LED AFTERGLOW

Ok, the thread is the algorithm

But....

I know that by time there will be more posts of people asking questions and blaming anyone between light manufacturers, God and the neighbours

% thats where the feature might be helpfull for people in the future .

I like keeping a few good threads when peeps ask me and referring: thats why i asked for one final post above but i agree its not easy to get everything into one post or answer. I get the same with "Tell me a bit about diy led" and i just start wondering if its going to be me or the questioners eyes glazing over with the "too much..."-look first

Well, I don't know squat about electricity, cept it'll kill ya. Since I first noticed afterglow of this light, I've had more miscues in this one grow than in 5 of any others. Wrapping my head around the use of a controller and VPD caused : once light stayed on for 20 hours before realizing it happened. Kept lights OFF for 24 hours. Again later lights stayed on for an extra 6 hours.. And again 3-4 hours a third time. Couple times forays into the mid 90Fs for most of a day and many light on in dark time happenings.. all in the 2nd to 5th week of bloom nd other miscues. BUT! no signs of hermis or seeds.. Tooka bud last week (day 41 bloom, clear to cloudy trichomes) no sign of seeds. Yes EVERONE agrees some part of my household electrical ground is funky. But I did nothing and afterglow persists.. Might it be possible that afterglow might help sensitize the plant to light discrepancies? Or am I puffin up too much?

If the afterglow isn't enough to read a book, then the plants may of seen it as nothing more than moonlight.

Something must be happening around your home, or even one nearby. Some sort of ground offset, where it's not at neutral potential. Perhaps you use a ground rod, rather than the neutral conductor at the service intake. A shot of that main fuse could be useful. If an earth wire comes out that big block, I would be surprised. Perhaps instead, the big earth from your fuse board, just ties to some pipework that used to go outside, but it's now plastic in the street. The question would then become why anything is actually sending power to ground. It's often a PC, just doing what it should do. Though to be lighting your lights, this suggests no earth leakage disconnection device. I would like a look in person tbh, it's interesting. It's not worth a flight though.

No, Ca, can't read a book under it and it glows red/pinkish.. if it's not gonna affect the plants life style/sex why would I fix it? Am I more susceptible anything bad or more costly with a faulty ground? I will get to a pic of the panel and would appreciate anything you might see.. when I post it. thanks Ca
