Sugar Bomb Punch under Mars Hydro FC 6500

Hello again;

Another run under these fine lights.
We all see the powers to be are jacking the price of power, so I am running
as low of output that I feel the plant will need.

The reason I mention this; is that the dimmer %'s are lower than most would want.
This being said, is the reason I will not get to 100% of the rated output.

So let's start from the beginning :

After getting a couple of clones and cleaned up.
She will be under the lights for 15 hrs of light.
(which as it turns out will still allow a plant to go into flower).
And I later just went with 12/12 since it flipped on its own.

And a look under the FC 6500 Bar Lights on about 10~15%

My feeds are just about the same as I had been using on my older hydro BIO Bucket setup :
Jack's 3 2 1 formula and a few extras I picked up over time.

This grow is in SunShine mix #4 the big yellow bag.
In 2 gal fabric bag, later transferred to its home in a 5 gal. bag.
Like now and bottom-fed by pouring a 1-liter bottle of mix into the bottom pan.
That has been covered in perlite, just like the top covering.

ok, fast forward to day 40 ...
The light is now at about 330 watts (dimmer @ 55~60 %)
I'm feeding about every 3 days one liter of my mix.

I feel a little bad about missing the posting of weeks 1 thru 5
I do have them, just thought we might want to get to the meat of the Show.

Btw this site seems easier to use now :)

Today is day 56 and we are doing light feed
and just keeping the tent in check while I keep
cloning and filling a veg area.
Today's shots are nice but do nothing to describe the smells.

Today is day 59 and looking well, still sitting under My light at 420 actual Watts.. just over 65% on dimmer.
She is happy and showing a bit of fade.. maybe about 4 to 6 days left for early harvest.
