Hoppipolla is Icelandic for "jumping into puddles"...isn't that great. They actually have one word dedicated for "jumping into puddles".

Hello all.. Wow its been a long time.. Finally got my house and out of the small apartment..
But now another concern we are so close to the water distributer we get calcium in dangerous amounts i think. Had to let the dwc go roots were soaked in calcium and the water seemed to get worse and worse. So now i transplanted everything to hempy buckets.
Feels so good to be back. Got the garage isolated 4mx4m Wohoo :D Just need to make the rooms. So for now i started in the tent. Check out my calcium res.!
Happy growing to you all.. Looking forward to cathing up :]

Do hortilux turn blue for a day or so before they blow? I've had a few bulbs go lately and they were dim/blue right before they popped.

no usually there will be some silver residue on the glass... turning blue eh? is it a eye super hps hortilux? what kind of ballast is it? maybe your electricity isnt right, bulb may not be running at a constant level. my washing machine causes flickers even in my normal house lights in my old shit house. crap like that will blow bulbs real quick.

The bulb itself doesn't turn blue, but the lighting looks blue instead of yellow. I just hope I'm not burning out good bulbs in a bad ballast. It's a lumatek ballast, but these bulbs are about 1 year old now I think. They will look dim like right when they first fire up, and blue just like that too, and then they blow. Worst timing for this stuff.... Just had one blow like 2 weeks ago, hope its just coincidence. I know lumatek had issues or whatever, but this is the most irregular bulb burnings I've had going on.

im using a 600 lumatek ballast circa 2006. eye hortilux brand super hps 600. mine has that blue look to it when it first fires up each time. it quickly fades over to the mixture of colors as it warms up, im talking 90-120 seconds. yours should be doing the same i would think. lumatek usually is a top notch brand, what kind of ballas tEXACTLY is it. mine is standard, non dimmable. in fact im pretty sure it only supports HPS too. most new lumateks have a small cpu that can detect the bulb, so u can use either.

ive blown a ton of bulbs so i feel fo ya too. i even had my lumatek ballast tested out, it has a dent on it from the idiots who shipped it. so when i first was blowing bulbs i thought it was the ballast. turns out it wasnt. i was using the wrong bulbs, and i had no concept of how much they spike when first turing on. plus my electricty was all fuked up. i even still have to stagger my 1000 and my 600 to avoid issues when they fire up. hell ive even melted extension cords like a fool. so make sure u dont have electrical issues. u dont want a fire either.

I have 4 600 digital dimmable ballasts. I know they are dim/blue on fire up, but I've noticed the blue dim before, and they usually only last like 12 hours or so when I do notice it. This is the 3rd time I've seen it. Just wondering if others have seen it too. If it's an electrical issue it's a surge or something because I've done my research on wire gauge, amps etc. I actually run my entire setup off a 220volt conversion setup off my dryer cord. I can run up to something like 7000+ watts on this converter.

So hey 209... remember me mentioning about the NL and the White Rhino that keep yellowing no matter how much N i give them? i cant find the f'n posts where u asked me for pics but here is a few of the NL. its a nice pheno. and yeah i know the plant/pot are small as hell. i really dont think the plant is root bound tho. it was a real small clone when it was flowered.

ive hit it as heavy as im gonna get with the buddha grow i think, trying to give it that N. im afraid to give it too much and burn it. i did read about how roots organics nutes always seem to drop PH, im starting to think that may be my problem. my broke ass aint got a ph pen or nothing.

Man I don't know what to say? Might boost up the N and k. If the buds come out great then fuck it? My Blue Cheese did the samething all four runs too.? Just said time to move on and killed that strain. None of my othere stains did that, well one other did

Yeah might have to get a meter or something... I don't know. Maybe nitrogen doesn't always= green. I know nitrogen can cause prolonged vegging, but imo, senescence is a normal thing. Maybe yellowing is good for a plant. Weed is suppose to die. I know people think green=food, but the fact is in the fall there really isn't enough light for photosynthesis, and this is why plants start turning their leaves into sugar for the buds. The plant can't sustain the leaves so they drop them. Nitrogen is still being used, but just less by the the chlorophyll, and the chloroplasts are being broken down. IMO yellow doesn't mean bad. I see a lot of people who are giving too much N and cause their plants to give another burst of growth late in flowering, stretched nodes, leafy buds, etc. A little yellow is ok. It doesn't mean your bud is being starved.
