I think I'm going to write a book and you're my inspiration. I believe I can simplify and teach people how easy or hard this can be. gardening and "tomatoes" have made me a better person
His uploads are great for a novice/mid level outdoor grower in the Midwest . You warm weather single season state guys have no clue how good ya have it . Yeah I know move it permanently indoors but personally I'll never grow indoors or use hydro setup . Personal preference
I love your videos and am learning so much, thank you for putting these up for us. I have a simple suggestion for future videos, could you consider using a "mouse highlight tool" which draws a colored circle around the mouse pointer position to make it easier for us to see your cursor and the information you're highlighting? Thank you, keep up the great work.
@@DeBaccoUniversity I use a free tool from the win10 stored called "Mouse Highlight" when I'm doing demo videos for work. Just have to remember to start it before recording each time. Thanks again for the stellar content, looking forward to more videos!
Is it to use a more blue dominant light during veg in order to stack nodes and node density and then use the more red dominant spectra during flower? Looking at something like the Hlg BSpec for veg
Can you tell me why it is most important to keep the plant short and stocky during the veg period? Or is this more so a preference based on your growing space? I can see why as a seedling but once it’s in its veg period I don’t see the other aspects that are beneficial to a short stocky plant 😬 sorry I am a beginner
Stock Plant = Keep good PAR reading, favor blue spectrum, do not over feed nitrogen fertilizer, maintain good air movement to the point the leaves are moving. Hope this helps.
Been at it a few years and I agree there is no point unless you have limited space, from my experience, using mainly red (660nm) spectrum for veg and flower, works best, you only need to hold roughly 20% blue light for a couple weeks before and during the flip, so the budsites stack closer together. Weed will take all the light you give it so unless your looking for a specific type of growth then supplementing your full spectrum lighting with quality 660nm LED's is the best way to push to really high par values because it's electronically and photosynthetically the most efficient spectrum.
My early grow light has both a switch for red and blue..always thought the blue and white were proper for seed to veg...after watching this now I only wanna run the red side...Advanced Leds is the company, well was....
Reds are efficient for photosynthesis but can increase plant stretching if there is not also blue light provided. When in doubt replicate the suns general spectrum.
Twenty years ago , I ( and by accident ) used HPS & MH at the same time on a crop and pulled 46 Z's from a 5 x5 by 7 (Hydro) , , So.... Then I thought well both " Yes " at the same time ( but ) what if I use secondary times to turn the HPS on & off at keeping the MH on constantly through there day ? WORKED ! And worked to the point were I was thing , ,well🤔 in side I am the creator so... What if I changed other things ? When your sitting around just watching the dam grass grow ,why not mess around , see what you can see ?!? So........... What I did next is looked to see when they would droop or be tired , then I said " what if ........ And it went on & on ... The key is to watch nature , the sun and plants . Now today , well..

Thanks for the positive comment, best of luck going forward!

Many different ways to grow covered on this channel!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will have to see if this is an option or if it can be added to my recording software.

Thanks for the tip seems like an easy download.
Very interesting topic 👍thank you
Glad to provide quality content!

Yes. You are correct, and you’ll love the HLG BSpec for veg!
Your statement is correct, keep in mind it is about the ratio of blue to red and not necessarily just the blue or red output. (Consider the sun.)
Can you tell me why it is most important to keep the plant short and stocky during the veg period? Or is this more so a preference based on your growing space? I can see why as a seedling but once it’s in its veg period I don’t see the other aspects that are beneficial to a short stocky plant 😬 sorry I am a beginner

What is the dimmer used for if plants like most light?
This can allow for the intensity to be adjusted easily with out having to move the light, which can be helpful during the early stages of propagation.
oh Nice, thanks
You are welcome!
UVA tops out at 380 nm in wavelength, NOT 400 nm.
UVA (315-400 nm) based on www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK304366/ What source is saying 380nm?

Mr. DeBacco Listen up campers ,&' believe !🌴👍🌴
Thanks for sharing and your praise. Sounds like you were/are implementing the scientific method!
Very informative, it's great to see a résumé like this one about light spectrum! 👍Just one small correction, Shane's company is MIGRO, not MICRO 😉
Thanks for the correction, missed this at the end, but great to hear the information is appreciated!
