Hi, was just wondering how long into the 10hr photoperiod before your plants start pearling and when they peak?

Cheers
 
Groovy, mine takes just over 3hrs with 1.54WPG so it seems fair

Thanks
 
Pearling eh, mine seem to start within 10-15 minutes of the lights coming on, possibly depends if your CO2 is started when the lights come on or whether it starts before they come on in order to build the levels up to a decent value. If CO2 starts with the lights then you are waiting for the CO2 levels to build up to a level where the plants can start to use enough of it to pearl, if CO2 starts before lights (e.g. a Nutrafin kit which is on all the time like mine) then when the lights come on the plants will be able to use CO2 straight away. At least that's how I understand it!
