... mg defi definitely causes tip curling but I think his are just "AIMING" for the sky more or less.

Spectrum trumps all..well played my good farmer.

...and there you have it :) from a seasoned hps grower apparently. Rep 4 Who

HPS grows have been documented and have done well with ONLY an HPS. that's not to say you're a bit short changed on the veg a bit, so yes a split mh/hps would work as well. You seem so sure on the hps being a no, have you had any problems with an only HPS grow? I mean you can 12/12 from seed...

Absolutely mate. The HPS can carry you all the way through to harvest :) where as the MH is not recognized as a good "spectrum" we'll say for flowering, only vegging, so if you're going to keep costs down, and get one light, go with the HPS. If you want, I believe I have some good lighting...

I am also researching this phenomenon, had some fairly young ones do the same, for whatever reason they are straightened out now...I think it was because they were just getting acclimated to the sun. in some circles this is called "boosting?" I believe. I'd say for a deeper understanding read...

I know mylar can be rather expensive...a another healthy alternative is a "flat white" coat of paint. Should you ever find yourself w/o mylar some day lol but i'm sure you probably already knew all of this already. thx and tokes for rep \m/

Gorgeous girls CK..thx for sharing, have never seen the results of a T5 before. 4 monkey thumbs with rep dude ;)

I have read that tin foil "can be" a bust for light retention/reflection b/c of the folds in the foil it can "intensify the light" to the point that it possibly could burn a whole in your baby. Not sure how many people have had if any troubles with foil other than random postings I have read...

Likewise here...18/6 and I see much better results the morning after a good night's rest for meh babies. I use most of the daylight for as long as I can then under cfl's to get them nice and mellow before going to bed...so far so good. Will also be transplanting later as well. GL

Same here, stem peeling just a day or 2 past two weeks and not seeing anything detrimental as of yet. :) it's rather common with other plants as well I've noticed. :peace:

:joint: Thx & tokes 4 rep ;) \m/ ... nice data collection..great and informative. 4 monkey thumbs!

@Crazytrain14...I also have a PC cab i set aside for the same adventure...still in the works so far...nice setup if you're achieving such results :) in the future I too will be using this setup along with quite a few others. Keep up the good work!

P.S. ..if the tap r00t "HAS taken hold" ,if or when you do decide to try digging it up, DO NOT disturb it, as long as it's not buried too deep it'll do it's job.

Hole in the seed?? o.O There should only be one opening and that's to let the tap root out when germinating...this small protrusion (Tap R00t) should be planted downward with the seed facing up. When the tap root gets a good hold on your medium or grow schtuff, it'll push that tiny little...

hey man....12/12 is the light cycle used for budding or flowering..in the simplest sense 12 hrs ON and 12 hours OFF

Deficiency/Nutrient Burn pics I take no credit for the info contained herein....

Agreed, I use CFL's and solid white 5 gallon buckets for the sake of light retention/reflection all around the babies. Seems to do much better than the same amount of light hanging all around in a larger grow area or room. Light retention is one of MY key factors with cfl's and they work great...
