I think just like anything else, you just have to find what works best for you in your situation. I choose my full spectrum because I veg under them and what vigourous growth minus the undue stretch. But as i said if my situation was different then I probably would have no need for an...
I think you have made a very wise decision. Even with the regular seeds you really want to start as many plants as your space allows and then be very, very selective when choosing your P1 plants.
Good luck and we are only a post away.
The enchanement comes from the spectrum and not the lumens. It is a fact that a spectrum that provides more blue light WILL increase or stimulate more leafy growth during vegatative growth. Plants grown under HPS's from the jump tend to be more stretchy then plants grown under MH's, but they...
If you made these seeds yourself it is kind of pointless to put them in a list as such, as your hermie could be more the fault of your breeding practices as opposed to the original breeder. And that is not a knock on you, it just does not help me in my trying to avoid hermies.
I totally agree with Hick, there is no way to say what your seeds will produce, but the odds are not on your side. Also the big problem is that it is easy for you to miss a few male flowers while growing even a few plants of good genetics, which will ruin your entire grow, as it will all be...
LOL... That's it, what works for you now, works best. It is one of those things that just doesn't seem to take for everyone... Whats funny is that when I posted that thread it was the only thing that seemed to be working for me... Also I think you are right about the well water...
Yeah if your use a Hortilux Super HPS the difference in lumens is like 2000 lumens (a 15 watt CFL), but the spectrum on the Hortilux is much better. IMHO, any enchanced spectrum bulb is better even if it sacrifices a few lumens. The other thing to remember is that bulbs are usually rated based...
Too save you a lot of headache and your future grows from being overrun with hermies, I would not even consider breeding with feminized seeds, if thats what you mean by female seeds
I'm a bit confused, what type of pests are you trying to irradicate. Is this a foliar spray for mites or thrips or something, or are you using this as a soil drench for gnat larvae or what? The reason I ask is that it is basically counter productive to use any type of pesticide soil drench if...
They said they found me wondering on the side of the road, totally incoherant. :D ... But on the plus side after all the operations I feel like a whole new man.
Your finding Chemo harder to grow and less yeilding then SD??? What SD are you growing? IBL, ECSD???
Where did you get your chemo??? The chemo should be close to 100% indy and a lot heavier yeilding and easier to grow then the sat dom SD???
Good luck with your breeding
