Something I noticed over the past few weeks, somewhat slow growth for what I thought I should be accomplishing in my tent. I was wondering why, and then for some reason it dawned on me that my light just was not as bright as it should be. I don't know why I did not notice, maybe a slow but steady loss in brightness is the reason I didn't notice right away? Not sure, but I replace the bulb with my back up which I was only used for like 6 weeks on a grow I helped with. I honestly don't know which is better if they were both brand new, one is a X-Brite and the other is an Artemis 600w. Supposed to be enhanced spectrum or whatever. I think both of them. But either way back to the point, I took the 600 I was using out, the light looking rather dim and all, and the sodium piece on the middle had much blacker ends than when I put it in before the last run. So that bulb didnt even last 4 whole months, guess I got what I paid for. I replace the Artemis with the X-Brite I had put away, and bam, 600w of illuminating fury back in full action. I knew there was something wrong the other day when I looked up at my light and didnt have to look away. So hopefully they will be doing some major catching up here in the next week or so and maybe still finish in a decent time frame. Though I know they are backed way up. I was keeping up with some people in flower at my stage but getting blown away by others. I knew there was something majorly wrong other than I need to add some myco's and hygrozyme to my plants life. I have good roots, but not great roots. I want great roots. I transplanted an Mk Ultra into a one gallon potter and will replace the Big Devil with it, when it is ready to come out, or more rather when I take it out due to needing something to smoke. Its almost done anyway, but I put it in for this reason, I knew I would really need something sooner than these regular girls would finish, thats where autos come in. Then a week or two after that a Violator Kush clone or a Galaxy clone will replace the Fast Bud. At least my girls are frosty as a mofo if not fat. But they will be fat. I knew it was not me making those buds grow slow. They have a much brighter future now. The lack of light surely did not hurt their resin production thats for sure.
