Perhaps one day, I don't get out a lot
Lol I know the feeling. I'm like, 'vacation? What is this strange word you use?'

I'm asking about veg spectrum because I just rebuilt my last stage veg. I've been using one 860W CDM and one HPS thouie, I just rearranged and added two 600W HPS lamps. Since I grow my girls tall, I'm always looking for what will help them stretch quickly in veg.

Once they hit bloom I want that stretch to stop, and the 860W CDM lamps seem to do a decent job of not letting the stretch phase get out of hand.

I confess to being unaware of what the girding test is for? Does it help potency or just color, or?
This test is about the bulbs, do they have what is needed to cook a gold bud ? They passed, they do :)

try it under an HPS and see how long it takes,,,,,,, most I have seen fail :)

Girdling was how gold buds were made back in the day, does it make it more potent ? prolly not but does remove chlorophyll and makes smoother smoke. That bein said, I have girdled before and it is not something I regularly do, we all know if it was all that I would be doin it :)

If you have followed me at all you should know I breed for early amber (the good kind) and so another test for these Wave Point bulbs would be do they have the right UV and is there enough ?

gotta say yeppers they pass this test as well, in the past the earliest I have seen the amber was end of week 3, here we have it in week 1 and 2 :)

The week 1 plant is a Harlequin X Golden Tiger

Hey Rm3 after reading a post on jacks citrus an aquagold finisher I bought some, but didn't know, and biggest part didn't ask if it could be used in hydro. I had to find out the hard way.
Back to what I was wanting to say! I was cleaning up my shop and found that 25 pound of AG and was reading the label and notice it is used as foliar feeding in industrial crops. I've never foliar feed so I mixed up a batch and picked 2 three week old plants and misted them. Came back the next day and the 2 I sprayed were noticeable bigger than the other 2 that I didn't spray. Have you ever used it as a foliar feed? Could AG be used in hydro? Thanks
