It’s P.L. Light Hortiled. When they move to flowering you have to start at 48" but they harden off in time. Last time the tops reached 15 inches away without bleaching, after slowly growing into the light. But if you start them too close, even 30-40" they can bleach. maybe it’s the combination of intensity and shifting to 80% red spectrum from a full-spectrum veg light.

Beautiful hybrids. You always grow perfect specimens. That bleaching effect is bizarre.

thanks! The bleaching doesn’t really affect anything other than aesthetic value. It’s annoying because it occurs right at the start of flower but it’s in your face until harvest as a reminder “you fucked up”. 
It took me a year to figure out that it happens at the beginning. When you harvest a crop the tops are only 2 feet from the lamp and everything’s fine, so I bring the next crop in and move them close to the light, it seems right. But you have to start them way down low and let them grow up. I found this on the Kind Led website, this advice is spot-on for my lights too:
When first introducing LED lights to new plants and clones, it is recommended that the intensity be turned down to 50% (on the K5 series) or that the light be hung 48” or more for the first 3-4 days. After this initial break in period, we then suggest lowering the light 4-6” every couple of days until the desired height is achieved.

just past 6 weeks now, day 44 update. Fan leaves have begun the fade-out. OHS X Hurkle looking and smelling good, but starting to throw some nanners, meaning the seeds w/ Cookies will be bird food

Great info @Muleskinner. Gonna log it in my “big red book of acquired knowledge.” Much respect!

Not all LEDs are like this, these are red/blue diode lights and narrow beam angle - 80 degrees. Something like Fluence w/ 120 degree angle and broad spectrum is more forgiving, Solstrips, etc, they are designed to be closer to the canopy. But even these can be close if you do it slowly, closer than my 600w HPS for sure.

interesting colors developing on this one at day 48, must be the Querkle influence. The leaves aren’t crispy and brittle yet, but are still changing color.

Orange Hill Special X Hurkle came down today, super compact and leafy, with big flowers hidden in the leaves. Smells more grape than orange.

It’s been a minute since I’ve stopped by the oasis. Looks like you’re rocking right along. Those look like some nice fat buds on that OHS x Hurkle cross.

here is the Space Candy. Yielded a little low because I didn’t have time to veg it properly. Still managed to get pretty big, nice calyx-to-leaf ratio and purple color. still bearing the scars of “photoacclimation” unfortunately.
Oasis is shutting down for the summer to avoid the bugs! Will start a new thread a few months.

Dynasty “Crater Lake” in the house! Abstinence didn’t work out so well. 
Set up a veg tent for summer action…sealed everything but the bug-screened intake vents…turned the Hortiled spaceship down to 70 watts…
