Don't really know about LEDs. Maybe some will pipe in. I'm in the learning stage with those lamps. I'm just trying to read the plants and see what they can handle. I've not burnt the plants up ....yet..lol.
I see I'm not the only one that overthinks stuff. I've got two 600W HPS/MH lights in a cool tube that I run. I use two two bulb four foot lights in the front and back of my SCROG. They come on a half hour before the main lights (trying to simulate sunrise) and go off a half hour after the mains go off to simulate dusk. Got a pretty good haul outta the last run, but not near as big as Mama Nature does outside.So I started using all three light buttons for the first 8 hours. Then turn off the veg button for the last 4 hours. To me it simulates the afternoon sun. When it is more shaded outside. I figured I would give it s try. My female I sprayed with colloidal silver is growing balls and pistils. I washed my other female which should be pollinated by now and put her back with the others. Moved the one I am trying to make fems with to Isolation and added another light. View attachment 349795
No but I will do some you tube-in on this method. This sounds like something I can handle. ThanksHey Jan... got the new light eh? well good luck. I start out around 24 to 30" above the plants at 75% power.. after a week if no signs of stress, lower it down to 20, then down to 18".. Some run them right down on the plants really late in flower.. for now, 24 to 18" ...
I really think you should run it on Veg until you see hairs, then run both cycles for 2wks, then flip to flowering...
Your plants look great, healthy and the bottoms are really beginning to wake up. Do you know about FIM cutting Jan? You simply gather up the top of the plant and cut it all that leaf material in half... as the plant mends this area it sends it's growing energy towards other parts of the plant for a few weeks allowing the bottom branches to fill in better... you can then FIM cut each growing shoot to get the branches to fill out..
I cannot wait to see how your projects come along with the fem seed making... go gettem girl..
I have seen a friend top and up pot them with great results.....Ok fim training is the same as topping. These are autos. I do not top autos.
Don't fret bro.. this is my home and your never getting rid of me. Carty deals with depression during the holidays caused by my screwed up selfish family.. never hear from anyone, 4 siblings, Dad... nobody has anything to do with us because of us being disabled... and it gets to me every year...Where is Carty, I dont think he loves us like he use too..........
Oh Carty where you be .

Not True on both cases, sorry Jan. FIM cutting is NOT topping...Ok fim training is the same as topping. These are autos. I do not top autos.
Was it me.... hahahahaI have seen a friend top and up pot them with great results.....
I saw it with me own eyes .....
YouTube, I love that place.. talk about a resource for almost everything huh? I'm teaching myself acrylic painting watching teachers on youtube. One does step by step almost a 2hr painting...No but I will do some you tube-in on this method. This sounds like something I can handle. Thanks
