Ok i know lots of people use t5s which are pretty much blue spectrum. I used the 6400 cfls then moved them to my sil LED which are mixed 5000 and 3500, they seem to be doing well 24 hours later.

7 weeks + a day of 12/12. Sensi NL, under either 51 or 54w total(don't want to unscrew 1 to see). The big bud shown is back on the right in the group shot. About 10-11" long, and F A T!!! Lol.

No ^^^^ not at all yours just me trying to maintain a "sweet spot" with my current sils i think itd be much more beneficial for me to use nets and try to even out the canopy instead of lettingn them stretch heavy into the sils like i did this round. I may grab spider farmer boards as well because i think the tech has what i like numbers wise

That's some great training. Very satisfying. It must come down nicely as well.

Thank you, that grafting tool is probably great for fruit trees but it was a waste of my moneys as I much prefer an Xacto when grafting with Cannabis. The grow tent is 2' x 4' x almost 6ft. There's 18 - 100w equiv SIL's over plant.

F-e Thanks brotha, yeah harvest time is always fun.

Starke - HAHA Thanks man, you're scrogapies are quite beautiful also.

Looks quite sativa ish.. reduce light by like 30 mins too an hour and give extra dark.

whats your mix of K spectrum like? Using any above 5k? if not i'd look for some 8k or 10ks for finishing the last week or so. still want a little 2700k-3500k but focus more on the Higher K for finishing.

I've not heard anything about the higher temp lights for the last week of flower. What does that do?

Spectrum is mainly 2700k..3000k..some 4000k.. i light from bottom with 4000k

Light schedule is 10/14.. so more darkness.
On week 10.. strain varies 9-14w. I have run with 10/14 for 5 weeks.
I will view all top buds tonight.. might run another 3 weeks.. 100% sativa..
