Ahhhhhhh my unicorn, finally get my dirty fingers on them, been waiting awhile. First of all credit has to go to @alesh for finding these chips, digitizing the SPD, and all the other awesome info he provides to the community. 95+? CRI, 65% 630nm+, 2.62 umol/j @ 700ma(50c) with b-lux tools(not confirmed) can read more about them here....

Onto the pics:
DSC06566.JPG DSC06564.JPG DSC06568.JPG DSC06569.JPG DSC06576.JPG Like growing on mars, lol. These may be even better for supplementation but I wanted this spec 100% pure to see how this very heavy red leaning output would do.

Usual solid build by timber, nothing to bitch about except weight, massive pin sinks. 296w for the 6 vero 29 , 10 osram oslon 730nm on a separate circuit/driver. NO reflectors, lenses, diffusers, dimmer/pot, etc==== full blast from seed and let the Orca lining do it's thing. Added more scraps around the room, half-assed it with the staple gun but should get the job done. Have the fixture around 14 inches above and seems ok to me so far.



Strain: In House purple animal kush fem (3), finally putting a dent in my freebie stash:)

DSC06563.JPG

Container: 30 gal root trapper II

Intake,exhaust,circulation: passive for stealth, old dayton 265cfm blower, Lasko 12inch wall mount

Odor control: small ozone generator attached to the exhaust

Ferts/additives: Dr Earth's Vega(plant based, no animal byproducts), start to end & Filtered tap water

Light schedule: 13/11 from seed, 730nm running for 15min after lights out..........should be fine with these indica doms, maybe.

Meters: CO2 ppm/RH/temp meter

Medium: ROLS, I'm trying no-till again. Hated it years ago following the organic section hype but used 2gal pots. It takes me out of my comfort zone, maybe I'll kill a plant or two; exciting. I did scratch the surface up to make sure of decent drainage; vital with leds. Top dressed the rest of my organic mechanix container blend, no sst , cover crops, nada.

I planted the seeds early knowing when the fixture would arrive, I'm time constrained this part of the year and I'm not leaving them unattended again during vacation, yikes! So they all germinated two days ago.


DSC06570.JPG DSC06571.JPG DSC06573.JPG .....<<<I have another straggler, 3 times in a row, same area of the pot. It's fucking cursed or a Monsanto superfund site........


DSC06575.JPG ...............this SPD is like nothing else, that could be a good or a bad thing. Time will tell



As always I have no idea what I'm doing so help/comments/criticisms are always welcome.


be safe and happy growing RIU

Awesome man. Looking forward to this one for sure. That orange spectrum reminds me of my super red heavy flip chip opto r/w duet, which I still have only used for supplemental light. Might end up letting it go solo depending on your results. The fate of the world hangs on your shoulders now. Good luck homie

I'm smoking some of that strain right now, good luck and happy growing.
Did you get 17+ zips off a plant on this strain too?!?:mrgreen:

Holy red batman! This should be interesting. Along for the ride!

It's the camera's crappy auto sensor, it's not that red in person.........grab a chair grower

Ha, not worried brother.......plenty of cannabis in my freezer if this fails:)

Subbed!

Going to bet 3 dollars that in the end, you decide to add some higher color temps ;)
I'm a terrible gambler, so I'm going to agree with you..........lol

Ah But Can you Do The Russian???? :hump:

NO, but I can do the Italian===== red wine & chill on my couch next to my young lady:hump:

Im curious to see how this turns out. I was going to mix in some of thsee to my current build but decided to wait. This will be interesting
I have no idea how this will turn out............If the stretch isn't a killer, I'll be optimistic

Very nice, subbed up :)
Whats the distance onbthe par meter?
not a par meter, kill a watt........my ppfd doesn't mean anything for the rest here, it would be exclusive to this closet. PPF/w of the fixture is unknown until sphere tested.

Subbed, let me know if you need any help with the no till! Awesome to see this and no reflectors to boot. :bigjoint:
I did pull the roots out from the last run, so it's not a true no-till........can't help it, my AG schooling is hard to break. I might need your help though grower.


Not doing shit today, so update time

Day 10 of 13/11 from seed under Timber's b-lux décor food vero 29 fixture (1750k) 296watts & osram 730nm trigger===== with my 3 purple animal kush girls

DSC06577.JPG DSC06578.JPG DSC06579.JPG DSC06580.JPG DSC06581.JPG .......A straggler on the left side of the container is becoming a common theme in my runs now. She's way behind for 10 days in, might not get lucky like last time. The fixture distance seems ok , no leaning for center or elongation so far. Nothing to rave about either imo...


DSC06583.JPG DSC06582.JPG .......exhaust and circulation fans are off to keep temps in check. First feeding will be today, worried about the nutrient requirements on this SPD. High photosynthetic rate on paper, might be a constant dump on with slow release dry ferts(vega).

I got about 10 oz of that one, it was a dense strain but is stretchy and not a huge yielder

@PSUAGRO. not sure how i missed this but im subbed here now,nice :)
Grab a guitar case grower....................haha


Just made a smoothie with my new vitamix, not bad.....................worked with them for years in the restaurant business( off season), had one blow off the lid in my face before; fun times:)

while I'm sipping, let's do an update on mars

Day 17 of 13/11 from seed under Timber's b-lux décor food vero 1750k fixture(296w) and osram 730nm trigger==== with my 3 purple animal kush girls.

DSC06584.JPG DSC06585.JPG DSC06586.JPG DSC06587.JPG .......Yeah, I'm gonna have a battle on my hands here. Reminds me of HPS vegging with indica doms. Lowering the panel will do nothing. Not a shock really, as this spd has very little blue. Thankfully not growing microgreens, it's all about flower baby. Fucking straggler is just doing it's thing...........lol

DSC06589.JPG DSC06588.JPG ........exhaust is still off, circulation fan on low to strengthen the stems for the inevitable supercroppings to come.

in for the riiiide, dude (:
Grab a bean bag grower

should make that my alarm........piss off my "better" half every morning


Another Sunday and I'm still kicking..........update time

Day 24 of 13/11 from seed under timber's b-lux décor food vero 1750K(296w) & osram 730nm trigger===== with my 3 purple animal kush girls.

DSC06590.JPG DSC06593.JPG DSC06592.JPG DSC06591.JPG ...Now we're cooking with fire, impressive growth in a week IMO. Could be hybrid vigor though. Let them get pretty close to the fixture to see if bleaching would occur, nada, cobs are bare soooooooo good to go. Straggler is still doing it's thing and getting blocked out. Time to fix that.



DSC06594.JPG DSC06596.JPG DSC06595.JPG better, quick Velcro strap LST, stick it directly to the sides of the fabric pot. Plant's are starting to stink and seeping out of the passive intake of the closet. Dayton Exhaust dimmed to low to fix the smell , lowered temps down by 7F. Should be showing sex any day now.

Man what a shitty week, work is killing me,...................busy season sucks. I'll get used to it , I always start bitching in the beginning :)

Another Sunday, shit/ shave and shower doesn't apply today...........update time on mars



Day 31 of 13/11 from seed under Timber's b-lux décor food vero fixture 1750k(296watts) & osram 730nm trigger===== with my 3 purple animal kush girls.

DSC06597.JPG DSC06598.JPG DSC06599.JPG DSC06600.JPG DSC06601.JPG .........I haven't killed any plants yet with my half assed attempt at no-till. They took well to the LST from 7 days ago, waiting to do the straggler. Canopy is sorta even going into flower. All have shown sex except my bastard child. I haven't thrown any insults or profanities her way, trying to be a better person in 2017. Might pick up yoga or drink more wine............lol.


DSC06602.JPG DSC06603.JPG .......temps have been a little cold from running the exhaust, haven't noticed any decrease in rates by the girls. So far I like what I see, but I'm red/deep red biased for flowering cannabis as always.


Edit: We all know that the EPA as an agency is worthless, just another tick in the box for them

Dow really dug deep into their pockets , Dursban is highly effective and the mega corn farms love it. Some experts think that organophosphates contributed to the bee colony collapses(+ fungicide mislabeling)====== but who the fuck cares about them, field workers, nearby communities, or the crops we ingest.........whatever.
