For sure the plants are much darker green now then before . They get fed , fed, then straight water . Yeah I can't wait till it finishes . My blue dream is the mostcaked in resin so far

Temps can be a factor. As well as specific pheno.

i hear you on the temps. this strain was supposed to be purple in genetics no matter what. had some hormonal issues from monstercropping so im just gonna attribute it to that. i had a root pathogen that wiped out all my cuts and was only able to save one but i will give a couple small plants a go one more time and see whats up with her. only had one pheno showing purple and shes pretty fluffy. better bust out your screen zoom to find the purple lol. my old sannies killingfields would get solid purple in a balls hot room. she was a beauty!

So right night wete sitting at about 4 and a half weeks into flower. I've changed my timer to 11/13 and raised the lights to 40 inches from the tallest point of my canopy. Starting feeding at 75% of reccomended dose. The resin these thinhs are producing....just insane .....the blue dream is so ridiculously sticky. As well as the gorilla glue #4. These 630cmh actually penetrate pretty damn well. That was the one thing I assumed was going to be a con of going cmh route. But the lowest branches on my gg4 already are fully engulfed in buds. And there probably almost 5 ft away from the light . I will say this though, the one negative is the leaf to bud ratio. These girls jist keep producing leaf like crazy. Already know trimming will be a bitch . But if that's the only downside ill take it. Lol. Buds are filling in nicely. Hete in a week or two the best part begins. Fattening and swelling

Actually I was a member of the sunplix page on Fb. But the administrator removed me from the group for posting about my nanolux cmh and not there sunplix. Literally 2 days before that a guy was posting pics of HPS grows and the admin was actually defending when others were upset about him breaking the rules of the page. Which was only one rule that posts needed to be kept cmh related lol. I've since not really had much respect for the company or there advertising tactics

I actually saw slight increase in bud growth when I switched to 11 and 13. It was something a fellow grower had reccomended I try. It also shaves off 1 kwh per day. I may not choose to do 11/13 next time but so far everything is looking on schedule . Gorilla glue is beginning to get swollen calyxes. Dude....the weight of the bud on my gg4 is just insame. So dense and heavy and filled in. Blue Dream is by far the stickies followed by gg4. The purple urkle x GSC is the furthest behind and will probably be the last one to harvest

The trichs from the CMH are crazy. I run a 315 in a 4 x 4 because heat becomes an issue. And yes a 400 600 or 1000 have greater heat but timber COBS do not.
But I love my 315. Best harvest ever was in that (4 plant max) i ran 3 plants and ended up with 12 oz of great buds and about 4 oz of larf. Even if it can get better it is beyond my expectations and 315 watts. Cost is down. Peace

That's awesome dude. I've been hearing alot lately hows guys are pulling 1lb. Per 315w . now that more and more people are trying Cmh its like inevitable that it's the most efficient and bang for your buck hid light. Yeah hps is cheaper initially but you will pay that difference in 3 months time in electricity . My monster cropped GG4 is doing just unbelievable . The lowest branches are leaning over completely because of the weight of the bud. The top nugs are probably the most dense and largest buds I've ever seen at week 5. Granted the strain is known for big buds. I'm convinced the monster cropping made a difference. So I decided to actually take 2 clones from the bottom and try my luck re vegging them. Everything looks perfect. Leaves are completely green and healthy . These Cmh sure keep my girls sooooo much healthier this deep into flower. I will say this......im almost positive that when growing under 630cmh ( cant say same for 315w since I don't own one yet) , I'm having to increase my feeding tremendously . When growing with hps + led previously I was using General Organics . Max feed would be 10ml bio bloom. 3ml bio bud. Cal mag . And molasses . And feed on a regimen of feed, water, molasses, feed, water, molasses etc. Now I'm having to use 15ml bio bloom. 5ml bio bud. In a regimen of feed,feed,water. It's really interesting

Our reflector is designed specifically for 315W CMH bulb so it can nicely cover 4x4. No need to adjust reflector angle.
