Lighting Recipes & Usage

Yes I am. I have their Raging Kale, which has limited tuning compared to their others. Right now I'm flowering a plant with it, and its mainly a veg light. It does a great job on the veg portion, I am not convinced on the flower power yet, but theres still a month or so until it should be done.
 
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?
That was an interesting afternoon read, thanks for posting it. One message potentially useful for us indoor growers of autos is that results suggest that initiation of flowering may be the time that cannabis increased yield responds to higher illumination. Preliminary suggestion, but perhaps we need to ramp up to full illumination earlier than I thought.
 
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.View attachment 1297821
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
View attachment 1297826View attachment 1297827View attachment 1297828

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 downloaded and looked at that file, its a screenshot of the fluence Vimeo page.
maybe try getting on Vimeo and searching Fluence

Hey man thanks that's the shit right there this is stuff I already pretty much knew this and it just proved many of my theories already that I have thought about using the far red and deep blue in the beginning and the end...
yeah I'm on that point already..... very good... very good.... thanks for the video I appreciate that very much.
I probably would have got around to it eventually as I'm busy as hell right now but I watched about three-quarters of this video and hell yeah it's the best shit... it'll be great for people who don't understand or have not dabbled with light yet...
Keep videos like this coming..it's definitely going to help a lot of folks on this forum that haven't seen or don't understand what light can do and how to perform Light Recipes. In my personal opinion it's really about the strain... not every single strain of cannabis plant reacts exactly the same to the photons that it's given. So with what we know now and what this video here is already helped me and will help others... I'm sure will we can work on Light Recipes for strain. Thanks again this video. It is awesome and I hope to see more.
P.S.
Not just from Florence but from a broad spectrum of scientist and people who are working with light recipes that publish their work
:cheers::pass:
 
Okay.

So I watched the presentation, I did not listen to the discussion.

This leads me to think- I do not need to add uv lighting to my gavita, it will only HURT my crop.

Far red can be good, but if I have a good light, it doesn't really matter and it an unneeded complication?

Is this what everyone else got from that?
