PM,

I have noticed some leaf burn from getting my nutes on the leaves, I mist them right after fertilizing to wash the leaves. Seems to be working.

hey PM,

just curious.

I'd say about a week after I switch to 12/12 and I see a formed flower the little sugar leaves start to get trichs on them. I just figure that any extra light from any spectrum couldn't hurt. But I will say those bulbs are expensive by themselves and I need to replace them.

yeah, i was wondering how many hours those uv bulbs are good for myself?

i'm guessing they deteriorate over time too and lose some lumens.

what price did you find per bulb?

About $15 is the going rate but that's ordering online. If I goto a pet store the price is much higher. I plan on calling CLW to order a about 4 of them one of mine is about to burn out seems to have had a long life all ready.

I figured they'd last 6mo-1yr, I wonder how long CLW says they last...

Ph: 5.7
Res temp: 67.1
Room temp: 73 fans on 78 fans off
R/H: 40 fans on 55 fans off
Res add back: 3 gal plain R.O.

Friday I will do another res change.

It seems as thought the HS is starting to bush out without the assistance of super cropping some of the side branches have started to grow taller than the top of the plants or at least close to even with the top of the plant. The light is within 10 inches of the canopy with out bleaching. I would take clone but it is so dense I'm pretty sure I would damage something if I tried to remove anything

The ultrasour is starting to get some leaf curl, but the rust spots have stopped on all the plants since moving the drip emitters under the coco covers. The roots on the US and blue OG seem a lot thicker than the HS and are growing slower than either of the HS did. But all roots are touching the res now so I expect to see some accelerated growth once I change the res and maybe increase the nutes a bit more.

SME, should I go full strength lucas?
Or just go slightly higher?
Or the same as last time?

You can wait to take clones even 1 week before flowering. They're tougher than you think though. ;)

They look really healthy, what are you feeding them now, strength wise? What do the roots look like?
