Here she is Sugar Mango ryder @ 20 days.

Some observations.
She is REALLY short and bushy. So much so that it is tough to decipher what's going on. I tucked a few fan leaves tat were blocking lower shoots. Hopefully they start to stretch.
She has some nute burn and leaf curl. Original soil is just too warm. Have not given anything but some BIG BLOOM and a bit of calmag.

Almost 4 weeks. She is flowering. I see some white pistils. No deficiencies. Added a 3000k CFL for side lighting. Most shoots are pinned down to let in light.

Yea, soil a little too hot I suppose. Thx for the input. Maybe next grow I can add in some light warrior.

I like Mars and know they are recommended. I just wanted a small light and couldn't find something so small from Mars. The whole idea was to stay around 100w so Apollo was my choice. Ideally I'd have an Area 51, but am waiting for them to come out with their new model..

I'll be adding some Cree PAR 38 Floods once flowering kicks in.

A51's are pre order now. I really want to get my hands on the new red and whites.
The all white I have now are doing an excellent job!
You really have to watch the distance though with the 5 watters. I had mine too close and thought it was cal/mag. diff. but it turned out I was 12 inches. TOO CLOSE. (18 to 24) flowering. The colas weren't too happy either.
