Got my 10k DE MH bulbs today. Can't wait to see how they do on the last 10-14 days. Probably do 10 days in one room and 14 in the other to compare.
So the idea is by switching to MH for last 10-14 days you will increase resin production?

Thats the theory. I will probably do it for the last 7 to 10 days actually.

Let the HPS get the yield and when finishing bump up the resin with UV.

They call them finishing bulbs because of the extra levels of UV output.
Cool, i read an article the other day regarding this topic. Same article claimed having MH in with your hps during late flower was also beneficial.

atleast thats how i understood it lol

I hope the bulbs work out for ya, will be cool to see the end result.

So I ordered a couple Nanolux 1000w DE CMH lights with 3100k bulbs to try on a row in the next run. I hope they yield as good or better with less heat output. If they actually out yield the DE HPS I will probably move all my overhead lights over to CMH.

Been using Nanolux for the past 6 or seven grows and love them. No problems.

been thinking about doing the same. seems like places have trouble keeping them in stock. every time i go to order some, i can only find ballasts but no bulbs or vice versa. where did you order from?

that sucks, i dont want to swap out half a room of lights without testing them first.
looks like ill be pulling up a chair for your test run

I hear ya, I didn't wanna have to buy 4 bulbs for 2 lights but I guess I'll have some spares...

Trying to figure out if I wanna test the new lights in the middle row or a side row.

my 2 cents- run them on the side. theres going to be some spillover no matter what, but to get the best cmh to hps comparison without running in separate rooms, i would keep both as isolated as i could

Beautiful setup.

It's all about the veg time with yield, can't stress that enough. leaf nodes=buds.

I'm curious about your cloning technique. Have they initiated flowering when you cut them?? That with a veg that long and cutting that late I have to assume they are.

I know revegging makes for a fast growing spindly plant for sure.

They have nice little pea sized nugs on the tops when I cut them, they get a little larger while rooting and then they bust out a lot of branching. It helps me slow them down too so they don't get too large before I can move them into the flowering rooms.

Day 55 update:

Plants are ripening, fan leaves are giving up their nitrogen to make buds. I plan to put in the 10k bulbs in room B tonite while it's dark.

Also a pic of my girls Do-Si-Do plant in a 5 gallon bucket on a dolly. Not bad for a mobile plant that's not directly under a light.
