Glues at 32 and starting to bulk up nicely. I took a picture to show my height from canopy and how much more I can go up.... Not more than 3 4 inches but I don't think I'll have to. No signs of burning or bleaching and all the tops under center look to be filling in like normal.

Glues 38 today.ec of around 1.0 and at the next water changer I may raise it a little as they are showing slight k deficiencies. These girls are gaining weight fast though and smell very nice.

Just won the bid on this! $345 delivered. Includes hangers, shitty 120v timer, and two Philips bulbs. The previous Hydro Crunch products I've purchased have been fine. We'll see.

I like to stick by proven companies myself. Sunsystem, hydrofarm, phantom, nanolux. Ive used their products for years and have had good luck. Never heard of hydro crunch so I can't comment on Them.

They hit 40 yesterday. Getting 450ml pbp, 200 calmag and 1 tsp of beastie bloomz/40gal. Under the hps with this amount of feeding I think the buds would be twice the size what they are now. I'm thinking I might take a hit on yield, but the quality is looking nice though.

So far personally I think the nugs are smaller. Heatwise I'm only a few degrees cooler than a 1k with my lamp at 1x the distance than I'd normally have it. Currently about 20 inches.Benefits I'm seeing are an increase in frost, lower wattage used, and this round of glue even has a little bit of a different smell.

When I saw a pulled back view of that tray it seemed like you won't get much reflected light of the sides because of that step in the wall.

If you had reflective walls boxing in under the light perhaps you would see more size?

What about density? Can you detect a difference? Squeeze the Charmin, man.

I'll give them a squeeze next time I'm In there. As for the light, the only side that doesn't seem like it gets a whole lot of light is the far left outside of the tray. I think I can remedy that with overlap though. Seeing as it's right next to my other tray once I get another light it should take care of that. The way the reflector is angled, there's not much light even going past the step in the wall. It all seems to go down in front of it at an angle.

So density wise they feel good about halfway down the plant. From half down they get a little fluffy. I swear I put glue in the tray but it just doesn't smell like it. It smells sweeter...

46 days on the glue. Ive got another 630 on the way to get the next round moving. It'll either be a bunch of ecsd,trainwreck,firestorms in cocos or a mix of forum cookies and gluetang#3s in rockwools.
