Not complaining just noticing…. Every single bud grown under the 600rspec has been purple. Some extremely deep purple, some mild purple, but I’ve not seen a green nugget since I started using this light. Not sure why. Dense frosty nugs. Not complaining. But can’t grow any green weed anymore…

Yup. Not just rspec though.

Mostly mild. I’d even say low ish and I guess we can attribute the purple to that. Strong exhaust fan and oscillating fans on the light and canopy, it’s never above 75 degrees and probably is like 60-65 at bedtime. No lights, that room on back side of the place… maybe it’s just because it’s abit chilly.
Doubtful. And are you talking about your air temp? Subtract probably 4-7*F from that (or check it with IR thermometer). It happens in sealed rooms with plant LSTs of no less than 80* too.
Edit: But if that's your air temp, under leds, then your plants are almost definitely 'too cold' as well.

Ya, that's chilly. And cold temps can make P less accessible. You also want higher temps with LED's. But my guess is you're super low nighttime temps.

Looks like the final count is 74 after losing two to damping off. seedlings are doing well. I watered them with RO water with 90 ppms of calmag, PH 6.4.

Lowered the light to 30 inches and cranked it up to 675 watts. I'm averaging 500 PPF at that height. didn't want to lower the light any farther or I wouldn't be able to get under the light to water lol!

GML has been a HLG reseller and rep for years, so kinda surprised if he would steal their design like that for the new "Tarantula" light, which is just like a scorpion with two more panels.

Training time ……

Pulled the current vegging plants out for a prune and “ shaping “ …. Pretty easy with paper clips.
Holes run around perimeter of buckets , bend a paper clip and LST done !
Bagged plants are super cropped pinched instead . Since they are good girls - I finish them up with a foliar of Silica / Kelp spray.
