Re: Red slime and bubbles in fuge

thanks

o hey frankie, to get a good comparison, weigh the cheato you have right now and leave your lighting on 24/7 for the next month. then weigh it in say 30 days. switch the lighting to a 12hour photoperiod and some new cheato and keep it under that for a few months then trim to match the beginning weight of the 24/7 cheato ball wait the same time frame and weigh it again. the reason;

couple things ro note; should weigh it dont go by looks. it may grow thicker or tighter.
also reason to get new cheato for the 12hour photoperiod, if it been there for awhile. not sure how long its been under 24/7 lighting, but it has been shown that prolonged periods of UV/PAR dose causes DNA changes/damage and other things. just to keep in mind.
