Now, I am as stubborn as a mule, and it took me a long time to accept this, but........... forget PPFD etc with that many watts of cobs and autos. In my opinion, you can do MUCH MORE harm to plants, yield, etc if cobs are too low, instead of too high. If your cobs are less than 1 metre away from plants you will have enough light IMO. For AUTOS. I know it goes against everything we "understand" as humans, but I honestly believe this is true with cobs and autos. Don't bother with lenses, keep cobs up high (higher than you think) and leave them there. I think cobs are PERFECT for fairly high level global lighting. Thats what they were designed for I believe? Its because they have phenomenal reach / penetration. The opposite to traditional lighting.[/QUOTE]I will try answer it in news mode..its lot easier for me.. its not so much in doing party drugs or partying ,buts its recovery . When I was younger it took me a day of beeing f up (next day of course) but now Its 2-3 days.. And people who past 30y have much responsibilities in their life, so I cant afford to be sick.. my drug was RAVE plus Ecstasy , later that whole scene died, and it was speed when your going out plus alcohol.. I did LSD (best drug ever) and coke few time (I'm too poor for doing coke and quality is too low for that price)
you see this is best advice I have ever got.. I will get them at 70 cm soon as the light come on.. Hate this 12/12 shit.. plus we Balkans are cheap and petty as F.. so I chase cheaper el. (22-07h) and I must wait evening everyday to have a look at them.. God I miss my autos and 4h of dark.. i'm sure that light too low is the reason i have orange pistils so soon..
[/QUOTE]What color temperature are you cobs mate? 3500k? You have to be careful at seedling stage as there is quite a bit of red in anything 3500k or less. This can def cause stretch in seedlings. I have stretched loads of plants with 3500k cobs. So I now use a T5 6700k light for first couple of weeks. Then under 3500k cobs. The first two weeks under 6700k seems to set the plants to grow a certain way, opposite to if I start them under 3500k cobs.[/QUOTE]
citizen are 3500 and cree are 3000k.. And I have feeling that plants/autos are doing so much better under cre.And citizen are 90 cri..
Those lanky seedlings are under citizen single cob plus angelina reflector.. Funny thin when they get bigger they get normal.. I have few pics on my IG..
[/QUOTE]How do you water them when they are like 0-3 weeks old mate? I think over watering at that stage also has a critical effect on plant size due to root ball size.[/QUOTE]
F.. me If I remember.. But i know that i don't suffocate them with water..
[/QUOTE]From what I have read, PH Perfect nutes can only do so much. I used to use them and assume they would be able to buffer everything I threw in the mix. But remember you are throwing in a lot of additives so it is totally possible that the nutes can no longer keep within the optimal range any longer?[/QUOTE]
I'm using whole hobbist level, all are their nutes and all are in normal feeding schedule..So I doubt its that.. I'm planing to go on big plant science coz I negotiated dope deal with them.. Sometimes is good to live in god's ass+ole..
[/QUOTE]Thanks for realising I just wanna help a fellow gardener mate! I am not an arse, and I have learned a lot from my own mistakes!! Often done more than once!
You know I actually think that NOT keeping a record and NOT having a strict regime is a good way to learn. I did a "blind" grow with no PH, no EC measurement, no temperature or RH etc. I learned soooo much as my only choice was to watch the plants and learn what their reaction to what I do means!
When I say I learned a lot, I can only say I now know more than I did before, that's all.
Keep up the awesome growing dude, you have some lovely plants that are making amazing buds for you to smoke [/QUOTE]
my frickin burned out brain is main problem.. When I think I learned something later I forget it..like seedlings, I always f something up or have a rough start.I should have a perpetual grow of planting every week one seed for my brain to get it right once for all -Or I should do dummy step by step log of everything I do, but everything..
saddest thing is that everything seems to be fine, no major problems but yield missing.. Its more frustrating then before when i have shitload of problems but always got 2ozs by plants..That my norm everything under 2oz (50 grams) per plant is mayor Fail for me..
For your contribution.. I havent write some much on this forum for ages.. [/QUOTE]
Haha free raver from the 90s here mate! MDMA and DMT for me please
Keep the coke, we have a "history" together
Mate you Balkans are cool! Much better than the miserable, lazy, unimaginative folk around here.
70cm sounds good man. Personally that is the sweet spot for me and cobs. 60cm in full on flower maybe, but they don't need it. Remember the light is global, its EVERYWHERE with cobs. Literally your tent is a light box.
I hated 12/12 at first but now I love it! My tent had never been O until I got photoperiods, so the 12 hours dark is like a holiday where I can actually sleep!
Watering sounds spot on. Don't drown the buggers.
When I used AN PH perfect I loved it in veg stage. But a lot of the time I ran into trouble in flowering with all the additives you need. I refer a feed with everything in it if possible.
Brain issues - did you know that its a myth that weed f*cks up your memory. I learned recently that you don't forget stuff on weed. What actually happens is your brain DOESN'T BOTHER TO REGISTER INFORMATION in the first place!! It just ignores it so you don't even get a chance to try and remember it!!
Also listen to Sir Ryker and get yourself some Tabs dude
Don't let the yield get you down mate. Better to have 40g of homegrown fire bud than 100g of street shit nastiness
