Hello everyone, I just wanted to share some pictures of my beautiful Divinorum plants, these babies are truly amazing. I have one in a deep water culture hydroponics and its just starting to take off, the picture is when i was cloning it. I plan to update with lots of new photos, i hope you enjoy.
Check out this progression

Hey cool set up dude.
Soon your have too much salvia plant and wont know what do do with them. I find they grow fast.
I use LED for the things i grow but i like to add a CFL just to make sure there getting all the correct light so you have happy plant..
Keep up the good work buddy

Update on plants, new rifiat seedling growing well. New growth of hoffman wasson and blosser. Going to be cloning the two and moving atleast 4 into a dwc bucket for future leaf harvest. For anyone that cares documentation wise I grow using a platinum led 150 watt 11 band light on vegetative only. It's set on a 16/8 timer. I use all organic nutrients for my soil based plants and general hydroponics series for my hydros.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the support, I took 4 clones today, 2 of blosser and 2 of hoffman wasson. Here is the leftover harvest and the new clones. My hopes is that I can clone right into the DWC bucket rather than using the 7/8 inch net pots and then transplanting to a 3 inch. I believe it will work.

AFAIK vegetative only is basically blue light, yours looks so pink (blue + red). I don't grow hydro yet but I do grow Salvia and with LEDs. I have blue + red units and a blue + white LED panel. The latter seems nice for vegetative growth to me, the white is good so that at least some of the secondary plant pigments are activated. Seems good to keep the photosynthesis / metabolism from getting too confused.
Anyway even in the windowsill under normal conditions Salvia can look a little purple to me like in the stems, but when I put it under LED light with nothing added, it was very noticeable in leaves as well. Also the leaves looked way more broad and bold, etc.
Say, what would be proper hydroponic medium to try on Salvia? Will small size transparent pebbles be fine?
When Salvia cuttings are rooted in water you get water roots first, correct? And more normal roots when you then get them rooted in soil. So in hydroculture salvia keeps making those water roots and can grow well and healthy on those??
Cause in that case Salvia would be one of the better suited hydro plants considering its asexual ways of spreading..

There are about 6 important peak wavelengths for optimal plant growth. Three of them simulate summer, the other three simulate fall. They all target Chlorophyll A and B and the Carotenoids. The colors for summer are around the blue and violet spectrum. Fall has red and orange spectrums.
Due to the nature of LEDs and man made lights in general, it's impossible to target a specific wavelength, though you can get pretty close within a few nm of the desired wavelength with current LEDs.
Also, it should be noted that wattage and lumens is unimportant when it comes to growing with LEDs.
