Never played with the colored stuff tho

thing is alot of lights work well. in my case id rather devote the power to other parts of the lab. so ive developed a grow style flashing them with 30w+ blue LED.

Are you using any light at all after the flash?

Flash growing? How curious. How many flashes do they get? And for how long?

i grow in blacked out flight cases in dark closet when i pick i use blue LED for work light. if not picking ill just inspect the op for a minit or so with the blue light.
they get no light other than blue. as said, my flushes are par with anything ive seen or experienced with other lights.

what about the phototropism? Have you ever done any controlled experiments w isolates?
Did you get the idea for flashing from TMC (stamets), as RR mentioned in what i quoted?

i was growing for a few years before stamets book. was growing 20 years before i heard of RR. tried every type of light possible over the decades. early on i used lots of tubes of various color spectra
i began serious agar work when i started in the late 70s. every kind of isolate i could create from any spores i could get of cubes, and exotics.
frankly, i got bored fighting with the lights and realized its easy cheap fast just to spot them every day or so with blue.
cost has never been an object, with me its about heat /electric / space. i know alot of people grow in cold zones. i do not, heat from tubes makes a difference here.

Gotcha, im just wondering have you ever done any controlled experiments with blue or flashed light?
Like comparing the same isolate on the same conditions and sub, using 6500k vs flashed blue leds?

oh ya. most of the 90s was various light experiments. i tested all kinds of isolates strains and species with halides , sodium , LED, flouros. alot of stuff works . after years of all kinds of lights, i just sorta concluded i like LED blue best.
if i couldnt get LED id just use sun. ive seen lab accidents with flouros breaking. its a real problem if ya grow with flouros long enough. also, flouros degrade, and the heat . the sound bothers me from the ballasts.
at one point i had several sattelite grows going , same clones , some flouro some LED.
i suppose i could have experimented more with them . but im not sure how. growers are gonna use what they use i suppose. if i knew what i do now, and if LED was available in the late 70s, id have just used that and been happy.
sometimes i feel stupid looking back over the years spending thousands on lights.
