Hello Fellow Michigan Medical Growers , I havn't been to this site since I was a new grower back in late 08-early 09 , This site helped me learn how to grow and I owe a big thanks to everyone that posts on it . Now I see you have been doin good on your grow I just wanna throw a few things out there , For Veg use 400 watt metal halides best watt per lumen , t5's are nice low heat , but don't come close to MH's. they are actually even more $ to run for lumen to watt ratio , only advantage is can put light closer to plants but 400 watt mh isnt that hot either and as long as you have air flow no worries, for nutrients I use general hydro series , cheap and if nasa uses it , you know it's good , don't waste any $ on more expensive stuff because it will do same for more $ , GH Grow ,Micro, Bloom , KoolBloom , and I like seaweed also only like 15$ bottle , Soiless for grow medium , Bcuzz or sunshine 4 , or anything close to that is best imo , air flow and lights, cheap grey or any dark color buckets 2-3$ local hardware store work great also , this is what my rooms are made up of , well I have 3 400w MH's , 6 600's and 1k hps's , 1k will be replaced by 2 600's soon , 600's you can put closer to the plants and better lumen per watt for 600's then 1k's , i used to run 1k's when I was new but changed to 600's and way better yields IMO. Will try to read more of your posts but I have to go work on the room some more . Oh for legal purposes I am also a medical card holder and caregiver in michigan ...
I have noticed that the very tips of the new leaves on one of the BPC plants are turning whitish yellow.(pic 14) I'ts not much, but it's noticeable. All the new growth in my garden seems to be yellowish green when the leaves are new. I know that's normal to some extent, but I think mine are a little too yellow. I'm posting some new pics from today with all mh lights off. (Notice the yellowing in pic 10)
