Anyone have an opinion on 24/7 or 18/6 for rooting clones? Which is better and why or doesn't it matter?

Latest stuff in the new More to come soon.

Very cool info! I've also been thinking about adding these bulbs. What kind of meter cost 6k! I would be interested in this meter. I'm also curious how many I would need for 17x17 grow. Also wondering if I should run in both veg and flower and for how long?

Fighting it now. Thought of everything. Uvc light, ozone, actinovate, serenade, aspirin, h202, pm wash, green cure, neem oil, sm-90, raw milk & water, silica or 10 ph, 4 ph foliar spray you name it. So far I'm keeping it from spreading in flower and I've kept it away from veg altogether. So...

CMH= Ceramic Metal Halide. It's said it outperforms watt for watt any other lighting to date. That's just others opinion though. In the future I plan to try em out in conjunction with DE or LEP (Light Emitting Plasma). The spectrum on the CMH are awesome.

Also on my new room I want to use hps and CMH mix of lighting to hopefully achieve better yields, flowering times, terpene & cannabinoid levels and overall better growth. Not sure if I'll get all those but I'm doing a lot of research on the subject currently.

I would keep it at 11/13. Doc. Who recommended it to me and others. I'm going to switch to 11/13 in a week and my plants are in week 4. You should finish with 11/13 then take some of the same strains and do those 12/12 and see if you notice a difference in yield, quality and flowering time.

To those who leave plants in the dark for 48 hours then start 12/12 would you consider day 1 the start of 48 hours darkness? I have never "flipped" using this method. To those who do did you notice quicker flowering growth?

Here's from a recent harvest. I couldn't find pictures from the finished bud. Pictured is 5 white russians (ak-47xwhite widow). I'm happy with the results but I'm convinced that I haven't grown this strain to it's full potential yet! This is also the first and only strain I've had tested. My...

Hey Doc Care to elaborate on the subject of foxtailing? I had a frankenberry strain that did this after my 2nd time flowering the strain. The first time it did not but as peak summer conditions grew so did the heat in my room! Can higher temps force the genetics of the plant to be more...

Very cool! I'm going to check it out! They are probably expensive! The more I read about em though the more it seems using HPS & CDM or DE & CDM separately in the same room are ultimately the better option. I know the whole 1 bulb, 1 ballast 1 hood deal having a dual bulb but if the up front...

Been waiting to respond for a while after doing research into tons of different lighting options! WHEW! I like very much what I see with the hortilux super blue 1000w hps mh dual arc bulb. I believe this is the bulb you were referring to that includes vast amounts of blue spectrum compared to...

Stay dillegent my friend! Report back again I'd like to see how ya do.

So DE>HPS & CDM>DE. How do you feel about a combination of both DE & CDM? Also I'm curious if LED and LEP will ever catch up to HPS, DE or CDM. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this and real world examples in play. I'm preparing to start a new setup soon (30x20x10 flower) and...

Well besides the floor the rest would be insulated and heated. I figured insulating the floor would be overkill. So drylock is the ideal choice then I suppose.
