Probably because it was taken during lights off?

True however it has been corrected in my veg techniques as I was first worried about the roots getting to the water fast enough. It seems it's always the little things that make big differences. Was .5 inches off bottom of net pot now I take the top of the rockwool flush to the top. Plenty of capillary action to get it to its destination.
 
The plant looks healthy I've never grown hydro so am not really familiar with it. Are you making beans with that plant? I've heard black rose is an excellent strain.
 
ive joined the lec 315 watt club,, purchaced 4 boulder lamp 315 agros not long ago,, maybe in june or july of last year after reading about them in high times... best investment ive made, paid for the lamps plus pocket money with the first run.. with 2 315's i yielded 800grams, blew away my hps gram per watt averages..then ran 3 315's over the same 4x6ft table and yielded over 1200 grams,,so 3 315's or 945 watts is better than 1200 watts or 2 600 watt hps hands down... love the 315's,, check out my thred if u wish,, i havnt really added any pix since the 1k hps run that really sucked ass,, im just finishing a run of mixed strains under 3 315's.. ill post new pix at the start of my next run..

the boulder lamp 315 watt cdl's were $500.00 a piece, they run the bulb horizontally which i like.. a little more expensive than the sun systems or others,, but i didnt know about the others at the time,, had i known i may have gone with the greenbeams 315 cmh lamp but im very happy with the boulders and they are now coming out with a led attachment that will provide a larger coverage and uva,uvb, and uvc to kill bacteria and prevent bugs in the grow room...its not a phillips ballast, its made by boulder, specs are on page 1 of my thred. but it runs the phillips agro bulbs and very efficiently i may add.. i am now on my 3rd run using the ceramics and my gpw has gone up with each run..i will be starting my 4th run in a few days and plan to get 1.5 gpw or better.. im running 3 315's over a 6ftx6ft area but im still using a 400 watt mh in my veg room, my 4th cdl is over a 3ftx3ft area that i use for feminizing and breeding..

this next run im taking the cover off the table, ill pack in more plants and just run flood n drain like my first run. with the cover on, i get 30 plants and the entire table has a mat of roots by the 4th week into flower.. running it with out the cover i can put more plants on the table rotate the plants, and the roots stay in the cubes..
im also starting a few new strains, 2 blueberries by spliff seeds and 3 different 5-o fems by black skull seeds,,ill also be running more of the th seeds bubblegum, bomb seeds big bomb, and homegrown fantaseeds vikings..ill see how they all grow and keep only the best quality and producing strains for future runs.. this last run i ran a few misty's, incredible bulk, and ak-48's along with my bubble gum and the misty is pure shit,,the ak-48 has great structure and lots of bud sites but not dense and they need at least 9 weeks way past 48 days,,and the incredible bulk,,big dense buds,very little stretch,but not as good as the bubble gum... sorry i rambled on,,,be well and grow well to all...
 
Here's some sannies jackberry in week two of flower they are in fives and getting daily waterings. Noticed some yellowing on the lowest leaves and it turns out that my res water, which was replaced just a few days ago and pHed to 6.0 has drifted up to ~ 7.5... Wtf? That's something to watch closely but everything is going well so far with the exception of a minor burn from a full strength feeding a few weeks back. The room is 3.5x7', glad I didn't make it six feet long because it would get too cramped trying to get in there and water, fans would be too close to the plants. The only thing I'd add for convenience is removing panda film on one side and adding a movable reflective wall for easier access. Popped four regular beans and got lucky with three females.

One SS fixture is running the 315 3k and another is running a 210w 4k.

Does anyone know is the sun systems can be run with the bulb positioned horizontally so the fixture would be pointed at a wall, for vert?
 
i dont think it would make any difference whatsoever if you were taking the whole thing and turning it on its side, i dont see how this would help you unless you vegged too long and dont have the head room and now need to flower to the side. anyone know if this would also reduce height stretch if you flowered this way?? @ttystikk uses them in vert without the reflector so you get 360degree
 
Yeah I know ttystikk uses them just don't want to invest in a vert system because I already have two fixtures. It would make a difference in yield because light use is more efficient
 
well if you flip the bulb and reflector on its side you will get the same 3.5x3.5 footprint towards the wall instead of floor, however you can aim it at bigger, more mature plants and you would probably yield more. I only got 225g out of my last 315w grow, so i am hoping to do better this round.

Yeah, just not sure if those bulbs are supposed to be run in a universal position or not, will have to look into that.
And would it be OK to run the fixture in that position?

Lamp should say U for universal, V for vertical only, or H horizontal only. It's in the part number.

If venting is vertical, I don't see a problem. They don't push enough heat to need more than natural convective cooling, so ducts and fans would be unnecessary.

it's a U and O rated bulb. can be run universal (vert/horiz) and open (no glass in reflector/no reflector)
