My Inda-gro Adventures

I had Hortilux on the phone and asked them about lamp life. I was told the MH Blue is 6 months recommended replacement at 24 hour on time. So 9-12 like an HPS lamp should still be within an acceptable output depreciation.
We will see, I too am liking what I am seeing with that lamp. Especially paired with the Hortilux Platinum ballast.

Another thing to note is that I have never noticed any shock or stall out moving from the Inda-Gro 420 to either HPS or the Blue Halide. I don't know why anyone doesn't have a IG420 in their veg room
I saw a fall off in growth after about 8 months of use. And a PAR meter confirmed. IMO 8-9 months is max for best resulys. I am sure you could eek 12 months out of it when using it along side another light source. But stand alone 6-8 months is it.

In 8 months, if yield is relatively close to hps it should have produced close to 8lb's for me in my setup. With the prices the Blue is available at online I can live with that ;-)

Any of you nutrient guru's have any thoughts on the leaf issue on that plant? I have adjusted up and down on strengths with that strain to no avail. I believe it is a calcium deficiency the way it starts out.
The other strain next to it is fed just the same and shows no issues
I liked the cat. 3 colors female , right?

Abusive by no climate controls aside from an exhaust fan in a make-shift curtain tent lol
I believe that was Platinum OG, Could have been Caramelicious, would have to do some looking back to know for sure ;)

The plastic tabletop with the holes cut to allow the net pots through. I've only ever used it as an open flood table with the tiny netpots. I'm gonna try like this!
