They only make grow lights so idk, but they've got to be better than i-power

I'll see if the second i-power bulb works tonight and go from there
 
Have you ever replaced the capacitor?
IME little experience they are the fire it up part.. And cheapest part to start on.
No clue if you use newer digital ballast. I remember the old school multivolt ballast.
A good bulb could be $100 IMO. Hortilux was going to be my recommendation also.

No I just bought another (digital) ballast, it only does it when the high pressure sodium bulb is installed so seems to me it's got to be the bulb.

The other bulb is in now so I'll see what happens in less than 6 hours
 
They arrived here in NY about 2 weeks ago, but not on the regular yet.
We have had a couple that went to where we had feeders last year like they knew.
Wondering if it is possible they are returning to us and have been " here " before.
They are so cool.
We get humming bird moths eventually when the flowers are all blooming nice mid summer.

saw one about a week ago but didn't see any others until today, was a whole bunch of them out there at one point. I never heard of hummingbird moths, I'll have to look that one up

From a distance it is easy to think they are bumble bees or the like.
They are very cool and like the same flowers hummingbirds do.
They look like shrimp with wings to me and are the coolest thing in summer to me.
Used to see walking sticks also but not in years now.

Passing a window last night in the wee hours I happened to see a red fox running up the middle of the road -only second one I've seen since I've been here

Okay I got to say it cuz it's been bothering me, it looked like a fox to me but there's a chance it could have been a coyote

Regardless, we've got bigger problems now 😳Screenshot_20250516-184706~2.jpg

Black bear were rare in my area when I was young. It was pretty exciting to see one. Now, they're thick and a nuisance. I have to keep the garbage locked up or they come through and create a trail of trash dragging it through the woods. I pretty much like all animals, but prefer black bear being further from home, lol.

We have red foxes, but they're less common. We have more gray foxes around here. They used to be really thick when I was a kid. There was a butcher shop that used to dump bones back in a hollow. There were some run-ins with rabid foxes. Neighbors killed one trying to get into a pen with their coon dogs. There were a few stories like that. Chop the fox's head off and send it in for testing.

That's the same road I hit the deer on but I have no idea what part of the road that picture was from

I read that all these solar farms that they're putting in in these rural areas are driving them into the more settled areas, don't know if that's true but it sounds reasonable

We had a confirmed rabid raccoon next town over recently 😕
 
After the spring of 23, the year locals call 'The Summer With No Tomatoes' when I had more than one fire in June (I said June) this doesn't surprise me

I'll be going out when this coffee kicks in to split kindling and to bring up a week's worth of firewood (a week!)

Rain with Highs in the low 50s all week, and nighttime Low's in the upper 30s 🥶

At some point tonight or tomorrow morning I'll light the fire and keep a small fire burning in a back corner all week

this will take the 60% humidity out of the house helping my arthritis, and should give me comfortable temperatures in the mid-70s all week

I'll give this coffee about 5 minutes or a couple more hits out of this hash pipe and if it doesn't kick in then I'm going to go brew another one cuz I want to get this done this morning

Ordered another cord of wood yesterday so I can expand my firewood sculpture! 🤣

Okay so it's not exactly a 'sculpture'🗿
I might get away with calling it a firewood 'feature'🙄 ...but it's just a stack

Anyway I got to hang that carbon filter my God my house stinks! 🤭🦨

I know it's not the Greenpoint cuz I grew four last run and they didn't smell at all, it's got to be those two Platinum kush

Man do they stink! especially just before and during lights out, I can smell them right now at the far end of the house

Think I figured out who dug under the concrete slab by my garage side door

I've seen it at night but never in the day

I didn't fill the hole in because I didn't want to bury anything in there or if it had babies in there

I don't mess with things outside I let them pretty much do their thing

as long as they stay out of my gardens 🧑🏻‍🌾 that's the deal breakerIMG_20250519_095954~2.jpg
 
I'm seeing more yellowing than I'm comfortable with at this point in flower

I'm thinking it's a magnesium deficiency, it's bottom leaves, any opinions welcomed

Feeding Masterblend @600ppm last runoff was 6.6 in promix

Do you add Epsom salts through veg? I start with 1tsp/gal as soon I start feeding my plants and continue through to 3rd week in flower when I switch to cal/mag at 5ml/gal

I should have added they have been in flower one month today, could it be normal fade?

Master blend is 3 part: 2.4 g Master blend, 1.2 g magnesium (epsom salts) and 2.4 g calcium nitrate per gallon

That mix gives me 750ppm which I cut to 600-650

so they're always getting some magnesium, one was top dressed with Epsom salt when I noticed this about a month ago, but now I see it on several plants

Around this point I start reducing the calcium nitrate and upping the Masterblend and magnesium ratio per gallon

I love skunks. I just worry about running up on one and startling it on accident. They're so darn cute. I don't know if they eat grubs like Bandit's armadillos, but I do know they'll dig up and eat bumble bee nests in the ground. Those suckers have lit me up a few times. So, go skunks!

Does it looks like normal fade at 1month?

They've got about six more weeks to go

I'm planning on spraying them with a magnesium mixture tonight

I don't think there is.." normal fade " until you cut back on nutes late in flower. If you get earlier than that I think its a feed issue. With my feed schedule I don't get any fade through flower until I cut back...even then most don't yellow up. Here's a pic of another CriticalMay 18 Critical Kush Green.JPG Kush I didn't lollypop and I still have green to the bottom 79 days into flower. Looks a bit dark green in pic but I cut back on both Micro & Grow to 3 ml/gal at week 6 going to 11

My yellowing stopped when I started using Epsom salts through veg then switching to Cal/mag week 3 of flower
