get a 400wtt mh bulb and run it during veg with your cfl's. you will get a lot better light penatration threw the plant. i run a 400wtt mh for 30 days of my veg. then i will take out my1000wtt hps bulb and replace it with my 1000wtt mh bulb and finish veg cycle with that. wow what a big growth difference

yes that looks good. just to be safe hold your hand over the top of your plants for about a min. if its to hot to keep there then move it up. and if you can go buy a mh bulb that would be way better. that soil still looks dry.

Its Not to hot but its warm. i mean if i put my hand there for awile it wont burn it. Another thing. My time is only a 2 way plug-in. i mean like You cant put the ground into the timer. The light has the 3 way metal things in there you plug it in. Should i take off the ground to the light or buy a new timer???

UPDATE NEW 400 WATT HPS LIGHT IN GROWROOM!!!bongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmiliebongsmilie Okay is this to low/high??? Thanks Im hella stoked haha :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
that looks really nice. do you have a fan laying around? It would be a really nice add-in which will ensure your plants will develop strong stems when they get a little bigger.

The plants look just a bit small for their age. but that problem is solved now that you have some real lighting. you should probably think of the plants as 1 week old and let them grow under this new setup for another 3 weeks. I need a ballast too. where did you get urs from Ak? wbu Mygirls? I need to go to a store where I can go to buy them, not online.

and dont use nutes yet. your soil is good enough for now.

keep the updates commin man. im going to make sure this grow will work for you.

buy a new timer with the grounds. that is important.
yea they're just 1 or 2 bucks more expensive than the one u have now. I have an orange wire that takes 3 ground plugs and changes them to a 2-prong outlet so i can plug it into my 2-prong timer. the orange wire is cut at the end and continued by a vaccuum wire.

fem seeds I believe are only like 80% female. Looks like a pretty nice setup with good soil. Do you have a PH tester yet? It's a must have...trust me.

How old are they? I veg mine for like 6 weeks and they'll hit 3 feet. you should do some reading on LST, FIM, and topping. You'll get some nice little bushes!

Be careful of the heat coming from the HPS in the closet. It could get toasty in there!

Lookin' good!

oh ya when i was talking about adding a fan, i forgot to mention the main reason to have it was to disperse the heat comming from the hps.

I got my PH tester at a local hydro shop. I've heard they have kits at lowes, home depot, or anywhere they have pool supplies.

I buy gallons of distilled water from the grocery store.

Glad to hear the plants are doing better. You can use tap water but you should let it sit for at least 20 mins. before using it so that the chlorine gets evaporated out. usually people fill up a bucket or gallon and let it sit overnight before using it.

do you know how to give a +rep? theres a green plus sign on the top right corner of every message. you would click that when someone gives you a piece of info that may benefit you in some way or another. just saying :grin:
