Close up 9 pound Swiss red n blue
Interesting. I know my main light has pretty good red and far red footprint. Is your lighting bought or do-it-yourself?
Yup I built my own light's.
This particular light array will accommodate 6 lights and they could be the CMH 315 or they could be HPS or metal halide all the sockets are for those. I like to build lights. I build a lot of different crap.
I have far red LEDs to add to my lights. I use them last spring outside when I first built this light.
The more Red Spectrum tells the plant or plants really doesn't matter what kind of plant it is cannabis or whatever the Red Spectrum tells the plant that it's being shaded and that it needs to get to the light so it'll throw more leaves so it'll grow longer stems it'll create more Bud sites it tells the plant that it needs to survive and so it throws out more of everything so they can collect more light. That makes sense to you guys?
I study a professor that is funded by NASA now for about 30 something years like 37 years something like that he's the guy that is creating aeroponic sustainable food system for the Mars Lander. Dr Bruce Bugbee of Utah State University and he's the CEO of a Apogee Industries.
The doctor's been doing plant biology for like 44 years or something like that long-ass time anyways. And he's got some videos on YouTube. Y'all should check them out. you can find them under Apogee Instruments Inc. The doctor is doing 1000's of tests with cannabis (how to grow it and light is one of his Passions ) Since Utah State University is one of the few of universities that has Federal funding to test cannabis how to grow it what it's good for many things. But he's got some extensive tests.
But unfortunately since this covid-19 jumped off he hasn't posted any videos so the newest ones like nine months old.
But everything he's doing is extremely relevant to this industry and that everybody who grows inside and outside cannabis should and actually pay attention to what this man's doing and his team of grads undergrads and fellow professors around the world.
Sad about DinafemThe blue showed less chlorosis in the veins compared to the red. I'm guess the extra red reduced flower time but the red also looks to have denser trichs. Can't tell from the pics but the internodal distance looks slightly shorter.
I forgot what you said the spectrums were but that is a great example of the effects of light spectrum on photobiology. Curious to what would occur with added 660/730s on the blue heavy spectrum on relation to trichomes, terpenes, and biomass.
Always love seeing stuff like this. Most lights can grow weed but the red heavy was much more desirable looking than the blue. I've seen some growers going down to 2700k for flower with very nice results.
What is the smell like? Difference in oils or resins based on touch?
@Waira A bit in agreement about Dinafem. The Original Amnesia/Super Silver didn't live up to the marketing hype for me . I bet GTG could do some impressive work Ace's stuff
Light on the right is 30k the left 40k.
Not a big diff...But... U can see the difference.
30k more red bud's
40k light more blue
