Just want to ask everyone's advice here in the commune. I have a Mar's Hydro Reflector 48. It has the feature of a Growth and Bloom mode. Up to this point I've been using only in Growth mode (more blue and I would say 3/4 of the total overall power for the light which is a true 102 watts at the wall). Not to state the obvious but when you switch on the bloom switch it adds in more red and also as a result the total 102 watts. This is the best light for my set up as I had the Mars 300 and struggled with temps. I've started with the recommend height of 36 inches up until now. I'm thinking of lowering to 12 inches and turing on Bloom. I just read this interesting post on Grow Weed Easy about how adding in light in the 730nm range starts things stretching (a good thing when actually in bloom) which is probably what the bloom switch does. But since I may be on the minimum side of light power it might be a trade off. Here's the article. Good read!

Day 10 update has to start with a thank you to @Ripper and @Kindsoil for their support. The girls are coming on strong. Auto euphoria is rocking on strong! What a difference in just 2 days. The slowed critical Neville haze has sprung back to life with a vengeance. Must be all that great kindsoil in that bag! Wow, i was amazed when I saw them this morning.
