A few questions if you get a chance to answer.
1. When you say you have a static garden do you mean that the environmental controls are on all the time? Fan blowing through vents always on, CO2 always on? Also are you using an Air conditioner?
2. What do you think about light movers? Ever used them think they are a good idea?.
3. What is your specific regimen when your plants become infected with spider mites and afids? How do you systematically rid your garden of them and how long does it take.
4. Can you specifically state any and all steps you take to make your plants shorter and bushier. I know you said you don't like to cut or bend. You use MH exclusively for veg to help with this? anything else?
5. Do you normally run your lights during the day or night time.
6. Do you ever foliage feeding where you spray the plants with nutrients? Would you reccommend this?
Thanks for taking the time to answer if you can get around to it. Last one. Did I read correctly that you are in Texas? I live in central Texas and love it here.
