Ebbnflowr grows breeder cuts in an 8x8 ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Breeder cuts of grape gas, purple milk, Yuzu Sherb and pre 64 Runtz. 5 lemon fire Runtz from seed. The seeds look just as good as the breeder cuts so far I need to hunt more...
 
Right. What's your set up nowadays?

Idk I have high hopes for this system now that I think I have it dialed in! That's only happened once in hundreds of waterings. And besides that it's just pH down and adding some to water to the res once a day or every other day. Then changing the res water once a week. If I had a pH doser I wouldn't even really have to go in there once Im defol for the last time.

But here we are at the end of week 1.

Would you guys go ahead and start defoliating now? I've read you should try to limit stress during stress but then I've had some people tell me to go ahead and let her rip. It could slow stretch down a bit which would be a good thing as I'm worried about head space. Might even throw another trellis up idk. What do you guys think? Let them stretch then defol, or go ahead and do one now? View attachment 43379

Day 6 or 7 here.

I defoliated heavy a few days before flipping.
I defol and flip, defol again on day 21 or after "bud set"
 
I got mine from SweetLeafGrow and his buddy had it tested, it came back at 35% raw thc and almost 3% terps.
So it's definitely got potential.
Thats what's up this is my second run and I've been grabbing for that jar the most for sure from that harvest haha. This one looks totally different I was doing something wrong last run I think a little too much light.
 
I had the same cut of grape gas as SLG. One of the best strains Iโ€™ve grown in a long time!

Your whole tent looks ๐Ÿ”ฅ. Nicely done!
Thank you bro! Fingers crossed I can keep it up. I'm going out of town 4th of July looking for a plant sitter haha.
 
Pre64 Runtz from purple city throws down ..day 32..I've grown her once before and she if super tasty and loud. Amazing how different some of these cuts are expressing themselves compared to last run. I think I had my lights turned up too much. I turned them down a bit and started the far red before bed and those 2 have really been a game changer. Also switched to front row ag nutes. Plants love that shit so far.

Think that's it๐Ÿค™ this will be kinda my last hurrah for awhile. I'm expecting my second daughter beg of December and I won't have time for all this then.

@ebbnflowr - Very interesting read on the "reds" effect on your plants. What is the timer schedule you've settled on when utilizing these reds to introduce the "Emmerson Effect"? @Pipecarver - Same question on timer schedule. What have you settled on as being best for your "Reds"?

I dug out 2 sets of this: https://growdaddyleds.com/products/...mmable-meanwell-driver?variant=32506879606839 from my garage earlier this week. I am about to start running the lights in my 4' x 8' that is lit with a pair of Grower's choice ROI-E720's. Both these lights also have the UV/IR bars but I'll be using the "Grow Daddy" lights on a separate timer to induce the Emmerson Effect. I'm curious as to what each of you feel worked best for your grows.

Main lights go off 8 min before whenever your putting your plants to sleep. So for example I go from 6am to 6pm...I'll cut channel 1 off at 552, and channel 2 is the 730nm, I'll turn that up to 100 from 552 to 600...throughout the day, channel 1 And 2 are at equal percantages. and that's it. I started doing it in my big room I'm about to flip and everything including petioles turned green within a few days ( a lot were purple and red which I read is common under led).... I'm no pro, but I got this info from a podcast I heard mobile j on and he was swearing by it. I know he's a facility grower but there is not reason it to try to implement it if you can. I think it def makes a difference. Give it a shot homie ๐Ÿค™

I'm using the Grower's Choice master controller and it has a day break and sunset setting where in the morning, the main lights come on gradually over a half hour and then fade over a half hour at the end of the lights on cycle. I figured I would run the reds (8 minutes prior to that and then 8 minutes after lights out) but leave them on all day in between. I want to verify that I understood that correctly from your post and this is how you're running them.

I have a controller with all that stuff, I just haven't set it up yet. Id just have it start the sunset 8 min early, have the main ligjts go out, and program the far red to go 100% the last 8 min of the day....I don't add 8 min to the end of the day of just far red. I cut the main ligjts out 8 min early and just the red goes the last 8 min. Hope that helps.

Yes, that helps.

Was there any particular reason you settled on "8 minutes" as opposed to 10 or 15 minutes? Anything you've read or experienced that helped you determine that "8 minutes" is the sweet spot?

I was going to post these questions in a brand new thread but when I did a topic search, your thread popped up. I figured my questions fit right in with what you're already doing.

It's the time mobile j gave on the podcast where he was raving about how when they started doing this at their facility, everything started turning green and praying and that's what happened when I started also. It's the we the growers podcast on Spotify it came out like a month ago.

I can't remember if they gave a reason why they do 8.

I run mine for 15 min at lights out. I started flowering at 12/12 - 1 week later I went 12.5/11.5 now I'm at 13/11. The stretch is increased and the size of my leaves increased . and the overall look of the plants is better but that stretch grows me out of space.

I've found that if you can get some 450nm on them during the first 3 weeks, it really helps control the stretch.

Yes exactly but I use coco....

It's not too bad! Just gotta lower the res pH and add some water once a day and it's good to go! Don't need to water but once every other day during stretch then once day as they are swelling. I know hydroton is used a lot in these but I like the added benefit of being able to amend the coco. View attachment 42993

Thank you man yeah cleared out my storage room and rented a storage unit for all that shit and went crazy over the past year. Started growing last March and it's become an obsession. Still haven't had a run I'm 100% happy with.

And that is what drives so many of us.
I have NO complaints but you know, just a little better maybe.
