Mini jungle is accurate FSG. The plants are currently 3'6" to almost 4' tall!!! They have almost doubled in height in a week and a half. They started bloom at roughly 2 feet tall. This is nuts. I normally bloom at 18"to 24" and have a final height close to 3'. I will be setting my advanced lineup aside and giving powdered koolbloom a try on this run. I never did add bud igniter. As far as budding goes, tangerine kush is kicking off way faster than any of the c99. I knew the tangerine was quick, but I was expecting similar or faster with the c99. I'll keep an eye on this to see if this changes over time.

Start of week 3 update! Man this run is pushing my little tent to the max. I ran out of head room part way through last week. My reflector is currently zip tied to the center cross rail of the tent frame. The adjustable light hangers ate up valuable head room. I dialed the light back from 700w back to 630w. I'll post pictures of the 700w par readings when I get a chance. These measurements were taken at random locations at canopy level, which is 12 inches from the bulb to the canopy. All plants are hovering around the 4' mark. The back right c99 had to be super cropped as she is refusing to cooperate. I am trying to keep them in the 2x4 tent as that was the original plan for this grow. It wouldn't be apples to apples comparison if I give them the bigger tent to finish in. I will say that this light is helping them kick some serious ass. There is a noticeable difference in heat with the cmh at 700w vs the 750w hps. It's nice not having to run my hyper fan wide open to keep things where the plants like it.

So far tangerine kush is leading the charge in bud development and tricome development. C99 isn't far behind in bud development though. Both c99 on the left are pretty similar in structure and bud development. Pictures will be loaded later.

Awesome update , awaiting for the pics !!FSG.

just waiting on the pics

So the girls got their legs shaved. They are looking much more presentable! Anyhow here are pics of above/below the canopy, and par readings at 12 inches from the bulb at 700w. Just dialed light to 630w until the vertical growth calms down.

Very pretty girls.

Thanks! Everyone in the tent is super healthy and no signs of any kind of defficiencies this grow so far. There is a couple leaves with a hint of burn from them getting thirsty and raising the ppm of the res since I didn't top off the res with water soon enough. Big things are on the horizon. I'll update with details later.

nice touch with light meter!

Yea it's not a high end unit or anything, but it gets you a general idea. The cmh DE setup at 700w rocks pretty hard. It's competitive with my 1000w de phantom dimmed to 750.
Lots of light per watt, and the plants are flourishing under the light. I have a feeling I'll be getting some rock hard nugs this run. I'm also betting the gpw/ grams per square foot will be on step with my past runs. I might do some testing with the light once the run is done and map out the par readings on a grid. We shall see.

Beautiful plants FrozenFire!
that would be very nice to see a light output grid taken from a few different heights.

I see multiple UMOL readings in your pics.
Can you tell us where the readings were taken from in relation to the light and at what distance?

I think the kind of reflector on that fixture is designed to focus the light in a spot and be used further away from the canopy.

How much headroom have you got left in the tent?
I would expect C99 to have some stretch in her when you flip.
