No, they looked like immature seeds. There was only one banana on the whole plant and only one male flower. Next time you flower, take a real close look at the inside of a calyx and on the very bottom inside the calyx, still attached to the hair you will find the ovule. This IS the seed...

I think I had it going for about 2 months before flipping to 12/12. Had it real nice and bonzai'd to a bush so that it had all those colas, but they got really heavy and tipped over towards flush. Wasn't able to get a good flush in. On the positive side, I found out that it didn't get seeded...

Ahhhhhh, only problem is, I'm not a dude!!!! That plant I harvested wasn't finished under T5 lighting though. If you would read carefully you would have seen that it was under a sodium light. And yeah, it was almost a LB! 11 oz. so roughly 3/4 LB!! Close. Weird, didn't you see the picture...

........Are they the new Spectras that have no glass installed in them?........ Sorry...... if you said already.......those Spectras are bad ass yo!!!!!!!!!!!.....

You do know that you have to introduce the light slowly to a small plant right? Maybe try starting your seedlings under lower powered T5's or CFL's to get them established......then slowly introduce the high powered LED's. Plants don't like abrupt changes and intense light when they don't need...

You can also get a phosphorus deficiency when the plant is root bound or over watered. I always try to transplant right before flipping the light to 12/12. Don't always assume that your deficiency is related to the amount of ferts you are giving. Usually a fert deficiency is going to show up...

Holy crap!!!!!!! A pound off of only 1 plant under a T5???? I think I would have to see that to believe, I really doubt that it's even possible unless you were using a VHO fixture. Are you sure you weren't measuring in ounce????

Maybe they are getting rattled around more than necessary in transit? UPS does like to play kickball with the packages ya know? They shouldn't get hot, you need a fan on them T5's to keep em cool. You know on those expensive ATI fixtures they come with cooling fans built in. Those would be a...

You sure you don't have thrips? Do you use way more fertilizer than neccessary?

That's so cool that you say this because I just moved a plant from HPS to T5 and the plant really responded nicely. I am about to flip to 12/12 under the T5. Here is the bulb combo I'm using for flower now, 4 Flora Sun, 2 Fiji Purple, 2 Red Sun. So far so good. Can't wait to get some tasty...

Post a photo! Worth a thousands word!

That really looks like some tasty medical shiznit B. What strain do you got there if you know?

NO. The Y-axis is only to show how the peak intensities relate to each other not the overall brightness of the bulb. The reason why no one is using the same vertical measurement is because it is totally irrelevant. I hope I don't have to explain this again. These bulb graphs are only meant...

Check this out guys. The verticle measurement on these graphs really don't mean much. The graph is only a representation of how the different wavelengths compare as in the ratio of blue to green to red. When I was doing the measurement for the Fiji Purple bulb the graph would shrink and grow...

I would also like to add that even though the 4ft T5 bulbs emit 54 watts or whatever of light, they are not emitting from a single point light source like HPS bulbs do. Therefore the intensity is going to be much much less. The light is spread out across a 4ft area. Moving the plants closer...

I like the fact that the Fiji is an actinic/blue mixture. One less bulb to have to add (blue bulb). I think a good flower mixture would be something like 2 Fiji, 4 Flora Sun and 2 Red Sun. Keep your Fiji's man don't sweat it.

I didn't have a reason to, although it did cross my mind. It was hard enough just to get the one graph. He is an extremely busy guy! The spectrometer is a really simple instrument. Small box that attaches to a computer on one side and a fiber optic sensor on the other. The sensor looks like...

My old physics teacher uses a spectrometer in his lab. The readings above 740nm is just noise so you can ignore that. So basically it is an actinic/blue light with a touch of red. No 660nm though.

Did the spectral analysis for the Fiji Purple today. Here it is finally! Enjoy,

It sure seems like it! I've taken the Blue Plus back out now, 4 hours later the leaves are reaching up again. I sure don't get this, I thought the added blue light would make them grow even faster. It really must be the strain because this particular one can't get enough of the 50/50.
