Hi All,
My second ever Journal, for my future reference.
Two C99 and 2 purple trainwreck from Humboldt.
Interesting thing about the trainwreck is they are from one free (old) seed and the seed spit out two undersized seedlings. Took a while for it to germinate pretty freaky seeing two. One was super runty but planted it anyway.
Very slow to start and slow growing, they will be moved out of the tent as the C99's will take up all the space for flowering. (50X80cm footprint).
Started the seeds a few days before the new year.
Have been using a single 100W 7band COB with 2 CREE XML of around 6K until a week ago.
Added a custom LED chip I had made a number of years ago but never used.
This is where it gets a bit interesting.
It is a COB with 3 strings controlled separately.
They did not produce it as requested (as 5 separate strings and the red/blue strings spaced from each other).
What this means is there is 30Watts of blue on one side and 22Watts of RED on the other side.
With 6.3 Watts of IR bang in the middle.
Anyway added the lens'ed custom COB bang in the middle of the two C99.
After a day it looked like the plant getting the RED side was bigger
Let it run like this for 3 days and the plant getting the RED is heaps bigger.
Both plants should be seeing the same amount of IR.
Have swung the light around so that the smaller plant is getting the full dose of red.
Hope it may even out the plant before the lights are swapped out for two 100W 7band COB's which have switchable Blue /Red set of LEDS. (an additional 36 X 42mil blues or 36 X 45mil 660nm leds)
(40 odd watts of deep red.)
This grow will be similar to the first grow I put on line, in this case hope to flower with 14/10 using IR to kill off the Pfr, convert to Pr.
cheers

which means the tent will have to come down.
for a blistering finish.... maybe
