Yep but they're currently bringing new tech out every day with that. Fluros have been replaced with LEDs but they price is through the roof. A lot of shops are selling the old fluros pretty cheap. I got mine half price which is why I thought I'd try it out. Don't use a reptile ballast. they're useless af for the garden as they designed to spread the light on a small space. Check out how I've got them hanging on my grow. I hate it lol and it's a dodgy half assed effort at adding UV. But if you just have a couple of plants it'd be fine. I'm looking into ordering UV LED Diodes and making my own UV bar but that's more of a side hobby.

Pollen sacks or powdery mildew?I noticed what I thought was powdery mildew on a leaf, then noticed funny looking things right next to the powder.

How tall will they grow to be?How tall will these outdoor untrained, soil based photoperiod plants grow to be (best rough guess)? I believe they're a sativa-dominant Sour strain (either Ultra Sour or S.A.G.E and Sour bag-seed). Currently over 1 meter tall from soil at 60 days old in 7 Gallon pot.

Fall Recovery How is the seedling looking? She took a fall yesterday afternoon and I immediately rescued her as I could and repotted into final 3 gallon fabric pot (actually 5 gallon but only had enough Coco Loco for 3 gallons). Thank you for the read, happy growing and learning. :)

Plant Topped Itself at 3rd node? Stress or mutation/morphology?This plant split into two shoot apical meristems at 3rd node, I think? Is this due to stress, or a plant morphology/mutation? Pic 1 = weeks before pic 2. Pic 2 = 3rd node & 2 stems. Pic 3 = strain name.

Will this tape repair a broken stem?Should I re-wrap this broken stem? Bent with too much pressure and there was a snap, though not completely severed. I applied two or three layers of duct tape, not sure if the constant pull of ties will allow it to heal and repair. When should I take the tape off?
