Update. Seedling mat cooked the clones, after being plugged in. Sure didn’t cook them the three previous days, when the room was cold and the mat was not plugged in. Go figure.
Even better, forum poster mentioned seeds being cooked and forum reply came back, seedling mat may have cooked seeds germinating in paper towel. I found my clone starts too dry.
All recovered allgood.
Volunteer activity today in outdoors, great weather, PNW sunshine is great.
Until you plant some regs you just won’t know how bad ass they are!! Lol they grow with quite a lot of vigor
?? regs ?
Kil-a-watt meter, UT383-BT, IR-gun, and Cloudline Controller 69P controlled with external or remote dimming (69P) capability., all confirm HLG superiority and kit HLG LED purchased for summer indoor grow use.
Vipar Spectras all use 2x electricity for half the output, and run too hot for summer indoor grow.
HLG’s run so much cooler,
Ladies in tent thrilled.
Regular seeds. I was responding to PNW’s comment about only growing feminized seeds
HLG is the SH1T!!! I use old tech but I’m slowly upgrading to hlg equipment.
Vipar Spectras (purchased years ago, i my defense) were advertised as great, like sliced bread.
From Japan, I collected Lights and tent for retired growing.
Vipar Spectras will grow, but better weed comes from better lights (1000HPS, 1983).
The Vipar Spec1000, 2000, 600 (300 watts) R900 (450 watts) and V1200 (550 watts)., complete my collection of China Cheapie, as commonly refered to by me. They are not cheap. The electricity to run lights, even for 12/12 is significant. I actually will be reducing grow, shortly.
The HLG350R purchased convinced me to abandon the VS ship and join the HLG floatilla.
It will take a while, but I got it covered.
Everything I’ve grown is grown with MH/HPS! And I think my bud looks just as good as the bud grown with LED’s. Granted I paid a lot more in electricity (bulbs,more power than led, AC to cool the room that has essentially 5 “hps” heaters in it lol) but I don’t think the quality is lacking at all. I’ve never grown a full grow with led lights so I CANNOT SPEAK from experience…. But judging from the pics on this forum, I’m right there with the LED growers! Have a good day my brother!
The 1000watt light I had in 1983 grew great buds. That’s the goal. Solar would assist, enhance, and compensate greatly for my situation.
in my 4x4 there is 800-true-watts plus recent added HLG-UVA-30 bar.
Added crossways, under the HLG350R and next to the Vipar Spectra V1200.
Starting the introduction of UVA, starting out slow and not using 12/12, yet, the garden is doing well, which means I have not killed anything, too much, lately.
The question of the day is
@Spudgunner or any forum contributor
I hope this is NOT WPM, but a protective reaction of top buds to growing good and loving LED living?
UVA-sunscreen from plant?
More than one lady looks like this, all most all the top ladies, do.
Just asking, for me and Jack
Thanks.
Ok, I was not going to touch it, but upon advice, will go rub some and play stink finger (what memories, that brings).
Soon.
I dont think so. Will it rub off?
Not really. Cant smell (other than weed)
All I see is trichomes. Gorgeous!
soo nice! Im getting one now lol!
Frosty trichomes! Snow covered leaves!!
Blind Dave, didnt need to see under water at 300 ft.
Glasses never fit in helmet.
Transition lenses are to F/U for looking at anything with palsy shaking hands, or jacks eyepached eyeball,
microscope time , got no cash in budget HLG260Kit in route, today.
Need it for Aug indoor grow. Cool and awesome, UIS dimmable.
HLG-UVA-30 controlled with AC-I Outlet Controller (75/79 one of them)
What are is your game plan?
WPM seems to start mid-leaf, not where the tines and stem meet (usually). Those look like trichs to me. Funny, I’ve been spraying my ladies every 3 or 4 days, thinking that damn WPM isn’t going away, it’s getting worse! So I plucked a whitish leaf off and looked thru my microscopic camera…they have mushroom heads! Trichs, not mold! So I wonder if they throw out trichomes in defense of getting sprayed with hydrogen peroxide?
Through the darkness we find light
Congratulations, that must be a relief and a shocker.
