I will post current for you though Riddleme.

I noticed for some reason my seedlings collapsed today, I keep the tubes really close to reduce stretching, I dont know why they are doing this. I hope they recover.

And photo of current flower, Super lemon haze, from 4 different seeds. Its almost harvest time, I use the Main-Lining technique, next go around I will also Low Stress Train.

You're probably right, I haven't watered them, but I soak the soil before I plant the seed so it won't dry out. The soil was still wet so I uncovered it to let it dry a bit.

I'm trying to decide if I should get a small led for veg, or go with T8s. I run so small scale I think either should work better than the t5s

Okay. I'll just try LST this go around. I definitely want to upgrade my veg lighting. I'm torn between trying your veg setup or going with an LED.

So with the gaslight veg, how long after seeds sprout do you start the gaslight cycle? And I'm nervous about it because there is only 1hr of light keeping it from a 12/12 flower cycle. That 1 hour is enough to keep it in veg mode?

Lastly, for veg if I do a 4bulb high output t8 setup with 1coral plus, 1true actinic, 1 5600k, and 1 4100k... do you think that would rock my 2 plants? Would you suggest something different?

Thanks Riddle, I'll stop bothering you

I read your whole thread on the truth in flushing on rollitup via your link from growhappyplants.com. I am interested in the boiling technique but I grow in soil I plan on reusing (I don't want to kill the microbes). What would you suggest? I Normally I dowouldn't flush at all. (I use supersoil/foxfarms and feed only with water all during flowering)

Here are my current Trics and a flower, I am at 10weeks 5 days.. getting antzy to harvest but I want my trics to mimic your example F. I hope to look for early amber trait in a pheno someday.

Note: usually I chop, then hang plants upside down while inside paper grocery bags for ~2weeks, then into glass jars. I'm willing to sacrifice the soil if the boiling works toward a better smoking product

IMO your harvest window is open, if you boil and wanna reuse the soil there are many ways to re-add microlife, I use Bio-Tone in my soil-less grows :biggrin:

Boiling tomorrow, chopping Saturday. Super excited.

Riddleme you have convinced me to go with t5s for flowering, how many bulbs would you recommend for running just 2 plants?

I'll be using my 700wled for veg once I purchase the t5s.

I'm also considering a diy cob setup with t5 supplements being true actinic/ coral plus bulbs.
Decisions decisions!

I would rather ask in a private message but I'm simply too new, and you are too knowledgable to pass up.

If I have 3500k led, (spectrum on this pdf page 8. http://www.cree.com/~/media/Files/C...Modules/XLamp/Data-and-Binning/ds-CXB3590.pdf . )
Would you supplement with Coral plus bulbs still? The true actinic peaks in 421nm and It seems to pick up where the led does not. But the coral plus peaks around 450 and the led seems to cover that. Am I missing something? I'm really interested as you say the coral plus is great for tric development. Would you recommend any other bulbs for spectrum coverage? Thank you for the time Riddleme.

yeppers, have always said that if I was growin commercially I would use and LED in the center with 4 T5 fixtures surrounding and I would use deep blue (corals) & Actinics, properly done each light setup would cover a 10 X 10 area

I have yet to see an LED light I would give up my T5's for :biggrin:
