Yes there are 4 sets of tubs. 2 in each area.

The #2 tubs are flowering. We did not extend the PAD lights (on time) in tubs #2 because of light bleed into the tub #1 section. Both sets of tubs #1 and #2 are on the same trimmers and are divided by a side wall (but not the fronts). So instead of using some kind of blocking wall in the front at this time we just put tub o clones #2 into flowering.

AS far as the red cfl's go, There are two 13 watt red cfl's per section. In tub O clones #1 they are on each side of the hood. In tub o clones #2 they are more in the middle of the hood.
Both areas have the PAD lights on light movers with the HPS hood. So I guess they are being somewhat distributed evenly

Just a side wall at this point.

If you're running the same timing schedule in both, then separating the spectrums is the key to separating the results, since you can have vegging under one PAD spectrum and Flowering under another PAD spectrum while using the same scheduling timers to run both.
We are going to work on this for the future.

They look on schedule for 3 weeks of flowering to us. I know the blueberry looks small. It doesn't have verry large yields.

If they start to slow in growth. Should the PAD light (on time) go up or down?
