LAST WATER 6/4 6/5 The sun has been relentless and has caused some bleaching and burns on some older leaves. It seems that the gmos ate having the hardest time (except one). It's been extremely hot though. It's overcast and we are supposed to have thunderstorms and a few more mild days. Plants loved tje water yesterday. I hope it does rain. Plants are growing and seem to be surviving. Burns are on old growth. If I notice more I'll put my back tarp up which will block the sun in the afternoon and put them in shade. I wish I had done that earlier. Oh well. With what these girls have encountered and overcome I think I'll be OK. EDIT: IT WAS IN THE 80'S TODAY. PROBABLY HIT 90. I HAD TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED AND WAS GONE EXPECTING IN THE MORNING THAT THE THUNDERSTORMS WOUKD START. INSTEAD WE HAD A VICIOUSLY SUNNY HOT DAY UNTIL 4PM. AT 4PM SHIT HIT THE FAN AND IT RAINED SO HARD I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE. I LIVE IN MAINE SO I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE IN INCLIMENT WEATHER. THIS WAS ANSOLUTE ZERO VISABILITY. I WANTED TO PUT A TARP UP TO SHIELD THE GIRLS FROM THE SUN BUT I WASNT ABLE TOO. WHEN I GOT TO THE GROW RIGHT BEFORE THE STORM IT HAD RAINED A LITTLE AND IT SMELLED SO GOOD. LIKE SOIL. I THINK THIS DOWNPOUR WILL REALLY HELP THE GIRLS. ONLY TIME WILL TELL. 6/6 Plants faired ok through the storm. The 3 earliest transplants and what WERE the nicest looking gmos are getting some burns and bleaching. It's all on old leaves though. I think they're pulling out of it and will grow through it. Some plants seem to not be stressed at all. With tje elements being the way they have I'm suprised they aren't far worse. I was going to put up my back tarp to block sunlight later in the day but I didn't. The burns are on the other sides of the plants and it's supposed to be overcast with showers for a full day. It's clear right now but the new growth and tops of the plants seem fine now. When I got there a few were limp. As soon as the sun came up though they all perked back up. Only time will tell. 6/7 Showers today. It's good to have a break from that horrific 80-90 degree weather with 90% rh isn't run for me or the plants. Plants are recovering from the burns quite nicely. Obviously the burnt leaves won't repair but they did a good job of shielding some of the others. Things are going. 6/8 Still overcast with showers. I removedc a couple burnt fan leavesxand accidently ripped off a bud site. 6/9 Another overcast day. Rained last night. Soil is saturated from all the rain we've gotten. Plants seem to be settling in nicely. The 3 GMOs that WERE the best looking plants are the ones in the worst shape. The got transplanted a day earlier in a lot of sun and wind. They're coming back though. I've noticed that after it rains and they get even a little sun they grow significantly. Those event horizons are tough. The toasted toffy is a reveg but it looks like its going to be a huge plant. I have the 3 seedlings still in small pots. I'll transplant them soon. 6/10 Overcast and a chance of showers. I removed a few bleached fan leaves on a few of my GMO'S that strain took the most damage. They are bouncing back though. We've had a few dayscof rain and milder weather. Few more days with a chance of showers then back to the sunny days. Plants seem to have come out of shock and out grown the light burn. After the rain, when the sun comes out they grow a noticeable amount. Things are still going fairly well. 6/11 Rained and I didn't do

First time using led to hold plants until outdoors. I have only veg switch on. Bright blue with white. I read you can use both switches from the start. Should I? Clones are hardening well. I don't want to burn them. I'm using Tatu 1000 grow light. Clones in 1 gal soil for

you should use whatever provides the most DLI the plants can handle -- if you want to maximize growth. 100w and very likely not an efficient light producer, so maybe 30watts per sq ft will do it with that light on a 18/6 light cycle. So, depending on hanging distance and the area you are covering.. if it's 4sq ft, you want the full thing on for 18h. .. observe and react to plant growth. The resulting length of stem that develops over time between 2 internodes is your guide. too tight = need less. too long= need more. the effects of red and blue are real and measurable against a control group, however, these effects are fairly small effects. Total light applied is by far more important. Read up on Daily Light Integral (DLI) on wiki is fine.. lots of decent sources for that one... the gist is fine, you don't need to memorize the math.. but puts applying light to a plant in proper perspective.. i.e. it is about photons received per day.. not too little and not too much - the whole observing the internode development above helps fine-tune this. hours of operation are 1:1 related to resulting DLI, all other factors remaining the same. Increasing rate of photon/s applied is 1:1 directly related to resulting DLI, all other factors remaining the same. e.g. going from 18h to 16 h, while at same power and hanging distance drops DLI 1/9th. As long as you give enough light to avoid flower, this is a valid option to impact how much light you give per day... just as effective as a dimmer knob or using veg or bloom switch on its own etc. sso the answer is it depends... if not trying to maximize growth between now and moving it outside, i'd just give it enough so that the plant doesn't stretch too much.. obsererve and react.

Blue light shortens internodal spacing, red light promotes longer internodal spacing. Has nothing to do with leaf shape or size that is dictated more by light intensity and the distance from light source , the plant creates bigger leaves when there is less light available in order to catch more of the scarce photons passing through the chloryphyll. Long thin leaves are a sign of high light intensity. Preferably you want to use higher levels of blue, keeping the plant as compact as you can prior to stretch. Won't hurt if have red on too, if it's going outside too then I wouldn't t worry so much so long as she is healthy. Blue photons hold almost 2x the energy of red, excess blue also promotes stomatal widening allowing greater uptake of co2. Blue is the primary wavelength for chloryphyll production as it is easiest to absorb.

I've tried to start this diary numerous times. The site was down once. It took all the information I had used and went back to anearlier point and I had to start again.
