Oh really? Thats good to know! Mine is running a digital ballast. Seems like one bulb has been impact more than the other

Checked the old two bulbs and one has some grey parts over the element, so changed out the broken one and it’s reading 23.2dli instead of 24. So I’m guessing only 1 bulb was acting up

Bugger, bulb must’ve had a fracture on transport. Thought it was cold in there this morning lol Hopefully sender is kind and replaces/packs it better!!

No need to be! Breeders estimates are usually optimum conditions and most likely a fast finishing phenotype of that strain. Another 1-2 weeks on top of the estimate is typical for most autos

Looks nice and healthy but needs another 2 weeks maybe. You want all the hairs to be brown and receding

Hope so buddy as these seedlings are puny

Righto. New bulbs in and fuck me it’s deffo brighter! measured DLI and it’s gone from 16.2 to 24! Now let’s see how they grow in the next few days

I find any haze gives me that ‘haze’ effect behind the eyes and brain after the rush wears off

I do have an old hps/MH setup I could get out the attic but much more convenient with a new bulb lol It’s a double ended fixture so two 315w bulbs. Will keep these as back up!

All on point as per previous grows. 25-27c 60-66% humidity. Just planted in a light peat based potting mix and mycorrhiza added like always. Another thing I’m noticing is the stems are stretching on 6 different strains. Deffo a symptom of light issues. What did you notice about your aging lamps?

Light is fixed. I guess I could get a lux meter to take the guesswork out of it. Raising pots k could do but this may be an indication the spectrum is off? I was reading somewhere that the blue spectrum is the first to go in cmh Argo bulbs which would result in slower veg I’ve ordered a couple...

Thats what I’ve seen quoted just wanted some personal experience from it. My bulbs have only done between 10-12k hrs

So I’m just starting a new batch of seedlings under my 630w CMH. I’ve noticed the growth seems to be way slower than when I first used the light. Even slower than the previous grow. Bulbs are about 3 years old and have been used at 20/4 for about 5-6grows. Anyone know how long these bulbs last...

Sounds like they are lacking something! If you aren’t feeding until the soil is depleted you’re chasing up with nutrients. The way I see it is that bottom leaves yellow/die it’s lacking that nutrient. Tops yellow, burn and die then it’s most likely salt build up. Since you are feeding lower I’m...

Few things to know. Do you feed every water? when do you start feeding? Is your water soft or hard? Do you feed to runoff once in flowering? Do you feed to run off in veg?

60f @ 60rh is what I aim for. Extraction on low and no fans. Takes about 14 days If they are smaller they will dry quicker so you need to lower your temp if possible and up the humidity a bit. Also control your exhaust as a strong extraction will create a fair amount of air movement in the...

Well my brother and I had the exact same set up and same strains yet most of his produced this grapefruit like tone. Mine produced more cake like aromas. I’m aware of pheno variation but this wasn’t it. Even now he often gets grapefruit tones. Led me to think that the natural yeast present in...

Yea CMH has been much easier than LED for me as my ability to control the environment is limited. There’s so much influencing our end product it’s crazy. I have a theory that even the natural yeast present in the air effects how bud cures/matures

That’s pretty interesting! Have you tried CMH lighting to see what kind of flavour that influences?

I find I can smell/taste all the flavours in weed! I also smoke tobacco. My sense of smell/taste was diminished for like 2 years after Covid. It was so bad I could stand over a fire and sniff the smoke only to get an indication of something up my nose… Almost back to 100% now which is awesome...
