You are absolutely correct, Irie-mon.
OK, a little backstory...first I'm going to show a budding plant about 3 weeks away from finish. Next I'll put up some pics of the general setup I've been using, and then I'll showcase some nice specific case-studies.
Keep in mind- 100% OF EVERYTHING IN THESE PICTURES is legal for medical use, ALL ORGANIC, and absolutely bare-bones. This trial was designed to simulate an outdoor environment and see what these LEDs are capable of without chemical fertilizers, CO2, additional air circulation, etc etc. In the spirit of this, the majority of the strains I started are outdoor/tropical outdoor.
LIGHT SPECS: First gen started under CFL (very unhappily, I might add), then rescued with just the 90W 660nmred 460nmblue UFO, Quasar Manufacture. This was effective, but with the distance away from the plants I've been keeping the light, and the amount of plants growing under it, I wanted a little more agressive growth before I switched to 12/12, so I added a custom Quadrate Rectangular 120W Light...has 660nm red, 630nm red, 460nm blue, and a splash of white in the mix. This addition made a HUGE difference, and within days I started seeing the telltale yellow-ing tips showing that the girls were digging it, and getting HUNNNNGRY.
Here goes- This first one was from a random beaster seed. If you've ever had the strain Cheese, this one smells similar (with a gold tinge), and has very very dense buds as well. I've tried to give different angles so you can get a better idea. Taken with macro setting so you should be able to zoom in pretty good on most of these.
ENJOY!
