Ready For The Boom:)

Feeling perplexed again. So the reddish color on the new growth is gone now that I have the MH back on and the LEDs out. However, the pale centers on the tops is back that I wondered about last time I ran MH is there. May not be a big deal, I've seen it on some other growers stuff. The thing is, once they've hit Bloom, that paleness in the centers goes away within a week. These things drive me nuts.

Cool did you do detailed research on adding in the uv. Assuming it's for trich development as that's what one of their main purposes are. Curious. You going for winter in July? :blsmoke:

Yeah, I'm not sure if they are remotely close enough, but I don't want to UV burn anything. Just hopefully enough to get the plants to pump a little extra resin for UV protection, but not stress it. I have it set all 12 hours. If I did higher intensity I would just do peak UV hours like 2-3 hours each side of center of my light cycle, "high noon".

I've read about it in a few books, and seen videos. A better application would be tube style flouros, or a ceramic metal halide probably.

Nice yeah blasting them at high noon would be pretty cool. It would have to be really dialed in tho and every strain would be different so you'd need to take cuttings from a mother prolly until you found the max threshold. Also yeah cmh lights do it on their own but I don't think it would be as awesome as a separate bulb. Kind of want to try but things are going too well for me to burn my only plants on my first go hahaha. Maybe next time!
 
Topped all my clones except for the really recent ones still under the T5 adjusting from transplant.

Culled the Sweet Skunk. It looked like complete shit.

Started training the KushBerry's and the SB3 clone.

Ordered a new PH pen, accidentally dropped mine into my 1/2 gallon nute water... :shock:
 
I made an observation of my latest Bloom gals. I used pure Sunshine Advanced #4, and only loaded it with 500ppm of nutes at transplant/flip. I did that after my overfeed I did with the last two. But these lagged a bit, then they got plain water, then hit with 600 ppm and at that point they surged. So I'd say I underfed at the transition.

I won't be using this info though, all future transplants will have new soil blend.
