New ViparSpectra Lights Powering Self Watered SIP Run

[Melville Hobbes]

Btw - on auxins - what if it were as simple as the physics of water in a vessel? Going vertically there’s more pressure on the water lift. Going horizontal eliminates that pressure and allows more efficient uptake. Would anything like that be a possible contributor? Sorry if that’s the dumbest question ever, lol.

@SmokingWings and I were discussing this in a thread about topping.
From what I understood the growth tips produce auxins, and they're sent down the plant and are at greater concentration the lower you go. They promote apical dominance inhibiting the growth of branches and promoting root growth. Cytokinins are produced in the roots and sent up the plants. They promote growth in the branches.
The plant normally has a balance of them, causing a normal growth pattern, and topping temporarily tips that to the cytokinins favour.
I'm sure it's way more complex than that, but that's how I understood it.

Ah! So it’s Red Sky x Runtz Muffin? Awesome. Since you have the skills, how about you make me a batch of colloidal silver so I can make some feminized seeds. Lol!

I can send you some of what I have now Jon. The recipe makes a big batch! The only thing is We won't know if I mixed it right until we do. If you want to take that chance I'll be happy to bottle up some and get it to you! Wait, I found the raw materials I lost and rebought. I can send that if you like.

2 dry powders. You got a scale that measures smaller than a kitchen scale?

Anything might be until we know otherwise Jon. Maybe. We think otherwise today though. It does look that way.

Hell i googled it and still don't quite understand what its good for >> Auxin concentration level, together with other local factors, contributes to cell differentiation and specification of the cell fate. Depending on the specific tissue, auxin may promote axial elongation (as in shoots), lateral expansion (as in root swelling), or iso-diametric expansion (as in fruit growth). <<

That'll give me a headache! Maybe @Light Addict ,the man who is the most likely to understand, can enlighten us when he gets a minute.

Lol @StoneOtter - I thought there was a slight chance I’d get you on that one! I should have known better. Thanks, I’m working with my Oregon Yoda on making some.

Nice try Jon hehe! Keep trying! I have a slightly different sense I guess. One day I'll get it! Maybe not.

I'm wired up like that Lerugged. Sometimes it can be weird funny.
I'm here to help.

[Trala]

I was more of a mess before I met you! I look to you for order friend! Clean and orderly is my goal! My wife would laugh her ass off to think I was told I was orderly btw! I'm not a linear thinker all the time and she is. That confuses her.

Neatness makes my heart sing! It really does.

Yeah? Do you have CashApp or Zelle?

 

[StoneOtter]

Yeah? Do you have CashApp or Zelle?

That's one more reason I love this place! I can be unguarded like that and not one person has contacted me to try and take advantage! Just regular offbeat weirdo stuff very seldom. I do watch everything and am nobody's doormat!

Lol. In what universe would anyone ever perceive you as a doormat? You’re one of the most solid and straight up dudes I’ve met on here. Much much closer to whatever the other end of the doormat scale is. Lol!!

Well thanks! I've had folks some asshats confuse kindness with weakness Jon. The takers of the world. You know them. None here!

I get it! I’ve experienced the same thing. The fun part for me is when someone goes so far out of bounds that I get to drop the hammer. Those are fun posts to write.

Hell you saw me take the high road when I considered my options in this very journal a few pages back!

JUST CATCHING ON UPDATE

Hi all, these babies are starting to root and get a move on! I can see they're growing and need some magnesium so I gave them 5 ml cal/mag down the fill pipes. I don't know how often I'll have to do that but have to figure it out. I'll start with once a week until told otherwise.
They look rough around the edges and are much more flexible than the first one. I had a hard time spreading that one out. These will be better to lst I'm hoping/thinking. They look better today than yesterday!

Branching has begun and I'm getting excited to lst these beauties into a nice grow!

They all chill under 600 ppfd of PAR being effortlessly sent their way from the pair of @ViparSpectra soon to be unveiled fantastic lights! Their ballast tucked away outside the tent to keep heat out. I'm really PARtial to these lights so far! They're multi step adjustable and have an off setting! The off setting is important to me. If you ever unplugged a light drawing full power you've seen the arc the plug makes. That's not good for the equipment. All off is something I'm all in with!

Have a great day!

Wow. Couple of them are tight! Looking good like they’re ready to take off. Question - how are you running the lights? As two? One each side with independent power and control? And can you run just one of each pair? (Not that you would, just curious).

Thanks! This style growing lends itself to clean for sure!

Oh yes! Looking forward to this.

They still lok sluggish but in a few days I think! The topping and lst are the fun part for me! Sculpting the future!

Go time

Winding up!

Yeah any day now for the break out surge! I'm running them seperate. Tall plants hopefully on the left and shorter on the right. Seperate light intensity control. I don't know about one of the pair. Conventional thought to me says leaving the circuit open and running them, may not be a good thing. When they become an open item to speak freely about I'll get that information. I'm interested too!
