I am going to replace 1/2 Quantum flower bulbs with 1 ATI Blue Actinic in hopes of amping up trics, which are doing quite well already

A couple clones have already rooted, one quite well under the 12w 850 lumen 5000K EcoSmart

Uncle Bens' Avatar was grown completely under hps, so I decided to replace the 12w with my Feit 22w 1600 lumen 3000K

Just hope they don't outgrow the tote before the other tents finish- it could happen, as both are > 3 weeks to harvest

I clone under my 10w 3000k...workz well.

And Uncle Buck grew Mitt Romney...??? Bahahaha....(i know you meant Uncle Ben...)

^ Thanks for the correction. I swapped the bulbs yesterday.

There is a RIU thread titled Monster Cropping. The technique is to take clones with marble size buds. These are supposed to devlop into bushes instead of growing tall.

I tired it with the plants that are finishing in my HOT5 tent, but they look just like their mother. I think I took them too early.

Anyway, I took one from Phoenix and put it in the place of the non WH clone.

its a 10000k? yeah i like them in flower too. good results here using the quantum 10k and 5400k in flower with the HPS. as well as as x2 zoomed and x2 UVL 10k(which are the reddest looking 10k bulbs ever, no green light whatsoever)


what i mean is when they are nex to other bulbs that do emit green light they appear red even tho they emit a blue color. wierd right?

oh and ill get you a pic on what a true monster cropped clone looks like. if you do it right, they will be looking dead by the time you get roots and for a while after that too. :/
here it is

yeah its got roots and this one will pul though, its diffucult but i do quite few of them at a time to ensure one or 2 survive, i take them around week 4 of flower.

Nute ppms reduced to ~ 650 on the way down to flush

LED Tent

Phoenix is now >39". The top foot is going to be one cola

I added a 50w Reptile Intense Spot DR/FR



HOT5 Tent

All is extremely well here. Lots of trics and swollen calyxes. Late yesterday I decided to replace one ATI Actinic Blue with a Quantum Flower in hopes of bulking up even more

I saw a thread @ slickdeals - at home depot you can pickup the philips par38 3000K flood bulb @ $25 if you set your home store to Augusta, ME. If you buy 2 then shipping is free. They show as backordered until 4/10. Just trying to be helpful for those that are taking the PetFlora approach.

^^Depends on how many watts/lumens etc

Temps are back up in the low 80s and expected to hit 88 in the next day or two. sucks for trics but nothing I can do. Morning temps inside the LED Tent ~ 80*s! so I have to open the flaps and use my recirculating fan throughout the day. Even with that, temps are high 70s.

Actinic Blue Experiment

One plant has side branches on each side of the fixture, so one was getting ATI the other QF. The ATI side had more trics, but the QF side has more bulk and somewhat fatter calyxes. This morning I replaced the other ATI Actinic Blue with Quantum Flower. I may reintroduce the ATIs during the last week

LED

Buds have doubled in size since adding the Intense Spot. The lower branches were not getting much light so I added an extender and moved the Philips 17w down low

I thought the top 12" was going to be one cola, but side branches are popping right where the Intense Spot is most concentrated

HOT5

Dropped ppm from ~ 700 to ~ 600.

Will also drop hours from 12/12 by half an hour for 2 weeks, then drop again. Last grow with these plants, I had to drop to 10/14 and cut the lights from 8 bulbs down to 4 before they would finish.

I replaced the second ATI Blue Actinics with another Quantum Flower as the buds were getting fatter under the side with one Q F. Most likely reinsert the ATIs during the last week + one Wave Point Coral Wave

LED Tent

Changed nutes out this morning ~ 590. Root ball looks very healthy. Buds are ~ doubling in size every 2 days. I think she would like 50-100 more watts
