Appreciate the info bro. never grown these strains. I did see an absolute change in preflower. Will see how the onset goes 8 days I see them all over but just was thinking a bit bigger.

I've started topdressing with fish bone meal (3-16-0) once about a couple weeks before flip and just adding the same amount of nutes that I would with each feeding.

Also yeah, I might have to copy that brilliant grow space.

Also remember its your first time in soil and then add a new strain, well your probably right in thinking they should be bigger, but that will come from learning from this grow if you stick with it, the way I look at it is, is everyday that there is an issue, or not optimal growth, is time and growth your not going to get back. next time you may not have the nutrient issue and the root bound issue, soil plants hate that. So you would probably see bigger bud just from that plus you'll see other stuff next time around. either way for first time in soil your doing pretty good

Thanks man. Thinking I will enjoy the coco more but I'm now enjoying this grow and glad I did it. I think it will make me a better grower in the end.

How much higher does that hlg 550 go? How dimmed are you.

Because the growth you got is sure faster than my 600 hps.

Looks like those nice compact healthy sturdy soil plants could take it.

Dont know about those stringy unsupported weak stem hydro plants though. ;-)

Been as high as almost 85k before but they has stress and noticable. But I'm surprised because the HBMC was showing light stress early on. May have just needed some time to settle in. They definitely are healthier overall I feel. But I'm gonna say thats probably because of the more stable environment Ina bigger room and possibly slower growth? Seems more forgiving than my hydro on climate.

Will see once it hits the coco. But it's grown on me. I'm definitely not as anti dirt. But I miss and like my control of hydro. Advantages and disadvantages. Definitely has affected my view of soil in a positive way.... Other than growth rates.
