Sorry gentlemen I have been lacking on my updates with these.
All is well. They are well on the way to flowering. I'm actually doing a little experiment with these and a few others. Alot of us suffer from heat this time a year and end up scrambling to lower temps. Either have to shut off a light or crank up the AC, we've all been there scratching our head.
I have a 400 parabolic hood I use to start young'uns, but it can put out some heat, with HPS the felt heat seemed considerably lower than MH. So that pretty much ended my relationship with Metal halide this summer, possibly forever. More heat, less lumens.. FU MH.
I wanted to see what I can do with 200w of hps. I guess traditionally .5 grams per watt would be the standard. I am hoping for 1 or better. I have 6 plants under her. The additional heat beside my aircooled lights lights is nominal. So far I have used more space with hardly any additional heat.
Now, oviously my undergrowth has not been as strong but not as bad as i would have thought. I'm really surprised how well they have been doing. I have a hubbabubbatellescope well into flowering beside them that is taking it great. It had the lower two branches lopped off earlier so all of the buds are on the upper % of her, all super dense. I have some free Cheese from The Vault going in there with the 3 wild thai. Thanks to you guys at The Vault and GA again for the beans!!
I am happy with growth of these guys, so uniform. Short, stocky, healthy. They are taking the nutes well.
Forgive the pictures I have some rearranging to do later and I did not want to move them twice. I will try to get some better shots.
