Tilts at Tables
Photon taming put us back on track. This is the BloodyRomGF that had an acorn for a tip only a few days ago.
Goodbye Asparagus !
The green is fading as the white returns.
I am spoiled with this even canopy.
I am spoiled with these fancy new dimmable ballasts
Re-positioned and measuring the three most intense points to average 1000ppfd. With 1500 W between the two bulbs the fall off is acceptable.
;if I was running the full 2K I could raise the lights up and perhaps get better coverage.
25% more power costs
25% more heat
it's diminishing returns, I don't think I'm going to get 25% more bud.
Did make a conscious effort to run cooler tamps, this round. Weather is milder, I have more precise control. When is 30 below you just shovel on the coal and pray you don't freeze where you stand.
Shoulder season is the best for my indoor growing.
Sept-Nov and Mars-May.
[ this warrants further investigation ]
Daytime temperatures are up, and have been getting away without running the heater much. Gives me rope to muck about. Trying to push down dark temps. Humidity will invariably rise to 65% if I dip below 16 Celsius, so that is where I have been drawing this stupid line.
Nothing but powdery mildew in Root Cellar conditions.
Anywho, the temps ,,,
I wanna try to darken some plants, just to enjoy the fall foliage. I don't see any fade like that, anymore.
My first few grows were in my basement Nursery, I always got a good fade in there: purples ,yellow, orange ,blacks. Since I moved out to the garage my plants always finish green.
The nursery did not have a heater. In the dark, the house would keep the garden above 12 Celsius, and the humidity would come creeper over %80rh, the longer the lights were off.
Growing now, in the garage, I force hot air under the raised beds. Roots staying above 17C, humidity below %40.
Got fade and PM in the basement. All green and never PM in the garage.
The only other difference that I may speculate upon is the addition of rabbits to our family. I have been sweetening that compost pile and tuning my mix for years now. I am still using the same bottled Nute regimen that I have been using since day one, @25-50% of the manufacturer suggested dosage.
I don't know why I want to blame N, but perhaps I'm overspending/overproviding on it ?
Not complaining, I may have the mosy greazy girl I ever laid eyes on, growing in the garden- right now.
These frost rails could get me banned from the entire internets.

Same plant all.
Just messing with the white balance
What you see is what I get; these sick-ugly unicorns never over produce.
We saw it coming. This girl will finish second to none.
