@bosgrower, my first smoke of this was the scisor hash after wet trim i almost called an ambulance

@Reaper, I think people are misled by the THC % .. the real power of this strain is the terpene profile. It's a very pleasant smoke for fun but if you have muscle spasms it's a blessing in a pipe.

@Smowkabowl, Here's a good, right to the point primer on light measurement. https://www.growell.co.uk/advice/hints-tips/light-measurement-lumens-lux-par-and-micromoles Here's a reasonable meter if you really want to dial in what your plants are getting. https://www.amazon.com/Hydrofarm-LGBQM-Quantum-Micromol-Sensor/dp/B0055F59LA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1547665551&sr=8-1&keywords=quantum+meter And if you like to play with numbers, here's a conversion chart http://www.egc.com/useful_info_lighting.php

@Smowkabowl,A couple of thoughts on the fixture. Perfect Sun is a bit closed mouth on testing and actual performance. Another owner wanting to upgrade it with better COBs identified the CREE COBs as the cxa2520 series. Here's the link if you're interested https://ledgardener.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=563. Since the dimensions are 22 x 15, the 1200 μmols they claim may be a bit misleading. You may get that under the center of the fixture but it will decrease rather quickly as you expand that rectangle to the limits of your tent. Even with a 4x4 tent, if you lower the light to 18" as they suggest in late flower, plants not directly under the light are going to get far less photons than those directly under the light and you may even get some bleaching in the center of the fixture. While the following is not an equivalent example, look at the Spectrum/PAR tab and you will get the general idea. https://www.mars-hydro.com/led-grow-light/mars-pro-ii-led-grow-light/buy-marspro-ii-1200w-cree-256-led-grow-light-home-and-commercial-grows-for-sale.

@bosgrower, thanks for the looking in brother, I appreciate the insight. I grew a WCOG last year and although it was my 1st, I was lucky it even survived, it only got to 15 inches and only yielded but 21 grams. It is pure kush kindness, excellent smoke. That being said, I'm just hoping to keep improving with each grow. As far as the lights go, they are very powerful and the manufacturer recommends 60 inches for seedling and early veg. 48 to 36 inches for veg and early flower. And 24 inches and lower for late flower. These lights have 3 settings, 2 COBs, 4 COBs and 6 COBs. Along with different combinations of the Bridgelux panels. Last grow I think I lowered the lights too fast and stunted the plants and kept the plants from reaching a good height. So, this grow I started with 2 COBs at 60 inches (5 ft.). After germination and 3 days I turned it to 4 COBs at 60 in., then 6 COBs after 7 days at 60 inches. After 4 days, I started slowly lowering the light fixture (about 3 inches every other day). Right now they are at about 52 inches. I will continue to lower 'em until 36 inches from the canopy. After flowering starts I'll stay at 36 the 1st week or 2 then start to push 'em the last couple weeks or so. We'll see how it goes. Which brings me to an issue that may be light related. I'll be updating in a couple days and I'll get some pictures and post a question, but, I have a couple plants, one of them the WCOG, that the leaves are cupping under and won't flatten out. Do you think that may be a light stress issue or a nutrient or pH issue? Also, I did put some supports in to help until the stems started bulking up, which they did rather quickly this grow. I noticed last grow they really bulk up in the third week. This grow they bulked up even sooner into the second week and they are all good now, except Tangie which almost looks like a thread. Appreciate the conversation. Peace

@bosgrower,ok sorry I thought - fuck he sprayed them with pure bleach !
bosgrower
@BigDaddyK, 3% hydrogen peroxide. Safest thing I know of to kill PM. I’m getting UV-C lights to get rid of it completely.
