My 24k Torch is growing fine and doesn’t seem stressed but it seems to be changing color. It was more gold and now its losing its gold color. Does anyone know why? Or has it happened to anyone else before?

Is it going more lightly colored or more brown? We have found that our 24k Torch like high light around 300-350 par and a ton of flow

We give most of them higher par and higher flow ( we keep most of the torches together). Perhaps not as high as one would provide for SPS but close making sure that the flow is indirect. We'll probably post a short video on our social media today or tomorrow if you guys want to check it out.
Brown usually means it needs more light, white means its getting too much(generally, of course. Sometimes it could be a nutrient issue)
