Thank you.

I do plan on going legal. When the time comes, which is why I’m researching at the moment.

I want to attract medical client with good insurance so they will have access to medicine via insurance

I need clones

This came out soo much better than my last grow although i went from 3lb to .5 lb

I kept the environment very cool at 74 degrees


What are your favorite feeding charts and addons? I want to up my game and start growing Top shelf’s

You can tinker with the led spectrum. I like this supplement board:

What is that used for?

UV and IR spectra are associated with an increase in secondary metabolites and plant growth. Whether it is anything more than an association…jury seems to be out

Indoor grown cannabis yield increased proportionally with light intensity, but ultraviolet radiation did not affect yield or cannabinoid content - PMC

The far red takes about 10% off of flowering time. The uv/“exotic” spectrums make frost, mostly the trichs that dont contain cannabinoids, but do add greatly to bag appeal. From the perspective of someone just smoking it, the flower seems to burn a lot longer.

I can concur with all thats said above. Strains we have grown in the past under different lamps finish a few days sooner under our new UV lamps. The HLG lamps we used previously only had the additional far reds. Havent taken too many strains past 9 weeks as of this year yet.

The uv lamps definitely increase trichome production. I believe you are referring to Capitate-Sessile Trichomes. There are several but these are the ones I have been observing bugbee study.

  1. Capitate-Stalked Trichomes: These are the largest type and are most abundant in areas that receive a lot of light. They produce the highest concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes.

  2. Capitate-Sessile Trichomes: Smaller than capitate-stalked trichomes, these are more widespread on the plant and also contribute to cannabinoid and terpene production, but to a lesser extent.

At our facility we use ilogic 8 uv/far red, not a complaint at all. 1100+ ppfd no problem

Hey guys, long time no see how’s everyone doing over here?

Btw this is one of my best grow ever.

This difference between this grow Versus my Other grow is I went on the six part feeding cycle. Vegging was amazing some of my best veg yet, I’ll look for pictures later.

But When it was time to flower, my plants started yellowing around week three of flowering. We’re on week 5-6 right now.

I spoke to a mentor he said there may be magnesium deficiencies. Pictures/ videos below.


Today I tested the run off EC and Temp for a small sample size.

EC 1200-1300ppm
Ph 6.8 - 7.2

I gave the babies a nice flush and will double or triple dose on cal mag as a test on one plant any thoughts?

I thought magnesium defficiancue would show in the tips first of the leave but have not grown for years

Deficiencies initially visually show at the petiole to midrib and stipule and discoloration or die off at the margins is a result of advanced mineral starvation . Many factors such as atmosphere and foiliar applications effect these symptoms.
