Headband s1 day 59,... Pink Runtz day 32, the buds don't seem right. The clones barely rooted, won't grow, and looks like they want to flower. The guy never said they were auto,... blueberries day 14 killed two males 2.5 girls so far,... Voodoo Thai clone day 11IMG_20240122_225645297.jpgIMG_20240122_225654742.jpgIMG_20240122_230225844.jpgIMG_20240122_230247217.jpgIMG_20240122_230350716.jpg

The pink runtz clones ain't right. I still can't tell but I think it might be auto. The buds don't look or smell right either. Pincil dicks IMG_20240124_230221559.jpgIMG_20240124_230452642.jpg

The two year old pollen looks like it made a few seeds, but it might be loose pollen from Pink Runtz. I won't know until I grow both, then it should be easy to tell the pink Runtz from the stinky pinky-so stay tuned for more scientific experiment in pollen chucking.

Watching your game with the new light~! :cool:👊
I am old school at heart.
 
Where there is a will there is a way.
Looks like that light can be vented?

Not this one, but they do have a vented hood option. That would be defeating the purpose for me, since it would block UV. This is a great $90 supplemental light for anyone who needs more heat in the winter. Plus, I'll be shocked if it doesn't improve the taste. I'm running a clone now to compare.

Ive been thinking about picking up HID/MH bulbs and a fixture, and running them in the winter. Gets cold in my room fast and heating it is a real bitch.
650+/- watts of led in a 4x4, and cant get over 75 on 100%😳

I read somewhere that an MH main product is heat, and light is just a by product. Whatever it is plants love it, and its almost impossible to have too much.
 
I'm still not sure whats up with the pink runtz; the clones took forever to root, started flowering, now looks like it's trying to reveg. WTF is going on here? Is there such thing as a SEMI AUTO?

There are what is called Fast Photos. I think that is what they are called.
They are unreliably halfway in-between autos and photos.
I grew one fast outdoors 2 years ago and it started to flower on June 21.
Not hard to remember when a "fast photo" starts flowering on the longest day of the year~!:oops:

Pipecarver revegged an auto. I think he started that when we all joined here.
Not even sure how he did it or if it was on purpose, but yeah. He revegged an auto!

This is just weird; the mama buds are pencil dicks. Maybe because it wants to flower under 18 hours? idk, maybe it was just the incredible bad weather and it's really photo? I'm gonna try to keep it alive until I taste the bud-it looks good, just small.
 
Pink Runtz day 46,... blueberries day 28,... Voodoo Thai day 25

There is no starter for the ballast is there?
 
No, but I'm pretty sure the bulb is not the problem. Maybe some HID guys know.
It could be the bulb, I had a mix with bulbs up and thought I'd blown another ballast because I've not seen an hps lamp go out like that. I switched ballasts still nothing, I changed the socket, still nothing. I put in another bulb and lights action.

I've had to replace 2 of 3 parts to the old mechanical ballasts a few times. I went back to the old mechanical after blowing 2 electronic in 4 years, other than noise and heat...that I like..... I rather have the old for their longevity & how cheap the kits are over the new crappy electronic hps ballasts
 
I meant capacitor. 🥴
It may half fire if capacitor is gone...or be swollen....like an old milk carton the capacitor will swell like that and bulge its seams out. I think if the starter is fried the light is just out......careful with the capacitor...short it out ...not you....its still live even after disconnecting.
 
That's right capacitors hold charge. Careful, bulge is correct too, blown cap. SS Oh forgot to say high, Go Grown
 
Thanks for all the replys guys.
I just called HTG and a real person answered on the second ring. Within 3 minutes I have a new light on the way. The guy didn't know if it's the light or ballast. He said I should have a new set in 3-4 days and a lablel to send the broken one back.
AC infinity did the same on an almost 2 year old light- not sure how long the htg warranty is.
