Depends if you want the unbranded Chinese ones or the ones from the big name companies (many of which are sourced from the same Chinese factories as the unbranded). I got my 630 from growlights.ca for just shy of $600, I almost ordered the same one direct from their supplier on alibaba but the cost is only slightly less after duty fees and it would take 2-3 weeks longer to arrive.
It is only the one plant and I can't find bugs at all, even with a microscope (actual microscope, not a jewelers loupe although I tried that first). To properly id or rule out TMV I would need either a test kit or an electron microscope but I have neither. I was honestly shocked because I had never even heard of it before I started looking into what was going on with the plant. It hits new growth as well, whatever the pattern is while it grows is the pattern that stays with it until the leaf is full grown, it does not alter in appearance like it should if bugs are attacking it. It only appears on the tops of leaves but I of course checked both top and bottom of multiple leaves.
thanks for resizing it..i see variegation..if you used a microscope ..yes you are right you woulda seen bugs..
Something I should worry about or just let it grow with the others ?
Flash and DMan are right its interveinal variegation. No worries, it's not TMV. Verigation and leaf kink are mutant traits, but won't affect growth rate or yield much as I have seen it. I'll post a mutant trait I just discovered with leaflets growing off the petiole of a plant.
If you are talking about the NL auto's there seems to be 3 pheno's and they all have different time periods. 15-17 days for first pistils, started to preflower then stopped while they stretched like crazy. Today is day 32 and the 3 shorter narrow leaf pheno's are preflowering as well as the one broad leafed one. The tall narrow leaf one looks like it will within a day or 2.
Yea, last thing I want is another hermie or something. This happened because I got lazy, simply didn't check them the one night and it happened to be the night I should have watered them. Auto's seem to be pretty damn resilient plants but I still do not want to stress them too often.
