UK New G

I used biobizz light mix and the starter nute pack for a couple of grows. Did my first auto grow using them and still use the soil and top max along with mega crop nutrients. Easy to use. For autos I'd start about half the recommended dose and slowly bump it up over a few weeks. The plants will tell you if they want more or less too.

When you switch in future, just do a hard switch, dont drop it gradually. I've researched this myself I'm yet to find anything that suggests this has any benefit.

Don't mess with your lighting too much, it will just stress them. The sweet spot for Autos i've heard is 20/4, but i don't grow autos. I go with 18/6 for photo period. When you flip, don't change the lighting. Only time i do this is late in flower if i want to encourage them to mature. Even then, I change it and dont change it back.

Just for the sake of trying to salvage 5 months of effort, maybe just give the one last shot by putting them in 48 hours of darkness. If they don't show pistils in a week maybe you do just cull them and move on. But it's up to you. You know them better than us.
 
There's some good lighting options that won't break the bank. @Mars Hydro have some great lights very reasonably priced and have a UK warehouse. They should be able to sort you out a discount too.

The TSW2000 might be a good option.

I so tempted to pull but im sat here looking at em thinking how much time and effort they've had haha

Appreciate the advice.. Are there any other brands that are worth checking out as well?

There are loads of companies out there. A few sponsors 420.

I've only ever used Mars Hydro lighting. Affordable and they work, really well.
 
There's a few UK ones but Mars are the only sponsor here really unless you want to pay a load for shipping. I only just started using a Mars light last night but loads of people have had good results with them.
 
I'd give the ones you've got a blast under the new light and see what happens.
 
You've got a good light there. Prepare to be blinded :laugh: Much better so see the health of your plants under the white lights too.

Thanks.. can't wait for the cataracts lol
I think its the last link in the chain really.. like all other issues I learned and improved even tried to improve the light on the cheap but really its the only thing that's really been letting it down.. in my unprofessional opinion hahaha
