New Grower A letter to Slater...what you did right and wrong at the start

[Ribbzzy]

The test has to be truly blind as well, that the tester / testers have no idea they are being tested. I did that for my flush test, had smoke sesh got one jar out, try this lads. Then got the other out, try that. Then asked which they want me to grow again.

That's really interesting, I think the sun has huge effect on terps due to a full spectrum. I think that's why LED COB grows are getting better terp profiles. They have wider spectrum that is closer to the sun. But there could be something in soil that effects terps as well, microbes and such... also the perception of the little of lady has to be considered, they have been around the block and set in there ways and know what they like in there tulip terp profile. When presented with a hydro and out door grown and told they will always pick the out door due to entrenched ideas.

I feel a Harry Hill, tv burp moment coming.
There's organic bud, and chem bud, whats the best?

And it's also about temps, above 25.5° first terps get lost and the hotter the less terps in the buds.

@TheMongol forgot to answer your pot size question... I will be growing in 12ltr pots (about 3 gallon in old money)

A journal is in the pipe line. @TheMongol has sent me some super soil for test a grow. Really looking forward to it, going to to do the coco / soil taste comparison test.

Sounds.good mate that stuff mongol is using looks like.its working good in veg so far

Yeah thats it man...lots of beginners don't have the skills or tools to build their own. I think for an absolute entry level a populargrow/galaxyhydro would be a fine light to get started. Are DIY cobs really that cheap to build? Less than $100 will get you up and running? Jeez maybe i should look closer into Diy cobs then!!

If you do look into cobs mate think about height I know you have space restrictions and the cobs can be pretty intense

that's when you have to think about drive current... 2 of my tents are 150cm so I'm super limited on height, I drive my cobs at 1050ma and 1400ma. This means I can get them a lot closer to the plants. In my 1050ma tent (the one seen on instagram) those plant are 8" from the light with no issue's. Under my 1400ma light its about 10-8" depending on the strain... strain does have a lot to do with it.

8" that's very close, but as you metioned it depends on the strain, had plants at 18" that rised up to the light their leaves and wanted more while others got droopy hanging the leaves down.

I am doing photo's at the moment and they can take lot more light... mind you g14 by fast buds is a photon hungry bitch, she just wanted to grow into my lights (the 1400ma one) with no issue's. Lapped up light like it was going out fashion. Not even a cal spot.
