re: Brightlight's Strain Fest - Organics & LED
Green is mostly for the grower.....so he/she can see plants in natural light BUT I recently learned that there are some studies from Japan that showed the plants do in fact use green light, & that it is beneficial.
Not by design grimm but outdoors I've had to do some weird stuff to control size & height. My outdoor height "limit" is ~7 ft. I had an Alaskan Ice from Greenhouse that I had to bend 90º so the main stem was parallel to the ground. It flowered horizontally. She also had the Dr. Grinspoon type buds. Wispy & very un-pot like for those of you not familiar w/ Dr. G. Good thing because the lighter buds weren't heavy enough to snap the horizontal main stem. Dug up a couple of pics taken soon after the initial bend (stem visible if you look).....she continued growing sideways for several more wks. Eventually she needed additional support. Heavy yield despite weird buds & actually one of the better GH strains I've tried. But not a GH fan...these were gifted seeds from patient who wanted me to grow it for him.
Well....easy to see you're a dedicated crazy ass grower w/ plants, seedlings, clones coming & going inside, outside.
Except for the high % sativas....I'm beginning to think that 100% growth during transition is too much...that I've messed up my soil ingredients or not quite feeding right. I'm trying to avoid that massive stretch indoors....will see if I'm on the right track w/ latest batch in flower.

Because BL the laundry grows going in the yard and that gives me room to put more clones in the laundry. I figure take clones off the OG and the Chem dogs and the Gorilla glue. Maybe they turn out fire!!It will be good practice at the very least. I was looking yesterday at the plants to pull from the tent for more flower room. I figure the shortest. What fun! My friend who gave me the lights asked when I was going to flip and I said this Sat. He said you know they double. Im thinking he thinks theyre too big already and their a foot tall. They will need more room so decisions decisions on which to flower outside.
Thanks Grimm, Ive got plenty for the yard this year. If I do pull clones from the fire they will probably be part of my next tent grow Im thinking!!
Great day!
