Hey Experts,
I have two Afghani plants grown from seed. Both were vegged in a CFL grow box. One was moved to another room and put under a 250W HPS light the other was let to veg for a few more weeks then turned to flowering in the CFL box. Here are the ladies side by side today. The HPS Afghani (right side) is bigger as she's had more room and more light to work with (plus as you can see by the pots she's got a bit of a leg up on the competition.
My CFL box currently has 5 x 42W + 4 x 23W twisters bulbs at a ratio of approx 3/1:2700K/6500K. The HPS has, as stated a 250W bulb overhead plus several 42W CFL bulbs of both spectrum around the plant. The hairs of the CFL box Afghani are turning pink, the new foliage is clawing like there's a N deficiency and the lower oldest leaves are yellowing. The HPS Afghani has hairs that remains white despite flowering for longer and none of the leaves have ever curled or yellowed. They were both vegged in triple mix soil and then when upgraded into the flowering pots where filled in with Schultz's Potting Soil Plus (0.08-0.12-0.... I know stay classy, eh!. They also each have two of Jobes tomatoe fertilizer spikes for good measure (6-18-6). They get water every 2/3 days that is adjusted to approx 6ph, once a week they get some extra loving in the form of a tbsp of eggshell tea in the watering can, and recently a few dabs of molasses.
Besides the variables of phenotype, having slightly less root space and less light what can explain the clawing leaves (too much N) and pinky hairs, dark leaves and yellowing undergrowth (Ph def.) of the CFL Afghani?
Thanks
