Benji's LED light test...

except for being so green,thats a good looking plant,do you know if they will yellow like normal during the flush or is the LED going to have some effect on that as well

Each gardener has their expertise in certain areas, and mine lies in aeroponics running a perpetual cycle. I am very inexperienced when it comes to soil, and because I run a perpetual cycle in hydro, I'm also inexperienced when it comes to flushing. Now obviously I've done a few grows in my time where I did flush plants and go through that whole bit, but honestly I NEVER saw or tasted any difference in quality with my plants, so I stopped doing it entirely. This may be due to me using organic nutes, or making sure my plants cure all the way (dunno), but it is what it is, and any of my friends who have smoked my weed with me, tend to agree...

Back to the question: some plants are more susceptible to stresses/deficiencies than others. I've noticed in my own garden, that strains like AK47 tend to yellow a bit towards the end, and even show a cal/mag deficiency, when my other strains are fine. Likewise, my purple arrow and ABC strains yellow out certain leaves along the way. Ice, Maui, and others, stay green until the very day you cut them. So while I'd love to answer your question, the answer would likely be different depending on which strain you plan on growing.

BENJI - that 1st pheno looks REALLY nice for being only 34 days into bloom. I can't wait to see what you do with a scrog setup either m8!

Interesting grow, indeed. I've always been interested in LED's, so I'm definitely sticking around to see what happens with this one. So far I like what I see.

thanks LEDgirl,that is an answer,and a good one.I was thinking of my previous question about the deep coloring of the plants being related to increased photo response from the leds,so was thinking more that it may be decreased to some degree by the lush health of the leaves.
thanks!!:tumbleweed:

Great Job Benji I don't think anyone could have done better.
