I really hope so, when I fed her last night she had a lot more buds than the day before. Pretty excited to see how this performs..

Dude...advice for ya
dont use cool tube, you lose too much lumen.. 150w dont heat that much
better way is to use only flex tube and venting near the bulb...belive me same effect without glass
i keep my 250w 8 inches from buds...only one PC fan between plants and lamp, and one 110 cfm exaust fan
Cooltube is ok on 600w+ bulbs
P.S. tie that branches down to even a cannopy and penetrate light closer to middle of the plants

Thanks for the tips but I think I got this one on lock. She was heavily LST already and has a pretty even canopy. The plants are touching the cool tube so if I went bare bulb I would run into height issues. I keep the tube clean and dust it once or twice per week. I also feel its a bit safer in the cab having a cool tube. I would worry about the bulb falling or touching shit and staring a fire without it.Dude...advice for ya

looking good, how long before you plan on harvesting?i usually only flush salts out at the last week. but im using a bubble-ponic hydro setup a little different from yours. youre buds looks small (like mine) but you got a lot of em, im guessing almost an ounce how much do you think you will yield?

This wasnt my last couple weeks of flushing lol. Not going to chop for at least six more weeks. You should feed hempy buckets like soil, giving them water sometimes to flush out the excess salts from the resivior. If you don't give them straight water sometimes it can lock out certain nutes from being absorbed or it could even burn the plant.

yeah, i used to grow in soil and locked them up and burned em, or didnt give them enough and starved them every time.. i switched to hydro and never looked back. i went from getting 3 grams of bud in soil to 2 1/2 ounces per plant in hydro.

Heres a little update. I have never had one get so frosty only a couple weeks in! Even the fan leaves are getting trichs all over.

Anyone seen an issue like this before? I am doing GH nutes no calmag added at the recommended strength they have on the bottle. Everything has been great so far, no burn, very healthy..

Didn't think early trics all over the place was an issue.
I foresee hash making in your future.

Looks like the start of a mag deficiency to me.
A good fix is add 1 tablespoon of epsom salt to a gallon of water next watering. Dissolve it in warm water first.
She looks good though...it's common to have deficiencies in flowering, buds are drawing all the nutrients from the leaves

Thanks Ganja! I am going to go pick up some GH Calimagic today after I leave the office.. I know it isnt an issue and I have had many more issues than this in the past. I just want her to keep healthy until I give her the nute cutback and flush..Looks like the start of a mag deficiency to me.
