I appreciate that brother
And now I questioning my light grrrrrrrr:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
@Majiktoker
Now your in my head hahaha
Can a whiter light still be full spectrum?

No full spectrum is a combination of red blue white orange Ir and UV chips lol not white lights, white lights are still all determined by Kelvin all others are determined by nanometers @Countryboyjvd1971

It’s on the pink side of purple, if that makes sense. I’ve tried to get a picture that would show the actual color I see, but the image just isn’t the same.
Perhaps it’s because of the IR & UV in the light that is causing the problem. I noticed in a dish of water I’m using for humidity that, through the no.10 welding lens, I can see the cobs better. Later I’ll see if the camera can capture it better than pointing it directly at the light.
It’s weird how what I see producing the light can produce such an intense light in the room!

That’s what I thought thanks guys
Like I said I might not have noticed the growth difference if they where in separate tents but side by side is see a little better growth with my standard leds I’ll be buy a few new ones now lol
I’ll use these for veg in next go around I think
Thanks for the input @FloridaSon d @Majiktoker

I placed all 6 of the B.S. outside for sexing as the Sun was going down. Timing could be better since another cold front is on the way, but I believe I’m close to transplant and don’t want to waste my time or supplies on a male.
I’m also thinking of dropping 4 more seeds. Chocolope, Amnesia Haze, Big Bud and Sour Diesel. These 4 will remain inside and be used as mothers so I can be close to having clones ready for the Spring equinox.
I have one more seed of each that I will use as seed to harvest outside. Those will be grown out to see the difference in the grow between plants from clones and plants from seed.
I’m also thinking of dropping 2 Blueberry autos every 30 days. Some will go outside, but I think most will stay under the light. I guess it will depend on how well I can control the environment once our Summer heat kicks in.
Thank you all for checking on my grow…

Use caution bringing indoor plants outside, that’s how they often can bring things back in with them, bad things (things you don’t want inside)

I’ve got that covered, I think.
I thought about the same thing…
So I dusted them with food grade D.E. for a little help.
Good looking out…

Well, I tried a few different methods to capture the light better, but nothing I do does the light justice.
The naked eye can pick out the individual diodes through the welding lens, but the camera couldn’t capture it.

I look at the DE you applied to the soil…I do believe the powder should be more evenly sprinkled for the plants to get the most out of it.
It looks like there are spots of unprotected soil in couple of the pots and leaves left undusted.
I copied this from another cannabis.info web site…
"Diatomaceous Earth Pesticide Spray
One method of application for Cannabis plants is to create a spray from four tablespoons of food-grade DE per gallon of water. Be careful to measure the diatomaceous earth with a small scoop or spoon in order to reduce airborne dust particles. Shake the mixture to combine, don your spraying mask and mist the plants with a thin, evenly-distributed layer on both the top and undersides of leaves - aim for wet, but not dripping, foliage. This method is only suitable for plants in the vegetative to pre-flower stages, as those in the flowering phase will absorb the spray and it could potentially be consumed when the plant is smoked. Once the spray dries, the diatomite activates and becomes effective.
Dusting with Diatomaceous Earth
Another method for treating plants that are not fully flowering is to dust them from top to bottom with the powder. Using a shaker or dusting canister, shake a fine layer of diatomaceous earth onto morning dew-covered leaves; otherwise, spray the plants with water, shake off the excess liquid and then dust them with the powder. Again, once this mixture dries, the plants will be treated against insect invaders. If using the dusting or spray methods, make sure to keep the layers thin; otherwise, the DE could block our the sun’s rays, preventing photosynthesis. You may need to occasionally rinse the foliage.
DE Soil Treatment
For all-around protection or if the plants are in full flower, you may apply diatomaceous earth evenly to soil that will not be disturbed for a few days, either in a thick ring around the base of plants or plant pots, or across soil beds. Additionally, be sure to reapply after irrigation sessions or rainstorms. Sprinkle a liberal but even layer of DE around infested areas and grow room/garden access routes, while protecting your mucous membranes from any airborne dust from the product. Diatomite is hydrophilic (attracted to water), so it could temporarily irritate your eyes, nose and mouth if precautions are not taken. It may be a day or two before any effect is noticeable, but infestations from pests like fungus gnats can be controlled with proper application and DE may be used as prophylactic pest control. Soil growers will find that using diatomite is an effective way to control water saturation, much like perlite or vermiculite, and it also provides a good source of silicon. Silicon is essential for healthy, strong plant cells and tissues and helps to make the plant resistant to environmental stresses. Oxygen circulation is optimal, plus water and nutrients are retained while the substrate drains effectively. Growers with soil gardens usually mix one tablespoon per gallon of dirt; just be careful if you also regularly use humic acid.

I agree with El Kabong, I think it’s bad practice taking indoor plants outside, but that’s just my opinion

Holy bat guano, dude!
That was an amazing bit of information that I didn’t know! I’ve always just dusted with it by blowing it out of the palm of my hand and then clapped the rest off!
I knew to use it, but now I know how to do so properly. This is something that many people on the forum would benefit from. I think it would be a great idea to open a topic for this to make it easier for those looking for information on DE!
I’m very thankful for your reply. I’m just not sure if enough people will be able to find that gem in this rough. I’d link to it, if you don’t mind and decide to do it.
I haven’t seen you much, how have you been? Must be in some conversations I haven’t gotten to yet.
The other day I had 100 new topics to read. I looked at the count today and it’s 165! I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to catch up again. Lol
Not really funny, but lol anyway…

we were babysitting our grandson yesterday, a snow day, and he gets 110% of my attention.
I had to feed my plants before he showed up and I was confusing myself, rushing, converting teaspoons to ml, liters to gallons, gallons to quarts…then cutting the dose in half for their first feeding…I was worried they’d be dead by this morning!
I have 3-4 weeks left on my northern lights…here they are

I’m interested in the Northern Lights later down the road for more variety. I’m also curious about the claim that Purple Haze is good for chronic pain.
Edit…
Forgot my manners for a moment…
Those girls are beautiful! I’m hoping to do as well as that soon. I try to respond with the like button, but I tend to run out a lot, even at trust level 3. Go figure…
