well after a day &1/2 they still look good no drooping leavesthe 26w cfl is keeping them alive till i can get more light on them. they must have been in good health to beable too handle this.
don't give up, everyone has their share of bad days. i broke one of my 2 hps's with my fat head. you're not alone. the important thing is to forge ahead. if you don't give up, you will succeed. good luck, and hang in there!
just got 2 new timers from manardes and 3 23w cfls.so non they are doing good on life suport till i can get a new high watt cfl. will b4e getting a back up bulb as well. i will be damned if i am going to let them die till i am ready to harvest.
