Im in the process of doing the circle LST with mine this is my 1st grow with HID lights. grew floro 1 time was very unhappy with the yield. i will post some pics when the circle is all the way around.
I am geting this same effect on the perlit in my organic soil just the tops of the perlit turn golden the down facing side stays white for me. my plants are still doing great even with the discoloring to the perlit so i dont think its a prob at least not a big deal
