Lighting Recipes & Usage

I'm just glad you didn't say genetic drift lol. This time around I only took clones of everything to try out and made cloned mothers.

We have a thread around here on how to mix your own nutrients. I don't think it will be incredibly hard just initially time consuming. I still haven't found ideal NPK ratios but I don't know how much it matters entirely as I've seen success with many ratios. Scienceinhydroponics has a calculator and guides to replicating many commercial nutrients or even a basic Hoagland solution.

I'm fond of going organic for outdoor for my outdoor crops cause it makes sense but I'll keep my indoor canna in hydro for the foreseeable future lol.

Have you seen the lighting studies by Chandra?

There's a lot of Chandra.... Which one is relevant to growing or grow lighting? Or cannabis lighting..?

Next month I'll be buying a Apogee quantum light sensor.
I'm not sure yet which one. But one that can blue tooth with my phone. And as multi-functions.

Cannabis sativa L. - Botany and Biotechnology

This book highlights current Cannabis research: its botany, authentication, biotechnology, in vitro propagation, chemistry, cannabinoids biosynthesis, metabolomics, genomics, biomass production, quality control, and pharmacology. Cannabis sativa L. (Family: Cannabaceae) is one of the oldest...

Not sure which direction I want to go with the PAR meter, on my long list of projects for my short amount of money lol

No I 've not read this book. But I've got and have read many. I'll smoke this one over. It's going to take a minute or 2 LoL

Here have read this?

I have not but I'm going to enjoy it lol. Thank you

@Growtogrow GrowlightAustralia.com is selling 4000k/660/730 intra/side lighting that is IP65 and has lens diffusers so plants don't burn.

I'm sorry


I don't have a home computer either and only work from my 2015 LG stylo phone or smart tv.

The links you reference are on tomato growing.
That's irrelevant information to cannabis and hemp growing.
Thanks but
Sorry I'm not here to grow tomatoes.

All that information has no real bearing on cannabis or hemp growing. Also it's all old information..
Also many of the authors wer student of Dr Bruce Bugbee and some of them are doing cannabis test right now currently in real time.

So you have not studied yet the information I gave you months ago ? About dr. Bruce Bugbee and Utah State University and Apogee Industries and all the current and relative information and up to date testing on cannabis and hemp exclusively??

Thanks for inviting me.
I appreciate it..

Check out Fluence, they have just recently released information about the effects of UV

8 Groundbreaking Insights from the latest research on Light Spectra for Cannabis

Cannabis is a unique plant to study from a photo-biological perspective, because it can take on more light than most commercial crops with almost no ill effects. In fact, because cannabis produces more of its valuable commodities when it is pushed to its limits, our team recently discussed a...

Thanks for bringing me back to this thread..as it has been a long time since I've read this and I have done couple of Lights studies of my own since then with significant outcomes between more blue Spectrum in flower and more red in flower. Where My outcome with a 31k CMH bulb over a 9lb Swiss clone resulted in 34 more grams of product versus The Identical 9 lb Swiss clone under a 42k bulb in flowering. Where these clones were grown under exact same conditions exact same soil exact same fiber pots exact same water. Where everything was exactly the same except for one difference when I started flowering them.... one was underneath the 31k bulb from the start of flower to harvest and the other one was under a 42k bulb from the start of flowering to harvest.

The test is not conclusive nor is it a scientific test but it was just my own conclusion and it was pretty significant to me.

More red

Where the more bluelight had a little more color a little more flavor and the buds were a little more dense. As where the red light had little bit fluffier buds just a little bit less flavor and a little bit less color... but a significant amount more in Final ready to use product....
As in a small grow and I didn't put anything extra to it no CO2 I grow organically is soil was my own organic blend there's no RO water so you know there's a lot of things that I could have done to increase all of this but I grow inside on the ho hum. I grow outside with vengeance and diligence as the sun is my God and the plants obey the Sun. This coming fall I'll do more tests as I have far red LEDs and many clones to work with. It's important to have clones from the same donating plant and it's also good to know what this plant runs like before you ever start a test like this. When I do test I will divide the room up so there is no photon Drift from either side. This will help me to conclude a better test in my mind to be more specific and accurate.

Thanks for the information. I read everything if they had to offer this morning. And there was really nothing in there telling me how they did their tests or to what end I became or how I could do my own lighting. As it was a commercial for selling their commercial LEDs. And not giving me free or even paid for knowledge of what I'm doing or what they're doing for instance. Only that they're working with this light spectrum of that light spectrum they're not telling me what they're doing or how they're doing it again it was a sales pitch. And that's why I liked working with Dr. Bruce Bugbee. His information is free and very relevant very informative. really the only thing he's trying to sell on the side is those Apogee inc. Quantum light sensing devices. Very fine device. I've spent too much money to get one right now. But maybe this fall I'll be able to pick one up and I'll build a light and have better idea of what I'm talking about when it comes to light density in my grow. As his Quantum sensors they start around 700 $800 to get one that's bottom mid-grade line.

Thanks pal

My thoughts exactly! I didn't gain nor could I glean anything relevant from their research. It was marketing spin imo. It's a shame I don't speak Dutch to go through all their photobiology research and work with different spectrums

Hey buddy how you doing hope all is good in your neck of the woods.

Hey maybe you could change the name of this thread and make it so we can use this thread as our light testing thread as we spoke about earlier.
This one's already got a good start and we can work out of this one pretty good I think. I'll add to it with what I know about what my tests were.. if that sounds good to you?
I'm not going to do any tests right away though. I'm busy as hell right now and getting ready to take off and do a lot of things between now and the end of June. At that point I might have a breath to take for 6 weeks or so. But I have a lot to do this summer so most likely I won't get a chance to do any real test until fall. Where my input will be relevant and more devoted to such a thread. As I'm all over the place right now LOL for the lack of a better term.

I can't edit the title for it unfortunately. I do like the idea to though.

Not sure when I'll have time to get started but I think @Filthy_Casual is using a ScynceLED light with spectrum tuning
