Dan confirmed everything I believe from the spectrum topic, to hanging the lights higher up with higher intensity. Best lighting topic video yet and watched EVERY episode on EVERY one of your channels you've put out to date !!!
Yeah I do the same after the seedling stage! Lights are 5.feet above full blast!!! Like he said when it's higher up it touches way more space while your plant is growing its growing all directions intil they detect something in there way like another plant or wall!!! This plant is amazing I did an experiment where I didn't defolate any leaves and I noticed the plant was using the leaves like fingers pushing branches away from each other, the crazy thing yet I have seen was there was some.leaves covering bud sites and if it can't help with pushing the plant will litterly eat the leave up,the leave will dry up & crisp up just for that lower bud site! Like Dan said the plant is alot smarter than we know!!

Thanks for sharing this, Chris! What an absolute wealth of information! I'm going to have to listen to it more than just one time, though...there was an awful lot to absorb, there! Enjoy! Be safe!
even if dan sells bad lights, which is far from thruth. i would buy them just because of the passion and respect he have for the plant. from his emails i found that we have same views and feel for the plant. so for me was no brainer. after fairly long info gathering about lights es300 v3 landed in my tent. and i must praise the availability in Europe. guys deal with all customs and taxes and all paperwork flawless. since that day my plants and es living happy. thank you dan for your super product. you made lots of people and plants happy.
got an e mail from Dan just today , wanted to make sure i caught the pod cast and suck up some learning on why i failed and how amazon junk helped me to learn more ... chris , rocks and gsc, electric sky 180-1 was gas , v-2's are near exotic in sweet stuff.. ya'll are the hoot today , peace out
I switched to 4 green sunshine es300 v3 lights in a 6x10 area and the results have been amazing. The speed of growth once plant is established is like a race. Nothing I ever experienced using H.I.D. lighting for sure.
Dan is such a dude! I’m running v2 and v3 of his Electric Sky ES180 LEDs and absolutely love them! nothing compares, in my opinion. Thanks for the content Mr.Growit!
V3 has more diodes and a little extra wattage, so it is brighter for sure (and more blue spectrum than the V2, which supposedly supports better finished quality?). honestly though, the V2 will give you great/comparable results. I’m growing in tents, so with height restrictions I typically dial both lights back to 75-80% power to avoid stress/bleaching, then week 5 thru 7 of flower, I push them to 100%. I’ve found that is the time my fruits/flowers put on the most weight
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodgrower I've always ran mine at a 100%?,I've flowered with it probably like 5 times nowadays i just use it for veg. I think i had it for like 3 years ,it seems like i buy a light every year i get so excited when I get a new light!
V3 will likely be on sale 4/20, do it up! I normally have the light 12-18” from canopy and dial back, but I will hang them high and run 100% the entire next run and see what’s up. 😎 happy growing dude!
Great show Chris and Dan. Id like input on something. The All Mighty Praying leaf. Is it harmony or is it stress? Ive heard arguments of both, so its still debateable? Good or bad? Thanks
Another great episode! We need to get Dan to build a bar style light from the Green sunshine company. I'm sure Mr grow It can influence him in some way. Keep the information coming! ✌
@@Trrenik0kb yeah, and apparently we're not allowed to see the specs on the HZN series without 1st massaging their taint (making an appointment) I very likely would've just bought a few of the HZN 6's if it weren't for that 😏🙄
for higher wavelengths beyond the visible spectrum (IR), do plants need the IR-source to be boosted in power output to do anything to the plant leaves? thinking the opposite of UV wavelengths, which require very little boosting in power to cause a photo response, higher lengths such as IR might need more a boost. that's just my impression, has anything been done in a lab to prove the needed output (for photo response in plants) on artificial IR devices?
Chris I love all the vids!!! I’m a new grower so far I’m on my 3rd run and everything seems to be getting better and better. It’s seems like most the lights talked about are for people who have bigger grow space. What about the 2x2 growers. I know the tech side is going to be the same but what led lights are great for a small space?
Great info. The only thing I would not totally agree with is the uv part of the video. Uvb is actually what you want to create more terps/oils. The more intense the uv ( and Uvb is way more intense than uva) the better. We have done lots of R&D on this. Higher intensity but with pulsing has a better effect on cannabis anyway. But that being said. Some strains like and some strains dislike UV spectrum.
Very cool! Can't wait to see what new things Dan has up his sleeves! I know you were taking some classes with Dr. Bugbee. I support his findings as far as science and Dan adds to it! Did you finish your classes and do you have any new info for us? Would love to see a new approach on a start to finish grow that uses all the new scientific findings and methods, most up to date lights, etc. including flushing, dark/light before cure, drying and cure! You have some people who have expertise on your shows, but what have you learned that you can share? We respect your knowledge too man!
So is he suggesting that if your grow lights produce infrared that you should use them for the entire grow including veg? I use quantum boards that have a vegging spectrum and a flowering spectrum. I’m now considering doing the whole grow on the flowering spectrum
It would be cool to make a version of the electric sky that’s a ft longer and twice as wide pushing like 660-700 watts or make it into a bar style light would be better love the lights regardless but would be cool
they have it, it's super modular. but for now only for commercial sale. look for it. i forgot where i saw it. think was on one email from green Sunshine.
Hey I had a photoperiod seedling one day get an extra 2 and a half hours of darkness (so a total of 8 hours and a half) and it didnt get that beginning part of light for the day like it usually did (so it had 15 hours and a half) instead of the usual 18. Do you think it couldve hermed from that point? I've been dreading the thought since I've had to kill a herm a few months back.
I'd say not likely An interruption during the normal 12/12 dark time would be more likely to do that...but extra dark time (other than shortening the amount of time to be productive during lights on) shouldn't have any negative effects In fact, ever since I learned that the main process that occurs during the dark time, is the buildup of the hormones that the plants use to build flowers once light is next available...I experimented with giving slightly extended dark times, and I'm quite sure as long as you have more than adequate light, and match that with water/nutes and CO² proportionately...that you can boost plant productivity to a degree
okay so he was talkin about having the light further away would be better than the intense close, what do you do when you only have so much space for instance my 10 is only 5 ft tall and I am I already in my second week of Veg, shes probably 20". so if I raised my light isn't she going to stretch towards the lights? therefore causing me to run out of room
Maybe try the 12-1 method for veg(12 hrs on 5 1/2 off 1 hr on 5 1/2 off) and then 6-18 or 8-16 flower method. From what I’ve read the 12-1 method decreases the stretch in the 1st 3 wks of flower. I haven’t tried this method but I’ve seen the research and numbers on it. The plants avg 50 to 100 more gr per yield…
Vertical. You can hang the bulbs and get 360 degrees of light and do a stadium grow with plants on tilted platforms towards the hanging lights. 3 IKEA shelves high for hanging 400 watts or 5 shelves if doing 1000w. I did vertical stadium growing years back on ICMAG. My posts are still there. Cant/no point in doing vertical with LEDs because theyre only good for horizontal planes, but with a 360 degree light source, you _REALLY_ should be doing vertical stadium growing. Flex the strengths, I was getting double the standard gram per watt of the era doing vertical with HPS instead of horizontal. I dont do organic or HPS any more, but here's what I was doing and it worked very very well (auto watering from a sump pump to 1/2" tubing(air hole purge for antisiphon) to drippers - worm tea every watering, 50/50 promix fox farm add cup worm castings per gallon pot size, 84F, 40%RH, dripping on plants below doesnt negatively affect them but try not, high temp dries them out fast)
have a question for Dan. I have some of your Earth Dust and i was wondering if 1 application of the base would be enough for a 90 day veg cycle? And do you recommend any other additives during the veg cycle like Kelp or something?
@@7munkee i would uplant it intil you hit the 12 gallon pot if it hits the 12 gallon pot and it still has spots to fill i would feed once i trasplanted it to the 12 gallon enough remeber it takes up too 4 weeks for the nutes to be avalable for the plant if you are using the flower nutes too put them in 2 weeks before you plan on fliping them and then aguin at the month mark of when you first added the bloom try to watter with a compost tea twice a month atleast
Hey Chris, Other than the seedling stage, why don't we want to give the plants as much PPFD as they can handle without burn? The Sun is over 2000 PPFD, right?
I think it's because over 1000ppfd is the point where more light makes less of a difference to plants. No reason really to double your electricity bill for maybe 5-10% increased yield imo.
@@omar.v Thanks for the reply Omar. I was wondering cuz I have 2 autos in my tent. One is in late Veg and the other in late flower. If there is 1000 ppfd in there then the Veg plant is getting way more than the 400 ---600 ppfd they call for. I'm wondering if that can hurt it. So far it seems fine.
@@gamblr5422 in my experiance it's totally fine. If there are any signs of light burn, it would be very obvious and show up on the tallest branches regardless of if the plants are in veg or flower. The only reason 400-600 is advised is to save on electricity.
So i got a question if plant cant tell green light what would happen if you say make strong green light during night any idea what would happen? Just thinking if could boost night growth
@Natural Creature but do you know the answer or have seen anyone try that like running alot if green light at night then regular light at the day. I think that would be pretty interesting
Does anyone know is their much difference in Co2 levels between a 4x2 grow tent (day time) with lights on, compared to a 4x2 grow but in a open grow room running at night ?
That is a complex question. Is there anything adding co2? To either room. Aka you or a animal. This will increase co2. Let's say I was growing a plant with 2 adults who sleep in the same room. This can increase co2 from 350 to 600ppm. However a tent doesn't benefit from me breathing as much. Its.... Well in a closed off tent.
@@skepticalgenious I can't afford a quality Co2 detector to measure the amount of Co2 in my grow space. I was wondering how much of a difference of having a large area my plants grow in compared to a tent. Lets just say im surrounded by a forest, how much Co2 do tress give out at night ?
@@12lippylucy well first take what I say with a small grain of sand. I grow outdoors my whole life. This is my own personal experience currently indoors. So my own set up is legit a cardboard box wrapped in the plastic Sarah food wrap. So it is sealed. If it's sealed you should add co2 in any form. I am doing a tedious yet super cheap co2. Yeast in plastic bottles. Add sugar when needed. Keep the cap slightly unscrewed to allow the gas to escape. Yet disallow other bacteria. I have kept this yeast alive for over 100 days. Although now it eats the sugar stupid fast. So if your in a open area. Or even outdoors. The co2 naturally at sea level js like 400. I'm not measuring cause I'm doing a grow for $80. 😂 however once i added it. I feel it was close to 1200. After it I could push nutrition and light and push that girl hard
The whole ir thing throws me off a bit. I understand that ir can be used for photosynthesis. What I don't get is that different experts are saying different things regarding its usefulness in grow lights. Shane and Dr. Bugbee have both said that it can provide boosts in growth and have also said that it's more cost effective to stay within the 400-700 NM range. Dan has been pretty hardcore on ir since he started designing his lights. What is your opinion on the subject? I'm looking for the work Dr. Bugbee has done which Dan is talking about but the only thing I'm seeing is from 2019. My understanding of that study was that it can be utilized but causes less response than just using a diode within the normal par range.
As far as I am aware the only true benefit to infrared is that it penetrates the entire way through the plant down to the lower Buds and leaves just like Greenlight does.
@@yrntthelibswipedofftheeart16 I mean Dan makes it sound like they enhance growth more than other NM wavelengths up to 5% by maximizing the mechanisms within its photosystem. I'm think im going to add some to my grow light and see if I notice anything.
@The Green Sunshine Company thank you for the reply. I went back and watched more of Dr. Bugbees videos regarding the subject to understand the science behind the subject better. I have ordered some to wire into my light to see the results. I already have some but I think I need far more to achieve any noticeable benefits. I had given thought to the subject before but moved on to other subjects. This video reminded me of it again.
If you mess wi5h any kind of camera and the exposure and brightness and you'll see how bright and extreme the sun's light is. I was doing this the other day and when the sunlight hit the leaves with playing around with my phones settings the light looked like some Sci fi movie where the sun's light is ultraviolet was hard for me to understand but our eyes and brains compute the world we see but the intensity of the light was far beyond what we see when the camera showed me we don't even precicieve the tree spectrum of the light from the sun. That's why outdoor grows if done right will be the best cannabis compared to artificial light
34:04 - I don't think he did say it was important to have an even canopy. He said it is a three-dimensional shape I would assume a bubble type shape coming off the light. If you want to be super accurate you'd want your canopy the same shape as the three-dimensional image of your light intensity.
42:08 ES-300 V3 "if you're running at full power hats off"?????? It tells us in the book you gave us with the light "make sure plants are accustomed to full power light before moving into the flowering stage" I have destroyed 4 entire grows now & still no idea how to use it.

Is there a place "HPS" in a new age growing. I have been wanting to change my 5x6 to led , aside from power (pure watts) is hps still good

I think it's because over 1000ppfd is the point where more light makes less of a difference to plants. No reason really to double your electricity bill for maybe 5-10% increased yield imo.
@@omar.v Thanks for the reply Omar. I was wondering cuz I have 2 autos in my tent. One is in late Veg and the other in late flower. If there is 1000 ppfd in there then the Veg plant is getting way more than the 400 ---600 ppfd they call for. I'm wondering if that can hurt it. So far it seems fine.
@@gamblr5422 in my experiance it's totally fine. If there are any signs of light burn, it would be very obvious and show up on the tallest branches regardless of if the plants are in veg or flower. The only reason 400-600 is advised is to save on electricity.
@@omar.v Thanks for your reply. Yeah, the younger plant still looks happy & healthy so I think you're right. It's going into flower now.
I need a Foxfarm trio for soil, Ocean Forest, feeding schedule. portions are very import5ant. I want to grow all organic.
Only big bloom in the trio is organic. They make happy frog dry organic amendments though, and Dr earth is OK also among others.
So i got a question if plant cant tell green light what would happen if you say make strong green light during night any idea what would happen? Just thinking if could boost night growth
@Natural Creature but do you know the answer or have seen anyone try that like running alot if green light at night then regular light at the day. I think that would be pretty interesting
What are the negatives for running 20/4
Does anyone know is their much difference in Co2 levels between a 4x2 grow tent (day time) with lights on, compared to a 4x2 grow but in a open grow room running at night ?
That is a complex question. Is there anything adding co2? To either room. Aka you or a animal. This will increase co2. Let's say I was growing a plant with 2 adults who sleep in the same room. This can increase co2 from 350 to 600ppm. However a tent doesn't benefit from me breathing as much. Its.... Well in a closed off tent.
@@skepticalgenious I can't afford a quality Co2 detector to measure the amount of Co2 in my grow space. I was wondering how much of a difference of having a large area my plants grow in compared to a tent.
Lets just say im surrounded by a forest, how much Co2 do tress give out at night ?
@@12lippylucy well first take what I say with a small grain of sand. I grow outdoors my whole life. This is my own personal experience currently indoors.
So my own set up is legit a cardboard box wrapped in the plastic Sarah food wrap. So it is sealed. If it's sealed you should add co2 in any form. I am doing a tedious yet super cheap co2. Yeast in plastic bottles. Add sugar when needed. Keep the cap slightly unscrewed to allow the gas to escape. Yet disallow other bacteria. I have kept this yeast alive for over 100 days. Although now it eats the sugar stupid fast.
So if your in a open area. Or even outdoors. The co2 naturally at sea level js like 400. I'm not measuring cause I'm doing a grow for $80. 😂 however once i added it. I feel it was close to 1200. After it I could push nutrition and light and push that girl hard
When the lights go out, the smell in the room changes. That must mean something to the plant. Any idea what?
The temp drops and terpenes aren't volatizing as much.
Chris, before the interview, if the person isn't lit well, maybe ask them to fix their lighting. A lot of them aren't lit from the front at all.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will request that in advance and will mention when we connect to film also.
Those cats tho ❤️
And this video is WHY I OWN A GREENSUNSHINE COMPANY LIGHT LOL.
I'll own some next year definitely
The whole ir thing throws me off a bit. I understand that ir can be used for photosynthesis. What I don't get is that different experts are saying different things regarding its usefulness in grow lights. Shane and Dr. Bugbee have both said that it can provide boosts in growth and have also said that it's more cost effective to stay within the 400-700 NM range. Dan has been pretty hardcore on ir since he started designing his lights. What is your opinion on the subject? I'm looking for the work Dr. Bugbee has done which Dan is talking about but the only thing I'm seeing is from 2019. My understanding of that study was that it can be utilized but causes less response than just using a diode within the normal par range.
As far as I am aware the only true benefit to infrared is that it penetrates the entire way through the plant down to the lower Buds and leaves just like Greenlight does.
@@yrntthelibswipedofftheeart16 I mean Dan makes it sound like they enhance growth more than other NM wavelengths up to 5% by maximizing the mechanisms within its photosystem. I'm think im going to add some to my grow light and see if I notice anything.
@The Green Sunshine Company thank you for the reply. I went back and watched more of Dr. Bugbees videos regarding the subject to understand the science behind the subject better. I have ordered some to wire into my light to see the results. I already have some but I think I need far more to achieve any noticeable benefits. I had given thought to the subject before but moved on to other subjects. This video reminded me of it again.
I use a lux meter. Whatever my lux is I just divide that number by 3.05. An that gives you your par number. Am I right?
By 64
If you mess wi5h any kind of camera and the exposure and brightness and you'll see how bright and extreme the sun's light is. I was doing this the other day and when the sunlight hit the leaves with playing around with my phones settings the light looked like some Sci fi movie where the sun's light is ultraviolet was hard for me to understand but our eyes and brains compute the world we see but the intensity of the light was far beyond what we see when the camera showed me we don't even precicieve the tree spectrum of the light from the sun. That's why outdoor grows if done right will be the best cannabis compared to artificial light
Hey Chris
Hey Latrice
Your Ac Infinity discount code is invalid for me.
If you're trying on Amazon, it's MRGROWIT15 ... Their website is set to MRGROWIT
KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont think the roots can hear i think he meant they can sense the water lol
Comment ( for the algorithm )
✌️✌️
34:04 - I don't think he did say it was important to have an even canopy. He said it is a three-dimensional shape I would assume a bubble type shape coming off the light. If you want to be super accurate you'd want your canopy the same shape as the three-dimensional image of your light intensity.
Or maybe you are saying that both being flat is ideal...
Dude you could leave a green light on 24 hrs a day and cycle your red and blue at 12 hours and the plants will flower.
42:08 ES-300 V3 "if you're running at full power hats off"??????
It tells us in the book you gave us with the light
"make sure plants are accustomed to full power light before moving into the flowering stage"
I have destroyed 4 entire grows now & still no idea how to use it.
Video is almost an hour long, posted 4 minutes ago, yet U got comments saying, "Great Video ". Does ANYONE EVEN WATCH 😂😂😂
