OT:

BTW, HG, I notice your leds. I like to use Screw-in leds for my veg. I recently read that there are SIL bulbs now with 160 lumens per watt. They are made by a Euro company called V-Tac Evolution. I would only be interested in the 4000k, which are always sold out when I check. Here is the page, just in case you might not have heard of them and are curious. I could cut my veg wattage by almost a third if I could get my hand on some of these. They have plenty of 3000k in stock.

Thanks Snowback.
I actually use SILs for everything, mostly the Costco ones. ~10w 5000k for veg, ~15w 3000k for flower and consistently harvest well over 1gr/w.

Also, my mom cabinet usually only has one 10w 5000k, though I can add a few more if required. SILs are a small scale growers best friend, imo.

Yeah, they are great. It's nice how they can be modded so easily. In winter, for example, I take some of them out and add in halogens for extra heat. I also sometimes mix in CFLs if I want to ease in a fresh transplant. You can change your spectrum anytime you want by changing out bulb types. They are a very useful tool to have in the grow-box. These new 160 lumens/watt models are going to be great once they become more widely circulated. Most of our current SILs only have about 100-110 lumens per watt.

Probably chop anytime on personal preference, some plants I have seen will 30% amber and about the same clear. Other plants will show most all cloudy. Others transition quickly from clear to amber with little time in cloudy stage.

Only 1 of my 3 kushberries looks like it will go longer than 56 days. The other two are starting to show the first signs of slowing down at just under 6 weeks. Seems like it might generally be a relatively quick-finishing variety. The 3rd one looks like it will need possibly quite a while longer, but it's massive!
