03.08.2024 Take a teaspoon of sugar cane molasses and 2 ml of "Piranha" fertilizer together with some crumbs of coffee grounds and make the microorganisms, the fungi and the whole plant happy. 😍 The slightly curling leaves and the purple stem on three leaves convinced me to change the distance of the lamp from 40 cm to a good 55 cm. As well as I used some coffee ground as a source for phosphor. 👆 05.08.2024 The fungus gnats (flies) are really getting on my nerves. I put nematodes in the soil over a week ago, but the flies are still there. 💩 New nematodes arrived today and I'm going to use them straight away. 💀 A small bag of Amblyseius cucumeris (predatory mites) also arrived, which I immediately put near the plant (with contact) as a preventative measure. 💀 10.08.2024 During the week she grow up a lot (total high 28 cm) so I decided to top her (after the 5th knot) and put the 10 cm left over as a cutting in some water. 11.08.2024 She developed quite good over night (after the topping) so I decided to also low stress her a bit with this red angles to bend down the remaining branches. Overall, she is looking quite healthy and well feeded to me. Light: 50 % = 60 w' Distance: ~ 50 cm

What do you think about mit light shedule? 40 / 45 Minutes before / after the main light is turned on/off the purple "grow light" turned on to simulate a bit of a sunraise and sunset. Sunrise: 05:30 - 06:10 Grow light: 06:00 - 23.30 Sunset: 23:15 - 23:59

Agreed. This is possibly a good hypothesis to test, but the effect would be small if there is one. If you can find professional research that it provides some benefit, go ahead. But, i wouldn't trust anecdote from someone's home garden experience. Simply not a proper sample nor consistent enough with all the variables invovled to rule out volatility for what is seen in a small scale with uncontrolled variables. I'm not trying to shit on your idea. Many others have done it too. If you like it, it certainly won't hurt anything, as long as you maintain same DLI as before. Plants react pretty fast to light. that would probably be somethign you can read into to help.. if leaves 'wake' up in a matter of seconds or minutes in reaction to light, then even less likely this ramp up/ramp down of light would have any effect worthwhile. there may be existing knowledge out there that is not a specific test of this idea but could help either support it or rule it out. What you defnitely shouldn't base this on is "it happens in nature" Lots of less efficient things happen in nature. that's a flip of a coin even if one side is slightly weighted. If you do do it, one thing i'd stress is to do a rough calculation of how much DLI you are losing by doign this and adjust accordingly... contineu to provide the same DLI as before. This may take slightly more power from the light once it is "full day" light, or maybe just 30mins longer running time to compensate for the energy that was lost due to the slow amping up and down of power at endcaps of day. Chances are that loss of DLI will have a more profound effect than any potential benefit of this.
