Upgrading LED Lights

I dont other than my phone I can check real quick one sec.

5k lux around edges 7k-9k center area. Its about 12k lux where I imagine theyll be at when full size before flip. Which I think Il veg a little longer in flower area before flip. If needed.

So 200-300ppfd which sounds about right. It always was like that.

Crazy how I just realized my clones weren’t getting enough light—too soft, not enough for photosynthesis. Turned up the intensity and saw a big change in hours. Gonna run some tests to dial it in moving forward. Funny how the light felt bright since it’s above my head, but the plants weren’t feeling it. Big lesson in light intensity today.

Should learn how to revive my pheno as a skill. If thats the issue, finding new genetics is proving to be tough. What if I knew how to revive all my phenos if all was well and was the only issue. How would I go about that, reversing? Or Selfing.. Can you do anything once you lose the pheno tho? Or am I just stuck with the traditional process.

I forget how it goes if I ever did but to my knowledge I can only replicate the same genetically stunted plant right? I heard making a F1 will revive the vigor. Selfing would only replicate the bad genetics right.. Shit idk what Im doing. Its so bad I might have to go on a full on bean hunt like now, next run.

That would really suck if a pheno only last a couple years 6-8 generations many stunting. I read og kush fades quick. If thats true my phenobis basically og kush and even the distinct og kush flavor is fasing when its at its steongest freshly pressed.

Wel this amherst sour d is basically chemdog super skunk and chemdog known to produce hash. Balls too but if I get a good clean pheno.. Grape diamonds lookin promising review wise.

If I chop these other plants and they press well thatd be a thinker. That I didnt lose the pheno but that it could still produce only half the hash and bud. Or that Im starting to lose it so study each plant and mother the best one and only take cuts from that. Then hope for the best.

I almost hope I lost the pheno but then again its not much better if I didnt. Both are crappy realitys and both can be the case.

I started out no plant training it was tiny buds and mostly shaded airy larf. Id machine trim and always get 12%. Then I started plant training and hand trimming and got 20% or just under for a bit. Then it started dropping as low as 15-16% and now 12% from two clones side by side.

So yea. I didnt realize this hobby would take so much problem solving people be saying KISS and etc but ya. I just get problem after another.

Afaik tissue culture will reset your genetics to zero and remove stuff like viruses.

Would yall say this fuel thing is 5/16” OD? It comes up quick many fuel lines and tubing in general. 5/16” ID tubing needed? Its about 2.5” high from the gas can here Id run the tubing to, to drain the old gas. Or should I use something with a more shallow brim? Id say I need the tubing but maybe a 2 gallon bucket maybe?
