All these clones are on the Botanicare Kind system since rooted up and I have to say I like it, I've used the pure blend pro line in the past but like this a bit more, no salt build up and very easy to mix in the water. Another addition to this grow is agricultural organics silica bloom, now I might be going a bit overboard here but i think it crushes silica blast imho. These are the sturdiest plants I've ever had as far as branch strength. The biggest plant is my white russian mother and is huuuge, the trunk is a beast, big numbers coming this run. My last were an average of 3.5 zips whoever followed my last run and I wasn't thrilled but i never do to well on a seed run.

Alot can happen happen in almost a week I guess, a few plants took off to reach up 42" from soil level! The tallest is still the white russian mother plant at 46" but the other clones were only 20-24" at flip. here are some pics at day 13 flower...nothing to write home about but i love posting updates lol

Thanks Hyroot, appreciate that, being my first time with cmh idk if its the power of the 900 version (860 watt bulbs 900 total with ballast i think) or what but I'm seeing no difference in terms of anything negative going on by making the switch from 1000 watt hps! Very healthy and more branching like you said, which can only turn into more bud sites I would assume. I'm also using 7 gal fabric pots which should help with yield as well, they drink 3 gal of water every 3 days so they have plenty of root action going on.

looking good. Those 860's really gets to the lower growth really well. Those have such high Par ratings....

The bud growth "so far" fingers crossed is very similar pretty far down , about 2 & 1/2ft of cola length. I always loli pop just to be sure I get nice tops but with these lights who knows if you even need to lol. Im pleased so far, and the white russian mother under the 1000watt hps in the middle is not as happy or green as every other plant....could be something off with the nutes being as I never flowered a mother plant before. I didnt have problems flowering this strain before under hps so its prob safe to say its my fault. But with that said all the plants are on the same feeding regiment and very happy under the cmh :)

Hey guys n gals back for a quick update on day 25 flower, things are really starting to kick into gear now. Idk if its being new to cmh or the blue reflection of the bulb is deceiving me but i swear the resin production is booming for this early for these particular strains....and you guys know i have done led and hps runs (def a hps fan for years). But ill let you guys be the judge , had to post some new pics to show close ups enjoy :) Last one is a freehand pumpkin carving contest I entered..

Fargin beautiful. The colas in pic 2 are nutz...

My camera sucks at close ups too. Its hard to capture the trichomes in my pics.

do the 860's / 900's put alot of heat? More or less or same as a 600 hps?

I wonder if they are too hot for vert bare bulb

Thanks Hyroot, and yes i should've used my girls canon for the close ups as she has a macro lens, i will next time! As far as heat they are prob equal to a 600 hps, because they are much cooler than my 1000 watt hps thats for sure. i bet these would be an absolute killlller in bare vert, if i didn't already have the investment in the og hoods i wouldve def tried them bare.
