Very nice grow @Vador. Some truly stunning plants . I cant wait yo see the results.

Cheers @Keeno , they should be some nice buds but just unfortunately not enough of them.
Something is holding me back but i just can’t figure it out

The girls have been hanging for a week and are drying out nicely, should have a trim bin arrive tomorrow ready for action.
I don't thing they will last the full two week dry but it is what it is

[Vador]

Trim tray arrived today so made a start with the harvest. Same as last grow so far, nice dense top nugs then a load of fluff underneath, only on the first plant though and i picked the smaller one that was back left in the tent, hopefully the other two will be better.
Smoking a joint of this now though and bearing in mind its had a week and a half hanging but it smokes well and tastes good, been vaping rosin already today though so not sure what the high is like from this yet.

What am i doing wrong, why are my plants just not producing. Used to get monster buds without even trying, nowadays I struggle.Am i doing something wrong with these led lights. Is it something to do with this house, since moving here my yields have dropped. Is it nutrient related, i just dont know but its driving me mad. So many variables but im consistently getting low yields now.
Naranja biscotti was grown under t5 then flowered under led, that produced just under a lb, since then veg has been with v bars. Who knows, frustrating though

You ever used a sensor to test PAR or anything? Maybe you could turn lights up a bit more

I must admit I haven’t lately, when i first got led was using an app on my phone, went on a look out for a ppfd meter but they are way too expensive, i was under the impression par isnt the right measurement for led?

Basically just been going into flower running lights at about 50% and about a foot from the canopy, as the weeks go on i jack up the power till it peaks at about 80% max but normally end up raising the light a bit as well for better spread.

I think maybe i should just bite the bullet and get a par meter, better than nothing i guess. Hmmm arduino ppfd meter perhaps?

I think only an expensive quantum sensor like the Apogee ones can test PAR, but a cheaper method is to use a lux meter and convert the LUX into PAR, but I'm not 100% on this.

Nice, thanks for the link @biosynthetic, ill have a good read of that when i sit down later

Yeah i think your right about the meters, most of them seem to be lux

[Vador]

Those appogee meters look nicely built, bet they arent cheap though
