Increased PPFD to 920 = DLI of 42 @ 13 hours. A little leaf burn from the UVB, but she's fine. Stacking nicely. :) At the moment, smells mostly skunky with just a hint of blueberry. Very sticky.

It was time to harvest. Trichomes about 20% amber. Even though I Lowered the EC and PAR last week, she started to foxtail and start spewing out more pistils. She gotta go! Don't waste your time on expensive fertilizers! I used aproximately $ 2.17 of fertilizer. I probably used no more than a cup and a half of fertilizer. No bloom boosters or special/other fertilzers. 25 pound bag cost about 60 USD with shipping. 400 ounces/bag 15 cents/ounce 1.5 cups = 14.5 ounces x .15 = 2.17 worth of fertilizer. No joke! The only thing I used other than the Peter's, was Hydroguard from Botanicare. See this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JwtkHxv_3pU?si=iP12Ve9tgyD6Wehr Watch the whole video, but Dr. Bugbee starts to talk about fertilzer at 32 minutes. I'll get back with a dried/trimmed weight. I didn't get a wet weight.

Happy Grow! The Blue Dream from Barneys is also my next grow! Do you know if this Strain is fertilizer hungry? The Blue Dream from Humboldt was Hungry as Hell

@siLva_77, It doesn't seem to be. I'm only feeding 1.3 EC and it seems healthy and happy. Good luck!

Looking good there at the moment, I'm also growing blue dream but from seedsman under 300w so will be nice to see yield under a 600. Good luck and will pop back over to see how she's doing in flower.

Looking great! Is the par meter accurate?

likes

purple_trichomecommented2 months ago

@siLva_77, I was using a cheap LUX meter (BTMETER BT-881E) with a conversion factor of x.028, thanks to MIGRO. MIGRO compared the LUX meter to a Apogee Instruments PAR meter to get the conversion factor. The readings seem to be very similar, but the Lightray is much more convenient. In the app, you can choose PPFD, DLI, Lux, or Kelvin. Migro did a comparison, but used a iPhone 12 and a Samsung S22 (both outdated, IMHO). https://migrolight.com/blogs/grow-light-news/par-meter-apps-compared-for-accuracy?srsltid=AfmBOoqhp9mtT0dhcD3BpzIhk1kTIo_e7uXHk2X99Kd8Je5LDDY77flo I have not seen a recent accurate review of the Photone app with the Lightray Diffuser with the latest phones. Photone, of course, says it is within a few percentage points of pro PAR meters
