re: GrowLEDHydro 300W LED vs. 400W HID Demonstration
Much Much better with the added light just for pics. really shows off how frosty those girls are! they are beyond frosty!!!! straight murder, fire, kills, dank, bomb or what ever you guys call it over their?lol.
I agree, it's a lot better taking pics with the same lighting. Makes comparing the groups much easier.
are the HPS girls "praying for mag"? or any idea why the leafs are sticking up like that? sorry if you posted this but how tall were these girls when you LST'ed them? how long did you leave them LST'ed before flowering and whats the total hight on the leds girls?
They're just happy, it's not a deficiency. If you look through all the updates, you'll see that leaf attitude in all the sets of HID pics. The LED plants have also been nice and perky, but haven't reached for the sky in that way.
I don't think it's an important distinction, just something produced by the different spectra and/or intensity.
One weird thing on this grow is that the HID plants, and to a lesser degree the LED plants, would sometimes turn a leaf or two upside down, as if the plant was confused about where the brightest source of light was coming from, but it was only one fan leaf or two, so it wasn't completely confused.
Maybe it's a PPP thing. I think it's cute
.
Can you tell I like this strain? lol
from the looks of things you just pulled them down a good amount and left them right? I am guessing you didnt keep pulling down that main top, and thats why you still got a main cola? Do you think this helped with better light penetration instead of having all the tops the same height?
I gambled and lost.
I would rather have had a more even canopy by bending the main cola over a second time, but I was counting on the main colas being mostly done with their stretch and I misjudged it.
By the time I realized they weren't done stretching, the stems were too woody to bend, so I blew my chance to have a nice flat canopy.
In order to even out the intensity over all the bud sites, I positioned the main colas out towards the corners so I could drop the lights down lower.
That seemed to work very well to compensate for my mistake, but I think the yield would have been better if I had tied them down a second time.
Both sets of plants got the same treatment, so that's not an issue, and I got to learn something about PPP that I can use to improve my future grows, so it's cool, but yeah, I wanted a flatter canopy.
I don't think it helped with penetration. It mostly made me get creative with positioning the main colas so that the most light got delivered to all the bud sites.
oh well, got some nice fat main colas out of my mistake, so could be worse, lol
My hats off to you SS that is one hell of a grow you got their.
coming from you, that's an extremely nice compliment, thank you!
