It has. Sorry guys, life got in the way. Things are still trucking along, but this garden got away from me a bit, lol. I was unable to continue training after the branches all grew upward, so now things are a little unruly in here. Lol. Anyway, here we are on day 17 of flowering:
Hush- Looks like the plants in the front are a bit lower in height? Maybe prop them up on another bucket or milk crate to get the canopy at the same height as the others?
Thanks guys. Seeingthings, you are so right. That's one of the things I have on my list for today or tomorrow. I just need to figure out what I have that I can prop'em up on. I think I have a spice rack I could use, that would fit both of those plants. I'm surprised that the Stacked Kush got that tall, but I've never grown a "OG Kush" hybrid before now...
I totally just posted in the wrong journal... Sorry to anyone who saw those pictures and thought they belonged to this garden... That must have been thoroughly confusing.
No, I've never used cmh bulbs before. I've considered it, but I don't have any more magnetic ballasts, as I've gone all digital. Do they make 400w bulbs that work with digital ballasts now? I like the idea of giving the plants blue light during flowering, which is why I'm using MH all the way through this grow. But I'm only just experimenting, to see what strains like it. I'm starting to think that orange light is highly overrated, and it's possible I might not ever buy an hps bulb again. Still on the fence about it.
I learned a long time ago that fluorescent gardens always did better under all 6500k light, and I haven't bought a "bloom" lamp in over a decade. Now I'm starting to think the same applies to hid lighting, too.
Yeah, I ran a magnetic 400W ballast back then -- pretty sure that's still you're only option for CMH operation. Honestly I got the bulb for heat reduction, but fell in love with the output. I'm back to HPS but only because I've moved up in wattages (to the best of my knowledge Phillips only produces a 250W and a 400W CMH). I do miss working under that clear, white light.
