What are you going to feed it? Looks like it's pretty happy with what it's got. I wouldn't give it any nitrogen at all if you can help it...just my 2 cents.
Yea that's why I'm skeptical about using these nutrients. Her leaves are in the darker side. Last time I gave her nutrients it was too much noob mistake in my part used too mucb

Some plants grow that way, try not to worry about it or think too much. Its actually really good for it to be building itself before it adds buds. It looks like its not preforming, but it really is.
Ohh ok phew lol I was worried for a second but she looks healthy. Hey man do you prefer distilled water with the nutrients if I prefer to use them

I looked up that solar storm 440 light...holy crap...that thing is badass. PAR specs are off the charts, and switchable UVB...damn.
I'm using the uvb right now. I heard if you use it in veg it's really good. So I've had it on this whole time lol guess I'll see what the grow is like with uvb the whole time. I did switch her to bloom Mode. It's reallly red the veg was a bluish color

You are blowing me out of the water...Lol...I've had issues. 3 out of 4 were male, and of course the one I fucked up topping is the female. It looks like it might become one bazooka bud. IMG_20170420_164437446.jpg

I just use tapwater. Its hogh ppm, at over 500 evem over 600 sometimes. Doesnt seem to matter though. I ised to buy gallons, and then bought a ro unit, but really, doesnt matter much in me experiance.

Start at 1/4 strength and slowly up it every other watering from there, i wouldnt use any more grow big during flowering, can cause nitrogen toxitcity the big bloom is organic so you shouldnt have an issue and should be pretty hard to over do it on

Ohh I see. That probably why I had nitrogen toxicity. The fox farms I heard there soil runs a little hot for seedlings. It must be packed with nutrients already since I've basically just been giving it plain ro water ph at 6.7

Research shows UV Increases THC...It has something to do with the THC being a defense mechanism against the UV.

Nice yea that's what I read. A lot of people say to only use it 2 weeks before harvest. I've had it on the whole time. At one point there was so many white specs I thought it was mites
I've read you only need it a 4-6 hours in the middle of the cycle to simulate peak sun radiation. I think it's fine what your doing. If there was some uv related stress you'd probably have seen it. Pretty sure that light manufacturer knows what's up...It's nice. You might not need it in veg, but at least you don't have to worry about some late term uv shock or something. I've got a few reptile bulbs I want to try, but I want to see everything grow stable for a bit.

That's true next Grow I will probably just use it in flower. No sense to waste the bulbs life anymore then need be. Keep me updated with your Grow. Do you have a Thread of your Grow?

I've had several threads about some specific topics I was and still am researching/trying. When I was switching my light on my first 4 I started Ready For The Boom:) https://www.rollitup.org/t/ready-for-the-boom.938004/#post-13473225 I was pumped until three were male! I'm gonna post most of my stuff there now.

I decided to do little grow journal where I try to apply what I've learned so far. https://www.rollitup.org/t/northern-skunk-grow.939007/

It is a run of 4 PeakSeedsBC NorthernSkunk Regular Seeds.
