Haha, wish it was broken. Been working with around 10-20% all grow really aside from sprouting under a dome. Worried about it at the beginning until I saw how they were growing, want to find a way to get it up to at least 30% average. But it is just warming up here now, and our summers are really bad for humidity so I`ll hold off for now. Will be up in the RO department naturally soon enough, haha. No sweat on the NHK, work some out for yourself and we`ll have a few goes afterwards together side-by--side ;). thanks for stopping in on your busy schedule HC

**EDIT - Low RO may be also attributed to me living so high up (elevation wise) as well ... ? **

Going to update again tomorrow at some point as I haven`t checked, but usually takes only 48 hours to sprout my seeds, so the Burmese should`ve come up by then. Going to Veg them with the clones for 2-3 weeks before they go in the tent withthe other ladies. Lots in the works, thanks for stopping by, stay tuned!!

Funny you mentioned that....mine fluctuates between 20-50 as well. It's only made a difference with two strains so far, but normally, no issues with it. However, I notice the spike more after watering, and during lights out. New(to me) strain on deck...ready to cure...

Double Barrel Blunts...puff, puff, pass Pineapple Express(l) OG #18(r) ATB!

Hell of a way to start a sunday morning mang! I'll take a rip of that bad boy ;)

My RO in the flower room averages around 40 or low 40s. I could get it lower as I have a dehumidifier right inside that 6x8 room but that's where the plants seem happy. Not sure where it runs in the veg area but I should stick the meter in there for shits and giggles and see.

Heading down to the lake this afternoon with my new honey. I'm situated perfectly,,,,,got the highest peak in the state 20 min in one direction and the prettiest lake in the country that runs the length of the state, 20 min in the other direction

Puff puff pass, purple kush x sweet afghani delight>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It seems like RO would be the least of my worries right now. Went to plug my timer in for 18/6 (been getting up and going to bed with the plants the last week ...) and it seemed to short my ballast. Now the damn thing won`t fire up and the girls have been sittin`in the dark for about 12-15 hours. Flower projections may be down a bit now

Good news is the 2 Burmese have sprouted in the `Closet`, and I`ve abandoned all clones I have as the thermostat broke and soared over 90F for 12 hours, dried everything out big time (except the BuKu thankfully). Ordered another 6 Cataracts just to have as I`ve been pleased thus far, will run these again properly at the Factory later for crosses.

So swapping lights today, back to `slow veg`for a bit I suppose. Probably handy I did all the training I needed when I did now that I look back on it. Should be able to get them back on track with a few days of 24/0 now, and we`ll wait to hear from my ballast people ... ugh, nice morning, haha. Peace all,

If you've been on a continuous 18/6 cycle, I wouldn't change from that....IMHO, you could possibly gain more by continuing the cycle they are accustomed to. I'm always paranoid about having or causing nanners later on so I try and maintain things as natural as possible. Just my. 02.... ATB!

I`d usually be 100% along with this Supa, however the long absence of light make me second guess myself and want to give them a decisive veg light schedule for a day or two at least ... ? Especially since we`re going back to CFL`s from MH, much lower intensity, maybe more duration would benefit? Tell me if I`m wrong brother, got a million things ramblin` in my brain right now, haha

Thought I`d post some pictures after I got the start lights installed in the tent, gotta love clip-and-go beaners ;). Ladies seem to have really liked the extended nap time, and after a good morning misting, they`re ready to go as usual. I think I`ll take Supas advice and continue the 18/6 schedule, one day shouldn`t hurt their routine too, too much. Anways here`s some tent shots of the crew,

The Family this afternoon (notice new `Blizzard`fan in the back right, $20, steal of a deal, awesome circ fan)

Shots of Leader, Mohican, Mrs. O, and White Lady respectively. Loving that rich light green new growth overnight :D

Our canopy level, looking pretty even. White Lady is due for a transplant any day now.

... and a shot for HC and Supa after we get all the bugs worked out. This is what I generally see everyday with the CFL`s, the MH seems to keep my RH lower? Not sure how thatworks, but it`s what`s happening! Haha.

Thanks for stopping all, appreciate the support. Almost 2000 views and about to enter flower, you guys will help get this Cataract Refernce noticed for other to enjoy this lovely strain :mrgreen:. Happy growing,

I`m sticking with the 18/6 Supa, you talked me into it (even if minorly ;)). They seem to like either light really, just will wait for the HPS to flower for sure. Thanks for the confidence mate

lol i just bought a blizzard fan for 19.99

yours is blue. mine is black.
Haha, they only had orange and blue for me ... orange was a little ... loud for my liking :). Pretty damn powerful those, may get another for slightly higher in the tent. Having trouble getting temps above 75F now with it in there, have to run in 15on/15off to get some consistancy, haha

Thanks for stoppin`in guys, love to hear from you all. Appreciated,

You've got some real beauties there KC! A Kush is definitely in my future but I have my hands full right now. The CK seems to be responding veryt well to Mainlining - I've got a clear idea of what good looks like! Subbed.

Nice looking plants mate, you look like you got the mainlining going well :D
Thanks EC Mo, good to see you buddy. Going to flower with 14-15 days tops so good time to pop by! Appreciate the comments, considering your plants brother :)

Thanks Yankee, going to do the last round(s) of topping by end of today with some before/afters on how to top these super-bushes for the ML. Will finish with 8-headed Leader, 4-headed Twins, and the just topped WWxNL. Thanks for stoppin`by, got some chairs warmed up for ya ;)

Heading in to check on the Burmese now, if they`ve come up a few inches since yesterday, they`ll be heading into the tent before too long to start their `Quick-Veg` and flower about a week or two behind the Cataracts. Stay tuned for an update later tonight all and thanks for poppin` in as usual. Puff, puff, pass ---- BB Burmese Kush, home-cross :joint: :mrgreen:

I hear that - been chomping at the bit to get started since I stumbled on the Mainling thread. We can all help each other out.

KC - Sounds like a plan!
