Hahaha you should be a rep for them...
Think I’m gonna buy their whole line soon as I’m out of my canna a and b currently using bio diesel by sensi pro as my flower booster... a quarter of the price of the boost accelerator....
There’s plenty of other stuff out there that works well but as a line up it’s worked the best for me. It costs a bit more than most brands but the concentration of the nutes and additives is very high and you don’t use all the bottles at the same time so it works out to be cheaper in most cases.

Ok another question. Should I get a Dimmable 1000w to run 600 or a straight 600? Or does this even make a difference apart from being able to run a 1000 if ever in the future?
If your only going to run 600’s get a 600 ballast that way you can still over drive it for the last week or 2. A 1000 dimmed to 50% won’t heat up a 600 properly which fucks up the spectrum they put out and reduces the total output.

Ok cool. Lol. Sorry if I get annoying with all the questions but this indoor stuff is a whole other world for me atm.
Since I’ve put them under light, (they’re still in the sun during day) I’ve noticed the tops droop. Like look really sad. The lights about 50cm away from them. I think it’s the wrong bulb or something. Currently under son T plus, but I also tried lucagrow bulb and no difference. So someone suggested there’s not enough blue spectrum and that I should add an mh as well. Does this sound right? I just ordered an Eye hortilux super hps enhanced spectrum bulb as they claim to be the only one that has more violet blue and green. Not sure if I got suckered there or not tho.
*oh and they barely drink under lights too!! I mean they do, a little bit, but not much. Once they get outside the pots are light within an hour??

@OzCocoLoco how long have you been running H&G. its all i ever run although i only use coco A+B too much of a tight arse to waste money on additives.

my question is this, i never used to have to go over 2ml per litre but since ihave come back im now running at 3m/l on my big girls and already up to 2ml/l on some of my smaller plants. it feels like in the 2 years i was gone they have diluted the base nutes? maybe i just have some heavy feeders

if its a 600 then wack it up to 20 inches away and see what the plants do, most run them at about 18 inches.(o u are..lol) Maybe go higher then and see how they react?
MH for veg, HPS for flower is the norm.

Whats your canopy temp?

I wouldn't be putting them in and out, its a good way to bring pets and disease into your indoor environment.

Haven’t used it in about 9 months but I very rarely got to 3ml/L. What is the e.c of your water and what’s the e.c of your mix at 2ml and 3ml /L ?
I try and go of e.c rather than M/L,if I put 3ml/L in town water it’s too high but if I’m using tank water it usually needs a little more to get it where I want it so maybe your tap water has a lower starting point ?

Could be a little bit of light stress or maybe they are missing the UV light

Could be humidity related if they aren’t drinking,too high and they can’t transpire properly and too low makes it difficult for fluid to be passed from the roots through to the leaves.

nice. the real deal dark horse too. pumped to see how that turns out. which bank did you get those from im looking at picking it up down the track along with some gamma berry
I was lucky enough to get it, when i did a order on bonza, I couldn’t pass up the chance of smoking some of the strongest weed in the world or so they say... my mate just got back from Las Vegas and he got a pre-rolled blunt of face on fire, a cross of face off og, he reckons it was that strong it took him and his mate 2 sessions to smoke it... it had a line of the thc crystalline in the middle too.. fuck it would melt ya face haha

My tap water is around 150-200ppm on the truncheon
At 3ml/l im at 1200ppm which does seem excessive but its what the plants demand.

i cant remember what i used to feed back in the day. 2 years is a long time for my fried out brain. i do know 2ml/l was about the norm.

Canopy temp is only around 24degrees at night - lights on. And humidity is pretty low like mid 30’s so yeah that must be why they don’t drink much in there.
As for mh, should I change to one of them or keep the hps AND add a mh?

They could be just getting a little tired to, leaves will move up and down over the cycle.

if the one bulb will do the job just change out the HPS for the MH.

HPS will do the job of cause but the MH spectrum is better for vegging.

Big girls you have their. Lookin to flower soon or going to veg them until it warms up and put in the ground outside?
