This was a few weeks ago hanging out at Cedar Creek Lake. We were sitting around chatting and this duo landed on my forearm. I quickly swatted away not really realizing what they were.
The hornet won.
Oh, thatâs a grasshopper!

Depends on what your goal is with the far red.
My goal was to get to harvest quicker, knock off a week to harvest time and I had read that one could use far red to accomplish that.
So to use it in that manner, I ran the far red by itself for 7 minutes after the main lights turned off and had main lights on a 13/11 light schedule.
The far red lamp changes the phytochrome state in minutes, rather than a couple hours that it usually takes, putting the plants to âsleepâ much faster, allowing a 13/11 light schedule which gives them an extra hour of light (and growth) daily, all those hours add up and takes time off the usual harvest time, with no loss of yield.
The theory is that a plant takes so many light hours to get to maturity (cloudy trichs with a few ambers), that could be 10 weeks of 12 hours of light a day or 9 weeks at 13 hours a day.
The experiment was successful and the last time I used that method, the Cherry Ice Cream was ready to chop in 9 weeks (9 weeks and a day) instead of the usual 10 weeks, took 6 days off the usual harvest time with no noticeable loss of yield.
There are other uses for far red, running it with main lights like you are doing is trying to get the Emerson Effect going - an increase in the rate of photosynthesis, which can increase growth rates. Supposedly works best when deep red and far red is combined like running HLG Rspecs which have deep red LEDs and a HLG far red lamp.
You might try cashing in on both effects, run the far red lamp with main lights and then by itself for 7 minutes after main lights go off and use 13/11 light schedule, a future experiment I have planned.

Thats pretty cool @Zee Iâll have to research this wasp. Maybe itâs a murder hornet. They are not good for the beekeepers on the west coast, I havenât heard of these spreading east as of yet.
Mean little buggers, can destroy a honeybee colony.

@Hellraiser , I have stop using the far red during lights on, and now only for 15min at lights out. The 12 hours of far red was causing the stems to continue stretching throughout all of flower, and didnât see any advantage to this in my indoor setup. I do think the phytochrome shift is very beneficial for flower development, but I need more grows using it for comparison.

Yeah Iâve read that the far red can cause extra stretching when used for extensive time periods but had not tried it to see how much stretching they actually do, and yeah most of us want to keep the plants shorter not taller.

Nice to see youâre still throwing out all. Your knowledge just wanted to say hi have you ever watched Rasta Jeff from irie genetics his you tube show at least 3 of them tells you his excact recipe for feminized seeds how to mix when. To apply exct anyway keep up the excellent work

Found this on my first outdoor grow in mid Michigan, itâs just the dried shell of a cicada but looks like a mini alien.

Day 36 of flowering (half-way there!), plants doing fine, do notice a little bit more leaf tip burn on the AN girls over the Jacks girls though both are getting about the same EC/ppms (2.0/1000) so gonna bring down the AN dosage a tiny bit to compensate (like 1.8 EC/900 ppm)
