Probalby wont get new lights in time for flowering. Hoping to get the LEDS around december in time for round two. For now its just what I posted on page one.

Day nine. A better picture of the whole setup.

Day ten. My healthiest plant.Right under the plasma. I think she is cute...

Day 13.

Out of the 20 plants I have, one is an odd ball. Not sure if its just the seed or if something is wrong already. She gets the same treatment as the other ladies, yet she has always looked a bit odd and smaller than the others (see previous photo to compare).


Is something wrong with her or is she just odd?

Maybe its "root stunting" as these leaves are distorted. Checked on a few posts and i think thats it but not sure what to do about it. Any ideas to help this lady?

Your over watering that's all......yes the roots aren't happy but an easy fix

Day 14. Here are a few pictures..

Day 17. Just topped every plant with a sterilizered razor blade. Ladies seem happy for the most part.

If plasma has the full spectrum of light, why would you need HPS for red?

Its a metal halide plasma, not sulfur.....hence why the red(hps) supplementation is needed

Also the plasma can't quite cover 4X4 footprint so the HPS also supplement the light amount for the edge plants

That too^^ .........hey have you been able to check the power draw of those 150w hps with a kilo watt meter? Wondering if they fixed the issues with them drawing more than 3 amps!! Lol

plants look happy.....keep it up
