I've got a Quantum ballast hooked up to a 600w Hortilux bulb mounted in a Cool Tube cooled by a 6"duct fan. This is inside a 4' x 4' x 8' grow tent.
There are 3 Afghan Kush plants and 2 Blueberry Mystic inside the tent that are currently in flower, they've been there for 38 days now, and are getting heavy with buds by the day.
Now the plants themselves are starting to show a few fan leaves that are drying out and curling, I'm inclined to think it's a natural part of the plant developing buds, some of the plant tops have grown and are about 6" or 8" from the bottom of the Cool Tube.
I water them about every other day making sure not to over-water, I've been using Fox Farm nutrients as directed.
My question is whether i should cut back on the strength of the lighting as the ballast has a few settings that are like 50% or 75%, should I cut the ballast to a lower setting at some stage during the flowering process?
