, ha yeah man , it's not ideal but more juice is always better than less juice 😉 folks think that "the sun is not purple" is a joke, but it does help wrap your head around what kinda color you're looking for 😉

, if you already have it then it's worth a try. I thought you was going out buying one. My bad.

, Its not meant for plants, its for houses. But I had it free, so Im thinking about using it. 50W/h*19h more for some weeks. Later I will put this floodlight to its normal place, outside for flooding my place with light, and then I will see what this blurple can do if its working alone. But now I want to have a big big yield, even if its not the most efficient as grams/€. But I understand. I will invest in some modern stuff later.

Hey there, hope i answered your question, anything else you need just let me know 👊

, I dont know why am I unable to reply straight to your answer. its purple, yes, but from varying diodes, red, but statistically more blue. And this 4000k is also a bit more on the colder side. (maybe the gold coloured foil will help a bit) So are you sure it would help in the spectrum also? Ah, dumb question, this vipar doesn't have too many white diodes, and now all the new lights are mostly white. Im going to do it. Thanks.

, We want to measure our leaf surface temperature with our thermal laser gun, I am so glad to help friend ! It sounds like you could really benefit from our tutorial series we are currently producing. We are releasing the third episode by the end of tomorrow which will also just happen to include thermal gun usage & much more for the first 7 days of plant care. We release new episodes each week of growth! Each new series will expand upon the last getting more advanced to completely teach everybody who watches how to grow their own high level craft cannabis. Tell your friends to check us out too! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR89iF2Iqy3zlHZhFfU2MMg

, I tought I have read a lot about the topic, but your comment sounds exact as it can be. I have changed it to 204 a week ago, because she didnt stretched at all, and now its too bushy. now I broke the main stem with a wire, so today 8 dark hours what she is gonna get. This stuff about the small gap sounds good, but this is going to be a long story, since I have big gaps in the temperature of my house also. but I won't forget, what you have wrote down. Btw I have a pretty accurate thermal cam, I can see it already, that there are big temp gaps inside. some leaves are like 3-4C° hotter then others and not because they are closer to the light. One of the bottom fan leaf was in such a degree to the light, that it was way hotter then the top. The soil is always cooler. Which part of your plant have you used to measure with your laser? Im curious, and sorry for not asking it in dm, but I think your info can be valuable for everybody. Thank you very much. I guess, luck is not very needed in your case, since you can manage every aspect of your grow place, but I hope you wont break important main stems in pre flower bc of accident, like me now. or etc. Avoid bad luck :D

Hey there friend. Congratulations on getting into growing cannabis! looking at your diary, Would you be alright with me offering some pointers? Even though autoflowers do not require a change in light cycle to flower, They are still cannabis plants which during lights on, photosynthesize and store energy & during lights off, Do a lot if not most of their growth. It is important to give them a night cycle of at least 20 on 4 off. 20/4. Grab yourself a cheap timer to use so it stays consistent. So cannabis plants LOVE heat and humidity. It is the buds that hate it. In veg we want to take advantage of this fact to help our plants grow along much quicker and more vigorously. In veg we can look for temps of 79-84 MAX with lights on & no more than 9 degrees less with lights off. If we allow for too much temperature swing between lights on and lights off while the plant is still growing vertically up to day 20 of flower, We will cause the plant to stretch ALOT which we do not want. So in veg & early flower, Keeping our temperature gaps nice and close between lights on and off is key. Utilizing humidity in our rooms during veg will also help out a lot with more rapid growth but we must introduce it properly. In our rooms we have our temperature and humidity set-points, But when we combine those 2 it forms a third set-point which is the most important & that is called VPD, Vapor pressure deficit. I strongly recommend every new grower or old grower who has not learned it yet, To study and understand it & implement it into your room, Logging your numbers daily. https://cerescann.com/importance-of-measuring-vpd/ For soil, We generally want to go for a PH of 6.1. This website does a GREAT job of illustrating it with a nice graph & very good detailed explanation for soil. https://autoflowerseedshop.com/cannabis-ph-chart-guide/ As we briefly touched on before, During veg & early flower we want our temperature gap's nice and tight to avoid stretch. Why exactly our plants stretch in response to this is a genetic trigger being activated by the environmental stress essentially telling the plant the end of the season is closer than it really is. In veg & early flower the plant is still in its first stage of development which is to grow up wide and tall so when it produces seed, It can cast them out nicely. Remember, Whether we are growing our plants for seed or bud their genetic responses do not change as they gh sidedo not know any different. Once the plant has finished that first stage of growth by weeks 4-6 of flower with most strains, It is by day 20 of flower. Autoflowers you have to watch for it, But once the plant has finished this goal its new mission is to focus 100% on producing nice big flower clusters & to get very sticky so it can attract pollen to it successfully. So once that vertical growth is finished, We actually now want to begin to expose our plants to larger temperature swings between lights on and lights off. This will help activate that genetic response and allow us to draw out the most potential from the strain utilizing the plants genetic triggers to environmental stresses at the right times. We can also take this a step further with doing light deprivation in the last 2 weeks using less light to simulate cloud cover. Very cold feed temps on the last flush is very good too. If you do not have them already, Get yourself a good PAR meter & thermal laser temp gun to monitor your plant top temperatures & optimize how much light your plants are getting. We are currently in the middle of producing a very comprehensive tutorial series for everybody to learn from & understand how to grow the highest level craft cannabis all on their own. If this interests you please check out our youtube and subscribe. The first 2 episodes are out the next one is coming in a few days. If you should ever have any questions or need any help, Please feel free to follow my profile and shoot me a DM. I will gladly help you with the pull down & make sure you get the best quality harvest possible as it is the most important step of the entire process. Good luck my friend!
