Multi lights
Fusionstarted grow question 4 years ago
Does anyone run multiple (different) lights on same-day cycle. Experimenting with LED / HID /LED within a 12/12.
Have 3 hrs LED , 15 sec delay for HID and runs for 6hrs, 15 sec delay to LED for last 3hrs.
Ideally LED mimicking falls cool morning /evening, with HID giving aft

We chatted about this, but for others reading it..
you can custom-tailor an LED's spectrum. you could have one 'like' an hps or cmh and even match intensity for a footprint or more likely a more even footprint with same umol/s provided with zero hot spots. efficacy is greater than hps by a wide margin now too.. you can push 3umol/s per joule, if you want.
here's an older study that shows hps may improve bulk, but doesn't increase potency along with that bulk. So you get more mass, but thc doesn't increase with it when compared to buds grown with LED... LED now are much better than the trash they used back then. differences were quite small, if i recall, so possibly statisticalyl insignificant.. i haven't read this in over a year and not re-reading it now, lol. general gist is good enough. cehck out abstract and scroll to conclusions and discussion.

anyway, i forgot to draw a conlcusion... in the end you'd be using a light source that only uses more wattage in comparison to making an led mimic that spectrum, if it does hold some benefit.

@gmslave; @NorCal_Kannabliss ;
Fully agree with the HID on better response. 3-6-3 almost seems like delaying her. Nodes are tight but the height isn't there . Not much stress but switched to 1-10-1 think push the 3-6-3 closer to finish where the lower levels matter.. will hit her with 90 min of uv-b also after 6 was flower

Nothing wrong with this idea at all. If anything you'll just help increase your light footprint size and in turn yield! Happy growing!

Your hid will give you the best result by far but running the led at the same time will give you even better results at the end of flowering time. Different light 3 times a day is a little stress 3 times a day as well. Cheers.

How much time could it be until the plant is ripe?Looking at the image of the trichomes (and ignoring the little black lint xD) can someone give me maybe a rough estimate on how long they could still take? Could it be a week, could it be 3 weeks?
I feel a bit unsure because I already see some amber ones too.

I got to harvest in 14 days: in order to have enough time to cure it before leaving home for 2 weeks (safety first: is a period of floods in here, I just can't take the risk). I had a pretty long vegetative stage but I'm gonna finish it at 13 weeks. Am I gonna ruin it it, right?
