Leaves color difference, LED vs windowsill

Diego_ · Feb 27, 2016

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share some pics of two clones. The first one is in a mini indoor with led 16/8 (the ones for your home 6000k), the other one in a windowsill with no direct sunlight 13/11.

Week 9:

Height:

Color:

Branches and flowering:

Any comments are welcome!

What strain are they? What kind of nutes are you using? Are these from seed or clone?

im sorta failing to see the point of this thread.

Just curious about the dark green of the one under LEDs. is that something expected?

I don't know the strain, this is my first grow. I just took some seeds from a friend.

They both are clones from the same plant.

It's all organic, I feed them w water, vermicompost and seabirds guano.

My Guess is that the higher power of the light of the LED versus the window causes a heavier photosynthesis because the plant can use the higher power light source to convert more clorophyl. Don't know if this is correct, but makes sense to me.

Make sense to me too. But would lik to be sure (just out of curiosity)

Higher wattage, and artificial rays. Our strains look greener under LED than natural sunlight.

Interesting comparison. It looks to me like, although the one on the window is not as large or as dark, the stems of each leaf are not nearly as purple.

Kudos.

Kudos.

Your empirical spirit is admirable.

Don't stop.

Is it the strength of the LED, or is it 16/8 vs 13/11 that's making the differences?

I'd love to have seen if they were both 13/11.

Have you noticed any other difference? at flowering? the result when smoke it?

Thanks man. Curiosity moves the world.

Sunshine = Lighter more emerald green plants
Indoor lights = Darker more forest green plants

And that info comes from...?

I made a transition from ESL to LED a couple days ago, and I expect to see similar change in color.

Stretchy light-seeking growth replaced with more compact and leafy one and also darker green.

Personal experience with tens of thousands of plants.

good to know.

It is interesting, I'm getting darker/bushier plants.

what about yield and smoke quaity?

the ones under the LED seem livelier do they not?
