Damn that's a big difference for no changes.:confused:
Mine should drop a bit loosing 400w. The crazy part is on my light meter I get the same lumens. The difference I see is its just not spread out as much.
You probably wouldn't want to see my bill ha ha. :eek:

The insulated house duct works great, I think it's like 25 bucks for a 25 ft run of 6in. I run the 2-600's and a 6 tube T5HO about half way thru flower. I leave the MH equiv bulbs in t5 to add a fuller range of spectrum.
I've got 1 leaf on her that's wanting to claw, I noticed when i switched her to flower the new growths started coming out real skinny like..
Here's a pic, not much to look at yet, lolView attachment 3188970 Any idea as to the funny looking leaf?

I'm gonna hop online and price check a few hardware stores and grab some Friday after work. That is exactly what I need.

I've got a couple of mine right now doing that. If I'm not mistaken on my part is over watering or moisture stress that makes them do that. :eek:

IME, its usually a ph problem. It would also be a strain dependent on how much it occurs.

Happens mostly in hydro setups..

I think being root bound may have something to do with as well.

You have to toss me some more info on that device when you can. Sounds like it wouldn't hurt to have one.
It doesn't help me I have 2 kids, my dad and wife all in my house with electric dryer. Anyone got a gas one for sale lol? Oh then the freezer in garage full of venison probably running like crazy with the heat and humidity lately. I should probably bring that in the basement now. Didn't have to plug it in most of the winter ha ha

I'm keeping the PH at around 5.8 now cause flowering. I run a lil lower during veg for the N uptake. Running a F&D with her and she has a whole 3x4 tray to stretch her legs.
I set-up mine diff than most people, I'll run bout 3 in of hydroton in bottom of tray and have net pots suspended about 2in over that. The hydroton helps to keep the water rooots damp, while allowing the upper to stay a lil drier. Here's an old pic of the trays to give you an idea.IMG_20140505_112623_862 - Copy.jpg I run a drip system until the roots are low enough in tray, IMG_20140502_104912_082.jpg I have 7 holes cut out in each piece of plywood so I can run diif numbers per tray if needed and depending on if i'm gonna do scrog or not

So you're hydro?
Its definitely a ph issue. However, I have never noticed a problem with clawing. It doesn't seem to have a negative effect on the plants except for when you are taking pics cause then it looks awful.

Yep, it doesn't make for good pics. It's only that 1 leaf is really doing it. It's hard to tell the color of leaves because the hps, but they're nice and green.
You think I should maybe go back down on the PH and see how she does?

That's up to you. I would say if it wasn't doing it at a certain ph then that would probably what that plant is looking for and accustomed to.

If you are using a digital camera you should see a button on it that looks like [+/-].. Enter that setting and click the exposure down like 3-6 clicks and it will take out the yellow from your hps.
