Was not aware the op was non smoker....still may want to keep that bubba in the case that he should backslide.
I am about to flower some pre98 myself. Interested to see how she compares to the katsu version.

peace

If you have katsu then you will love the 98, I have them both and both are great cuts... But the 98 gets a bit more attention when I share her with friends... Ive only had one better bubba cut than pre98 and she is long gone.. sadly..

did you end up finding out if your bulbs needed to be replaced after a year?

Holy...! Welcome to the jungle, eh? :)

Did last weekends thaw cause you any temp/rh issues?

i had to put off pollen chucking for a few days because of it.
 
I was a smoker at one time,from 10 years old to 19.then something happened and it wasn't good.some scary shit.I'm like the 1% this happens to.it sends me into a manick fliping loose your mind see shit here shit you are never coming back to the real world stuff.but I always wanted to grow.now I'm a legal med grower in maine .funny what I grow helps people ,but it can't help me any longer.

Feel ya bud, I don't go quite as banana's as it sounds like you do, but the people who know what I'm up to find it hilarious that I don't smoke. Especially considering my father runs the local compassion club, has been an advocate for smoking weed and the medical benefits for 20 years. Shit I was turning down joints before I was old enough to grow pubic hair!. Ha. So ya def feel you, get to watch everyone reap the benefits and good times you provide. Makes me feel good that I can provide though, and shits its just straight up fun growing it.

Badass grow! That's downright inspiring...

How many foot candles are you measuring at the plants? How much of a degradation in light power are you seeing from the bulbs and over how long of a time period? Really curious to hear anything else you have to share about your findings with the light meter!
