no, can't say I do.

Pretty happy with this so far they're falling over at this point

When do you guys recommend flush ? I was going to start next watering ? Any guess on final weight ?

Ha, that flush thing is a can of worms in here. If you mean true flushing which is basically drowning your plants and should only be used if you have issues like lock-out problems, no. If you mean just giving them water for the last week or so, that's what I do and it doesn't hurt yield or the plants imo. And my guess is about a pound (not kidding) but it's difficult to guess the weight based on volume of bud, the density of the strain/pheno is what determines your final weight. Looking good though, nice haul coming up

How many days under 12/12 or how many days has it ben since you first saw it sex?

depends on the plant, but if it were me, and i'm no one... i'd start the flush when your trichomes are 50/50 clear/cloudy to 25/75 because of your growing medium. Your ph balances along the way and soil you're in will put you on cruise control through the homestretch. Good job btw. this grow should give everyone hope in a small space starting out. I would have loved to see that 315w/930 go through flower. but i'll stab a guess at 300-350g @ 65RH after cure.

Growerhouse myself but just bought some more for my son and they were the cheapest at BGHydro for the Sun Systems.

i paid $500.00 a piece at boulder lamp co..
id love to see a comparison between different cmh lamps verticle and horizontal run fixtures...whats the big difference?? also the ballast type is suppose to be a big thing, phillips ballasts are best from what i hear,,, my ballasts are made by boulder lamp but run phillips bulbs,, whats the difference??? idk???
my lamp info..

I paid $333.34 a piece for my Sun System LEC 315's.

But I also was working at a hydro store when i got em and i had an impressive discount.

If I want more I gotta pay like $510 after tax hah

sun systems have a phillips ballst wright????? please put up a data sheet on ballst like the one i have above for comparison if possible....

I'm honestly not sure. I know the bulb is phillips tho

my sunsystem has a built in ballast on the back end of the hood. This is assumption i haven't physically open it up looked inside. I'm sure the specs/schematic can be googled

Well flower so far is looking great, any advice on when to pull, I see that theirs is a few different opinions? some trichs on the plant are 50/50 red and white hairs

Should I invest in a lens from the hydro store for a better view

Do you have a white balance setting on your camera?

Incandescent should do it

Looking good toxic, very healthy. They do have a ways to go though (1 week+), if you see those "hairs" that some are starting to turn brown/reddish and curl, once all or most of the white one's have turned to that state, check the trichs and pull when most are cloudy and you start seeing the odd amber. Some growers let them go longer to get a lot of amber but that's actually degrading THC levels, so degraded potency. The fallacy is that more amber = more heavy/body stone, the reality is that you're getting reduced THC levels the longer you let them go amber. To get a heavy/body stone, get the right genetics, typically something indica but the highest potency for any strain is all cloudy trichs. If I even check trichs I pull them as soon as I start to see any amber starting up, regardless of strain. Eventually with some experience you can just look at the plant and know when it's ready to pull.
