W5.Day.1(33)
While at the very beginning of flowering, I turned off the lower lighting of 72 watts and 88 watts LED strips, but will do so again once the sprouts grow enough through the LED strips.
W5.Day.2(34)
I am directing the secondary colas to their planned growth areas and have started bending the main cola to limit its height.
W5.Day.3(35)
I turned on 72 watt of bottom light. Current packet is 328 watt/0.36 m2 or 911 watt per sq.m.
W5.Day.5(37)
With this tower structure, it's very convenient to shape the growth direction of each individual cola.
W5.Day.7(39)
Week's Summary:
- The flowering started only at the end of the week, not at the beginning as I had anticipated.
- I can't keep the lighting on continuously due to high external temperatures; I turn it on during cool evenings and mornings.
I like the craftiness 👍! I have made good experiences with Scr.o.G ing and lights under the canopy. Would only add them in flower though, I had added somewhere around 90w at 30 cm distance on a lollipopped plant. No fluff or popcorn buds anywhere to be found.
@@MyDearDiary, always a pleasure, but again, it’s mostly about the individuals preferences. I just wanted to highlight to you that from my perspective there should be no issues to start carefully removing old leaves, without worrying that you’ll stunt your plant. The more you grow the better you’ll be able to read your plants. Seems like the curiosity is there already ;) any other questions, you can always DM me directly, if I can, I’m always happy to help.
@Salokin, Thank you very much for this article
It seems that in a home setting, it's quite challenging to determine the photosynthetic activity of leaves and identify the moment it decreases. Making such decisions should be based on experience and the age of the plant and its individual leaves. I would be happy to conduct a series of studies.
Is there a university somewhere that studies marijuana growth? 😇
@@MyDearDiary, hey growmie, I read this a while back, which was studied on sativa plants and their leaf photosynthesis rate with age
“ Compared with the maximum estimated y-intercept value, Amax and Rd decreased by 50% and 75% after approximately 9 and 28 days (Figure 1 and Figure 2). Similarly, Ls and ϕCO2 decreased by 50% and 75% after approximately 8 and 22 days. Although photosynthetic capacity declined steadily after leaf full expansion, we note that the compensatory metabolic activity of Rd decreased.”

A wouldn’t deny that a mature leaf has a higher photosynthesis rate, however, as soon as maturity is reached the rate will go down, but also their metabolic consumption.
what is nice colour for your eyes, maybe far away from spectrum plant needs.
What ever cool leds you would use, they still heat up, that will play up with plant, because they touch each other.
output of such strip will make maybe brighter for your eye, but wont bring any countable result. through all strip its 10-15 W maybe, so what it brings ??? plus spectrum ;)))
i thought its one of photo contest attemps, but by your description - you are serious with it.
Hope it will work for you, but by pure math and facts - it should not.
All the Best !
@AsNoriu, The issue of temperature is not a concern for me, as I regularly use an infrared thermometer and make sure everything is within acceptable limits. Besides, the garland doesn't operate throughout the entire light day.
I treat this as a fun experiment.
