Blue stilton hahaha

It was the circ fan not working, extractor runs 24/7. Yeah, I'll keep an eye on them, those cheeses could use another 7-10 days before chop. This one was laying on the floor touching tents wall and those walls are sweating because of the temperature difference.

Those 3 small plants are lifted off the ground and are standing on 2-3 pots. So the smallest one fell over and knocked the other 2 down and the fan. Must have happened right after I closed the tent. Found them like that 24h later. They put themselves to bed hahaha.

I'm keeping the tent heated from the ground at lights off but I did set the temp a bit lower to save some leccy as the heat mat is pulling 150W. Might be a wrong decision.

Dog is still at my folks. I'm taking him with me on 12th when we're going there.

70-300 has 1:2 macro and the quality is crap. I bought that lens, gave it a spin and after 2 or so weeks I bought a second hand tamron 70-300VC without macro. I do have 40mm nikkor micro. It's a nice lens, really sharp but allows no distance. You need to get so close when shooting trichs that front element almost touches the plant. Not to my liking. Then I have a cheap Oshiro 60mm super macro 2:1 lens. Now this lens is tack sharp but the only downside is it's completely manual. So when shooting macro at f22 for example you barely see anything through it. I mean it takes great pictures, but without a tripod and live view you're doomed. And you still need to get so close that the front element almost touches the subject because of 2:1 ratio.

I'd recommend at least a 105mm lens even better 150mm or longer according to budget. You could get a 105 sigma for around $400 new or half the price used.

Yeah, I have a 50mm manual focus lens that takes great shots, just a giant pain in the ass to get good pictures of bud with it. you move a mm and it throws your focus off

Probably hard to see, but there's some beans showing now on my ninja fruit x ninja fruit mama :)

Had a tiny bit of "overspray" with the pollen but it looks like it's only on a bud or two next to it. Not that more seeds is a bad thing.
Beans

I've been beating my fucking brains against the wall trying to figure out what the hell is going on with stuff in my grow lately. One thing that's really getting me is the Sour Fire Lost I flipped two weeks ago today is a 4x stretch plant, I've grown it before so, I know it does what they say on that and it hasn't even doubled yet, and I was worried because they were gonna go up past the light if I didn't do a bunch of bending/tying down judging by their height when I finally could flip them.
Been going absolutely nuts trying to figure it out and it finally hit me, all the trouble with no pre-flower stretch and bad yields all started after I changed out my bulb in the flower tent, which also coincided with my brief shutdown. I've been kicking myself in the ass thinking I've been fucking up and it's that damn bulb!
I don't know what's wrong with it but, I bought a Solis-Tek bulb because they said pairing them with the Solis-Tek ballast would give you better results and I've been nothing but fucked since I did that!
I hope like hell changing it out now will save me on these, I'm sure the buds will end up weighing out better but, I hope it's not too late to get some stretch out of them.
I'm rather pissed that this bulb has caused me so much grief, thinking about writing to them and bitching. :mad:

Found some more mold spots today. Sprayed them all down with pure ethanol in hope shit stops spreading. Also turned up to me my extraction fan was on low because of the earlier low temps so had to wire it in high. See how it goes.

Right on thx @Papa Indica I just recently came to the realization my veg bulb is bullshit to:( I know this because 1 day under a hortilux smacked all of them around from 2 feet above the canopy.
I'm Looking for a good aerocloner combo. So far I have clonex gel (standard) & Hydroguard.
From there hours of research on root juice's LOL.

could be has more blue which hinders stretch

I use a led fixture for veg and it's one of the cheap units that has the two switches on it. With just the veg switch on it is basically blue and the plants stay pretty squatty in that mode. I switch it over to veg and flower mode while my flower room (closet) is in flush for the last two weeks. They stretch about 12 inches or more in that time before I move them into the closet and flip them. I couldn't believe they stretched like that in two weeks just by adding the red component.

Yeah, that would make sense but, I'm realizing now after getting it switched out that it was more orange/reddish than other bulbs I've used, once I had a different bulb in and saw that it looked a bit whiter that's when it hit me that's how it always looked before. It wasn't off enough to where you would think there was something wrong with it though.
This has really had a negative impact on my yields lately, 3-4 runs with me blaming other things and now I finally get hit with it having to be something going on in that flower tent before I get it.
It was real easy for it to get me this way given the situation, I shut everything down for a bit so, when I started back up it took an entire veg cycle before the flower tent came back on and the bulb was put in during that time, when it did come on I wouldn't have noticed any difference and I had changed out my lighting in veg for an inexpensive LED, it had excellent reviews and I could adjust the spectrum levels, I liked it but, it was real easy to put the blame there so, I had to get to a point where I had started something I was familiar with under MH, with equipment I'm familiar with, to figure it out.
Just hoping like hell I can still get a little stretch out of these!
