She is getting full strength as of today. Figuring two more weeks till I switch to 12/12.

I am running two airstones. Have the extra capacity so why not

So she is growing well

So after changing the nutrients yesterday I am still trying to get the PH in an optimal range.
I will get it stable soon this girl is growing!

So guys I have an overall Question. Right now I am Running my light at 70% of my power. Its a 600 MH conversion bulb. Should I be running it at full power now. Give me the benefits and drawbacks of running more lumens. I really want it is have good spacing between nodes

In my own opinion young plants do not require much wattage or lumens as they do in flower.
I would only be running that bulb at full whack if you had more plants in the tent and you needed better light coverage.
Id also only run it at full power if you were to use it during flowering along side a HPS as dual spectrum's are what a plants craves.
If you find the plants are stretching to much you could turn it on to full power or just move the plants closer to the light.
Hope this helps.

Will be going to a HPS during flower. Don't think it's a dual spectrum bulb.

If you have the means you should try run your MH bulb along side the HPS for flowering then you get a mix of 2700k from the HPS and 6400k from the MH which gives you a combined spectrum of 4000k which is what the sun reads at.
