Didn't seem like it should cause an issue and my clones won't likely see the mycos I only keep moms in soil. I'm a hydro guy, hangin around to see the Cindy develope.

Good to see ya back home and posting Mechanical. Girls are looking fantastic. Dede, can pat herself on the back. She didn't kill them. lol

mine is still slowly moving along. I noticed a couple leaf tip burns on mine so I did a rez change last night earlier than expected. I'm thinking I need to supplement my Dyna grow nutes with some cal mag. I hope not. Everything I've read on these nutes or at least that I have seen from others success they say Dyna Grow is a stable Nute and no cal-mag is needed. It's probably just being a newb with different nutes. I'll wait a few days and see if this rez change in my DWC does anything. Using Dyna Grow - Pro Tekt and gave it some Mag Pro.. I hope there is a change for the better.

Here it is. Such a small little bugger still. Oh, I also Fim'd on Sunday. These were taken yesterday. Also in that first pic you can see I got a twisty Leaf.

whatever nutrient problem it's having I wonder if that would be the culprit to the slow growth as well.

Glad to be home! I have read that C99's are Mag whores. I dont know if that is your problem though. I dont see much twisting but that usualluy is a sign of ph swings. Looks good to me:)

Okay so I need some advice or I guess opinions. As yall know right now they are under a 4ft 4 bulb T5(220watts). My hps light is one of those Digiliux enhanced blue bulbs. I think its a 25% increase in blue. So my question is........ Should I keep using the T5 OR should I start using the HPS at 50% power(300watts)? I would then increase it to 75% power(450watts) before I leave for work and most likely bump it up to 100% power before flower time. If I used the HPS I would go to a 18/6 schedule. What do yall think?

The hps is gonna really get your inner growth going. Much better light penetration
Ya thats what I was thinking. Thanks for the input. I'll switch it out during their dark period today and change their schedule to 18/6. I was also thinking of buying one of those dual arc bulbs. I think it was like 400 HPS and 200 MH. I just dont really want to spend alot more money on bulbs cause the one I have was expensive enough lol:)

If your gonna get another bulb just get a MH they work beautifully in veg

Im also going to be buying some UVB bulbs soon. Still tring to figure out how to hang them and what size to get but do you think I should wait until flower or is their any benefit other than the increase to resin production(sunblock)? My last grow had an 18'' UVB during flower only and the buds closest to the UVB had alot more resin. This time I want to be able to cover the whole canopy or try to.

I've done some vegging with and hps, and I've flowered with a mh. They worked, either way you'll be 5 steps ahead of the floros. Getting 300w of HPS over her I bet will really jump start the growth.

Normal growth.. I gave them their first full dose of nutes today per the Go Box instructions. I also busted out the 600w HPS on 75% making it 450w at 12'' from the canopy. Tomorrow I will lower it a little bit. Lets see if that speeds up the growth. Good lord these nutes stank. Oh and I forgot to fill up my humidifier yesterday so the RH is a little low. It should get back up to around 30% again.

Well how'd they look today? Notice growth yet, it might take another day but once it starts if you keep them happy it will be surprising I think.

Well to be honest there wasnt alot more growth than normal. Maybe tomorrow. The smaller one actually looked a little limp. I lowered the light last night to about 7'' cause there is almost no heat and I think it was a little much for her. I did water her yesterday but I dont think I overwatered cause it had been 6 days. The lights just went off and will now be off for 6 hours so I'll post some pics after 10.

I hope 7" isn't to close for them. Are you running a cool tube? I'm planning on getting a 400w cool tube in the very near future.. So knowing that they can handle 450w at 7" will give me a little advance input for the future.
