Ran out of flower base the feed before last nights feed, which was a normal feed. The HLG plant which gets higher light levels started to fade a little early being a 9 wkr & having a lil less then 2 to go.
The HGL plant shows signs of tip burn & a little on the edges where the lights are centered or focused on one spot to long if within that 12-18" span .
Each spectrum seems to cause a different reaction.
Update tonight.

Less then a week left till flush.
Dimmed the Trinity down a lil to recover some green if possible after one incomplete feed. Little drastic of a swing for just one feed but it is what it is. Also nearing the finish too so maybe just decided its fading time. Was recieving almost double the ppfd for most of flower as well.
The HLG plant is full under the trellis & is stocky.
The HGL plant is longer with some space inside telling me i may have lolipopped a little much. Was trying to cut them both as even as possible, flush with the bottom trellis.
The Trinity plant was dropped 3-4" a few weeks ago. To reduce the center from 1400/500w down to around 1100/525w.
The 84X's get bounced around every other day or so. May raise them all together to cover as much as possible. They will cover the plant at 2' high, not that i have 2' here but ill still jack em. 20190827_191817.jpg 20190827_191806.jpg 20190827_191136.jpg 20190827_191109.jpg 20190827_191059.jpg 20190827_190934.jpg 20190827_190651.jpg 20190827_190738.jpg 20190827_190707.jpg 20190827_190749.jpg

I have a grow question for you and other SCROG growers.
Does the fan in a few pictures under the HLG plant hit the leaves?
I assume it's for the bugs. Any updates on the bugs?
I've seen others with the fan like that and wonder if it is having a negative impact on the lower leaves if they are getting a constant breeze.

Theres a big fan under each big plant on that side of the room, so x3. They are on low but yes, can cause wind burn if left in one spot to long so i bump them around some.
One of the bigger changes I've made that has helped is i have most of my fan power on the floor now, one mega commercial on low that shoots across the top of the ceiling, hitting lights more then plants. There is one 18" oscillator blowing over the tops of the other side of the room on the light schedule.
The goal was to get more all around circulation & less direct wind. Also have smaller oscillators on the floor n those are fir bugs & topsoil airflow.
There hasn't been any bugs really in the comp plants since veg though i did treat the whole room with oils early flower.
A few plants on the other side were a battle but seam under control now.
Tried DE on the one that concerned me & worked wonderfully.

Sounds like you were right about it being root aphids.
If you saw a white waxy material on the soil then it is or was root aphids. Like fruit flies when they have wings they are more likely to head to the light unlike the gnats that stay closer to the soil.
They can do a lot of damage giving false impressions of deficiencies.
Sounds like a pest I never want to meet.

Edit: I said soil but It's coco. If you have them elsewhere they are more likely to be in the coco grows not soil that has peat moss as part of the medium. They don't like peat or bark. Make sure they are gone, they can come back fast.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with this thread. I probably missed a lot of details among all the threads going on about these lights....but it does look like both performed well and the weed looks pretty damn good. I wouldn't complain about the results of either light. That being said, there are other factors that would influence my choice other than the final results...not the least of which is the candor of the people who represent their respective companies. I really like the way I've seen Stephen and Robin run their show and I would purchase their product. I wouldn't buy anything from HGL based on what I've witnessed here. I've already dealt with one unstable personality (Area 51) and learned my lesson.

Anyway...the weed looks great! Nice job of growing those plants. Thanks for sharing the process and going tp all the extra effort to photograph and post your findings. Very nice of you!

In a way, it points to the proof that plants want photons and they don't really care how they get them. :)

Ok, here's the skinny . Both have equal trich development as for age. The HLG is getting mostly cloudy, still 30% clear, the HGL is clear, cloudy & amber in some places. About equal except the red hairs are more predominant on the HGL. Much more red hairs had me thinking it would finish faster. And still may but to be safe im starting flush now. They are 9wk'rs according to last grow. Heres the final pics under the Bar-8 first run with this strain from seed. Did not de-fo then & i believe that lead to bigger buds. The canopy was dead even then w/ bar light coming from every direction so de-fo was not necessary .
Ill get some in the dark later to compare.
I flush for 7-10 days. Cannibalization of fans starts right away usually . Screenshot_20190901-221532_Samsung Internet.jpg Screenshot_20190901-221527_Samsung Internet.jpg
The 470 & 450 nm really bring out the purps.
