old beans...they won't do you any good just sitting there. Sand paper in a match box or pill bottle and shake the beans in it to thin the hull. A little peroxide in the water you germ them in. If they don't pop after 24hrs you might even take a razor knife and score the seam of the hull. I've seen some decent threads on popping old beans...i got gifted some beans from the 70s and 80s recently from an old toker. He said he only kept beans from the good stuff.

which other breeders have you tried which you could recommend?

A big fan of the subcool TGA genetics. The flavors, the consistency. The smell just beautiful. Can't say enough about them.

Brothers Grimm have always produced strong, delicious buds for us. Old school, consistent, a long history of doing it right with these guys.

DNA genetics, Serious Seeds, Chimara have produced some gorgeous plants.


There are also some that are no longer in business. Have been ordering seeds online since the late 90s. Many companies over the years plus loads of freebies. Don't remember them all to be honest.

Very nice.

I managed to kill an entire pack worth of OBS seedlings with my bumble-fuckery at the start of the season (outdoor). Hoping to try again another time...was really looking forward to that one.

OBS #2, 28 days since flip. Smelling like tart tangerine juice.

Two running, both orangey, sorry for the garbage pic...at day 30 now

gotta say that subcool's shit is cool if you want to grow plants that are poorly structured and yield shit or smoke weed that has subpar potency with good flavor

not many people would recommend TGA gear in the states.... must be Canadian.

Thanks for your deeply reasoned and experienced opinion, newbie. The sandbox is that way ->

Best plants I’ve ever grown were grown under QB fixtures. I just harvested 2 jelly Pie phenotypes and 2 Boom Town phenotypes. Right around 2x stretch from day 1 of the flip. Keep the light intensity right around 800 PPFD at the canopy and the plants will stack just right

actually for me, some of the best beans came from homeade crosses from generous folks here and there, but I bought, gifted and traded a shitton.
