I’m a believer in mixed spectrums, and currently have four ladies flowering under one horizontal 630w CMH fixture containing a 315w 4200K Eye Hortilux bulb and (obviously a ) 315w 3100K Phillips bulb, plus a vertical-hanging 400w Eye Hortilux enhanced-spectrum HPS which is in the center of my girls (directly below the CMH reflector). Growing in FF OF with FF trio, AN BigBud, occasional epsom salts and Blumats, in a 5x5.
Question: Is it possible this mixed spectrum is causing my plants to mature too fast? I’m at the end of week 3 and they are packing on weight, and now all four are starting to show red/darker pistils....this is four dis-similar strains, Choc. Mint OG, 1024, Blue Cindy and an SLH.
Last run, under CMH the SLH and 1024 both got to week 9 and 10 respectively, now its looking like week 6 or 7 if I’m lucky....no difference in setup other than the HPS addition. Why would the HPS speed up maturation like that? Or is it the vertical + horizontal combo? Thanks.
