If you can for next run bump that up to a 1k watt MH. I used to run 2 - 400 Watt MH Hortilux Blue to veg then switched to a 1k watt to veg and the difference was night and day, the same strain had half the node spacing and the plant were all around thicker and healthier looking. Ill never go back to less for my veg.
Are all your bulbs dual arc?? Have you ever put in a 1k HPS and compared the growth?? Maybe run 2 and 2... (sorry if I have already missed that experiment in the past.
I really like the home made drip rings. Or at least that what it looks like. I have been using 2 lines to each plant. I am going to make a bunch of these, seems like it will spread the water much better.
As far as the flower room, yes, all bulbs are dual arc. Never ran the room before otherwise, so no comparison info here. I'm lookin for whatever spectrum will give the best quality. That is most important to me.
i remember reading somewhere dual arcs are 600k of HPS and 400k of MHMaybe it's different for you since you're running 1Ks, but running 600s of dual arcs and HPS and the HPS is easily 2x as bright - I realize PAR is important, but the intensity difference is analogous to a 1K to a 400 - it's pretty astounding.
I hate checking out your thread because your room is so damn clean it's pretty much unattainable to a slob like me...........keep up the good work, bro.
OK, this is getting a wee bit lame. I think that I may have a Calcium deficiency, but I'm not sure. This came on pretty quick. The plants have yellowing between the veins and leaf perimeter on older growth. Some leaves necrotic between veins.
The nutes are H&G Aqua Flakes A&B at 570ppm. PH from 5.6 to 6.2 The only other thing they get is 2ml per gal of Hydro Fungicide. I was reading that Aqua Flakes had plenty of Calcium already, so I was running just great in my veg room with just the A&B. The plants grew like crazy.
I gave them a foliar of 2ml per gal of Cal Mag with some Penetrator. I will see in the morning if they look happier or not from the feeding.
These pics are all taken from the worst one.:worried
you might be dealing with lumen shock. Im not sure what bulb you have in the veg room but going from a tek-5 or 400w or even a 600w to 4000w, even hung high up will shock your girls. I would run two light high up and flip flop them every 12hrs for a couple days, then slowly drop the lights down, after a week you should be in the money zone.
IMO the only def you will see with DWC is cal/mg but you wont notice this until week 2-4 of flower. it comes from rapid growth, and the cal/mg uptake can not keep up, and also from high levels of PK(koolbloom ect). you will notice this def from the very tips of the leafs burning, just the tips
