There as big as they can be for my space so I'm switching to 12/12 Ive also switched the IR on as it's supposed to speed up the flowering transition.
It's a new light to me at the moment from geeklight it's 3000k 320w v4 lm301H with added 660nm switchable IR and UV. I've got it 40cm from the plants and have been using a lux meter app on my phone. (don't have par meter) I read online that 50000 max in veg and 65000 to70000 max in veg is about right but I'm just turning it up as I go.
The plants are very compact compared to HPS. My light spread over 120x60cm is really good in comparison to a 440w HPS.
If anyone has experience with quantum boards I'm open to advice?
Hahahaha! I thought the bananas were a naked ladies legs! Lol! ๐ . That on purpose or am I sick in the head, haha.
Congrats on the harvest. I see it wasn't exactly what you were going for with those sons a B's gnats. I hate them and I hope you don't have the same problem next go ๐. Mrs_Larimar had a great neem oil concoction if you run into this problem again๐.
@LittleBigTrees, I've heard that a couple times now, that neem changes the taste of the bud regardless of whether or not you spray just the foliage... I have all the product but if a pest problem comes up, I may go for H2o2 wash too... I trust neem works well, but I don't want any terpene interference, for sure. This round I used a crap tonne of sticky traps and circulation to mitigate them, so hopefully it won't ever come to having to use neem or h2o2. Fingers crossed.๐
As for the picture, thanks for calling me vigilant not perverted, lol! I'll take it. Good luck on the next run! Keep banana-ing for scale! haha. And good luck with those damned gnats. Insufferable buggers. Cheers!
@JinksyGrows, ๐ no it wasn't on purpose I was taking a bud for testing and put it in the fruit bowl while I made tea, so I figured I'd take a picture while it was there.
Don't worry your not sick in the head just vigilant๐
Remember soft secrets readers wife's?
I used to use neem oil but stopped as it changed the taste of my buds.
I used hydrogen peroxide watered down to 1% as a drench and it seemed to work but then they just invaded like crazy!
@HazeyBobby, after a cure it had more fruity notes, lol after changing the bag on my volcano it was a lot more fruity, amazing high almost like up you get with a thc-v heavy strain.
Maybe it's got some thc-v in there ๐ค.
Your grow looks amazing, keep up the awesome work ๐
