What a difference a week can make !
Huge explosion in growth and vigor, she has now doubled in height and is stacking in pre-flower .
Internodal spacing is generous
Defoliated the bottom 3 shade leaves
Strangely her new leaf growth has pale tips when they come in, but they fill to green ... I don't know if that's normal for this cultivar but she looks happy and healthy
Sorted out pH issues by lowering my res to 5.0 which is keeping the bases at around 6 - 6.2 and it seems to be working wonderfully .
If you're reading this and running XL Autopots and you're having pH issues do as I have done !
Everything is back on track
@gottagrowsometime, ever since FBTC came out of testing I've been itching to add her to my line up and can't wait to see what she produces !
Loving the 5000, it's my first bar light and I'm really impressed ... I ordered the wrong UV bars but I just strapped them to the underneath of the frame and the spread is really awesome, it had my seedlings at the far end of my tent (under a Mars Hydro TSL2000) leaning and chasing the light from it after day 1 of installation
