Nirvana ICE 315 CMH

Hey guys, so I posted a while back about a grow I was about tour start but I ran into some setbacks with money starting up. I'm up and running now!!

I'm growing one plant under a 315w metal halide bulb in a 2x2 grow tent. Super small I know but it's all the space I could use and I think it will be just fine especially how predominantly indica this pheno is. With light on and humidifier running, my Temps are 73-85 with the RH at 50-60%. When the lights go out, the humidifier turns off and my low is 65 with the same RH. She is growing beautifully and the undersides of the leaves have a deep purple color. This is my first indoor grow and I couldn't be more satisfied so far.

Here are pics of her yesterday before I topped her

Here are some pics I just took about 16 hours after the last ones. I topped her and got a clean shot underneath so hopefully someone can confirm that the purple is genetics.

I haven't used a 315 watt cmh, but aren't
they supposed to be the equivalent to a 600 watt HPS? That would make for one bright 2x2 tent! You should end up with some hefty buds.
I grew Nirvana ice and Misty back in 2003. I remember decent yield and decent potency.

I'm not sure, but the tent is lit up for sure haha. How will this light do in flower? I don't want to spend more money on an hps but I will if it's really necessary

I have had seedlings do that but then they lose those lovely colors after a week or two.

May I ask how did this grow ended ?
I'm growing a few of them now.
They seem to be really strong plants and doubled their size during the first 3 weeks of 12/12.
Any tips ?
