Hello everyone , I have this monti sitting at around 200-250 par and when I first got it it was one color , now it’s starting to get these dark blue streaks in it and I can also see a pink rim in person

Does anyone know which monti this is ? Got it at RAP but forgot to ask the name (it was an expensive frag)

Maybe juicy fruit ? Or are the blue steaks burning ? Maybe it’s at too high par ? You cannot see the streaks with pure whites only with blues / actinic

These streaks is what I’m seeing in person so don’t think it’s burning but coloring up maybe

Mine was below that and it burnt. Thats beautiful tho
Thanks for letting me know that about the par … the blue streaks in mine started getting worse in the past week , and keep getting larger while the color. At first it looked cool but now it’s starting to take away from the actual Monti color so I’m gna move it to lower , maybe 150 par and see what happens. I am now assuming that these streaks in the Monti are from slightly too high light and a sign of stress but I could be wrong.

Could be, started even lower and gradually move it up. Good luck
