Looks great! And thanks again for your input...

I always appreciate others suggestions....every grow is more education and tweaking. I may consider trying to condense my nutrient recipe in the future...gets a bit much with the current 6 or 7 formulas I mix currently...lol. I've been doing this off and on for over 10 yrs but never had the...

Thanks! Yes I'm using full line....not skipping anything. Only thing besides their line I use is hydroguard....I've always had good success with root zone using that....so I kept that in my schedule.

Thanks for the advice....I thought I was on a pretty good path...I guess everyone has different ideas....I felt they looked pretty healthy and as stated in my post above the suggested nute formula at the flip changed the N content a bit anyway. As far as the sidelight....certainly can't...

So you wouldn't have stopped the grow? I was following the Remo nutes guidelines exactly. They remove the grow formula at flip and add the bloom along with their micro, astroflower, magnical, and kelp. Like I said a few of those have N in them that wasn't present in their veg feeding...

Thanks for the advice....I agree the t5s are most likely overkill....was kind of expirementing is all. I also switched to a new nutrient line from the general hydro line to remo. I removed the "grow" at the flip which was primary source of N, however, looking at the bloom, astroflower, and...

I am not one who ever defoliates in flower. I top twice after I see 6 nodes in veg....then again about a week later to try and get 4 colas. I do light defoliation 1 week before flip then typically leave them unmolested til harvest. This is my first run with these blue mystic clones I got. I...

General rule of thumb is not to top until 5-6 nodes of growth. Can't tell for sure from picture but looks like about three on yours. I'd wait a bit.

This is the exact pump I have. I will say it does run a bit warm and has a decent hum to it when running which if you need absolute discretion in your grow room the noise may be a bit undesireable...

I used to worry about the diminished air supply when running drip ring in my dwc setup. I have multiple gh powergrower units. I worried when I used the provided single output small air pumps. They moved on average between 3-6 liters/min air to the unit split between ring and bottom resevoir...

I agree with half strength...and not to state the obvious but make sure it includes N or grow formula at a minimum.

I think I'm gonna try 4 of each in one of the sidelights alternating bulbs and leave other sidelight all 3000k bulbs and see if there is a difference. Might be a good expirement.

I don't think I can use 4 ft leds in my current t5 fixtures. I need to check though....I like that idea a lot!

I never thought of that....I'm using the typical 3000k bloom bulbs currently but certainly have 6500k spares that I use in veg. Maybe 4 3000k and 4 6500k in each fixture?

Thanks for the reply. I figured it would be worthwhile and in the grand scheme of things the extra 2 t5s running isn't pulling that much more. I've regularly pulled .60-.70 grams/watt without the sidelights. The t5s are rated 400w each but I can't imagine it will equate to an additional...

If there isn't any input I will be able to let you know at the end of the grow. I'm running clones of plants I have grown exactly the same setup before, just minus the sidelights. So I will be able to do a pretty good yield to yield comparison.

I've looked through forums and don't see much on this subject. I am trying a new setup and wondering if I'm wasting electricity. I run 2 600w hps over 6 five gallon dwc systems. I'm trying a 4 foot 8 bulb t5 flouro hanging vertical sideways on each side of my setup about 4 inches away from...
