InTheShed Grows Inside & Out: Jump In Any Time

In that article? My eyes must have glazed over before I got to that part! Can you copy and paste that section?
 
I went from blurple to white and did not encounter a black hole.
 
Neither did the rest of my plants. And your opinion on the tent idea is...?

I think it’s a fantastic idea but not temporary haha! Your daughter may find a new passion when she gets back from school lol

Thanks Dutch! My daughter's bedroom is about 10x10 so I don't think she'd take kindly to the tent being there upon her return.

Two votes for wait and one for the tent. One for glazed eyes, one for continued research into plant biology, and one for Soundgarden.

This list is growing more and more complicated!
 
I grow in a tent. Less bugs. Dust controlled. If I had the option to grow outside I would, but those plants would stay out.

In and out here is a good way to get bugs in everything. I still want to try a small outdoor auto.

All good to know but it doesn't answer the question I asked nobodyhere! I was asking everybodyhere whether I should wait longer to see how Sour G turns out, or get a tent so it can go back under the MarsHydro 300 where it seemed to be happy, along with a few other details I'm beginning to think you didn't read...:rolleyes:

I vote you get the tent. Even if you wait another day or two to see if the screen helps, you may want to have a stand-by in case it doesn't.

True! Though I think it's too late to order for Friday delivery now so that means I could delay the order until Friday and still have it Monday. Looks like I'm waiting a couple more days either way...

Lol! Shall we start a spreadsheet and graph? :rofl:

I learned that from you. :nomo:


I’m still geeking on the ion exchange tho. But seriously, the portion where I think you are possibly on to something is below”

The light-dependent reactions begin in a grouping of pigment molecules and proteins called a photosystem. Photosystems exist in the membranes of thylakoids. A pigment molecule in the photosystem absorbs one photon, a quantity or “packet” of light energy, at a time.
A photon of light energy travels until it reaches a molecule of chlorophyll. The photon causes an electron in the chlorophyll to become “excited.” The energy given to the electron allows it to break free from an atom of the chlorophyll molecule. Chlorophyll is therefore said to “donate” an electron (Figure 5.12).
To replace the electron in the chlorophyll, a molecule of water is split. This splitting releases an electron and results in the formation of oxygen (O2) and hydrogen ions (H+) in the thylakoid space. Technically, each breaking of a water molecule releases a pair of electrons, and therefore can replace two donated electrons.
Figure_05_02_052.jpg

Figure 5.12 Light energy is absorbed by a chlorophyll molecule and is passed along a pathway to other chlorophyll molecules. The energy culminates in a molecule of chlorophyll found in the reaction center. The energy “excites” one of its electrons enough to leave the molecule and be transferred to a nearby primary electron acceptor. A molecule of water splits to release an electron, which is needed to replace the one donated. Oxygen and hydrogen ions are also formed from the splitting of water.​
The replacing of the electron enables chlorophyll to respond to another photon. The oxygen molecules produced as byproducts find their way to the surrounding environment. The hydrogen ions play critical roles in the remainder of the light-dependent reactions.
Keep in mind that the purpose of the light-dependent reactions is to convert solar energy into chemical carriers that will be used in the Calvin cycle. In eukaryotes and some prokaryotes, two photosystems exist. The first is called photosystem II, which was named for the order of its discovery rather than for the order of the function.
After the photon hits, photosystem II transfers the free electron to the first in a series of proteins inside the thylakoid membrane called the electron transport chain. As the electron passes along these proteins, energy from the electron fuels membrane pumps that actively move hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient from the stroma into the thylakoid space. This is quite analogous to the process that occurs in the mitochondrion in which an electron transport chain pumps hydrogen ions from the mitochondrial stroma across the inner membrane and into the intermembrane space, creating an electrochemical gradient. After the energy is used, the electron is accepted by a pigment molecule in the next photosystem, which is called photosystem I (Figure 5.13).

A lot to digest but if chlorophyll a or b aren’t getting the right wavelengths of light the chlorophyll will not process the light energy to release the election to be captured by the electron receptor

Just like third grade spelling easy peazy

So you're thinking that some plants are less happy with the white 3000K photons and prefer the blue/red tuned photons?
 
As much as I'd like you to get a tent I don't think the light is the problem. I wouldn't have put that screen over it after a heavy feed. I would turn it up so it can use those nutes the way it should. Photosynthesis.
I go from my purple Mars 1200 to my QBs damn near every grow and if anything they look happier in a day under the QBs. Just what I've noticed in my garden or my 2 cents.

I am thinking so, but It all goes back to genetics. I’m sure you’ve compared the light wavelengths from the manufacturers and have split all the hairs you can as I would too. if you get the girl isolated and under the old light and she perks back up that would verify it.


Time for an edible....
