first month of bubbleponics

Yes I do and the buds do get bigger but they might have done that if I had left the lights on so it's not scientific that it helps. This time of year may be different. With the lights out it's going to get cold in the room and that helps with trich maturity. Sort of a headlights on if you know what I mean.

i also heard about changing back to the blue MH spectrum of light for the last 2 weeks of growth cause it stops the crystals from degrading. the orange HPS spectrum of light degrades them faster from what i have read. any opinion on that. my friend did it and noticed that a very very small amount of his crystals turned amber. instead they stayed milky and the stalks of the tricome bent over.
 
I'm thinking that MH that late in flower may slow down flower developement as the plant uses that color light to veg primarily. Not saying that is bad all the time but the last two weeks are the last two weeks and I like to let the plant ripen fully at that point. May be good if you need to delay flower completion for some reason. I mix the spectrums in flower with cfl's added to my hps.

ya i do the same, i got my 400 hps and a couple cfl's. there is also a 48 inch T8 4100 K light in there to add some more less orange colour.
 
Then the balance is right and I wouldn't change a thing until you know your strain. Lots of things to factor in with a standard grow and so much is dependant on the growers particular situation. Growing is mostly trial and error with a few basics and/or guidelines.

well said. this is only my 2nd grow and this particular plant is my first try at hydro. altho i have done a ton of reading/watching video's and i have a really good friend that works at a hydro store so that is alot of help. plus all the ppl on this site who write the tutorials and how to threads.

pretty much do your homework and learn from mistakes. keeping records of things also helps a damn lot.
 
well..... i added just under half a gallon of water today, and then noticed about 8 hours later that i forgot to close the lid on the rez. hopefully not to much light got in the tank and things will be ok, but i will find out over the next few day's. plant looked good as usual before lights out so hopefully there wont be any affect.

more pix (of course)

8 hours light is no problem. Done it a couple of times myself. Smoke a bowl, do something, go to bed, wake up, left the cover off, oh shit, later no problem.
