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.

why distilled water when you can use tap?

sure, you should give them 200ml of water everyday during veg, then cut it down to 200ml every other day when flowering begins, then at week 4, give them 400ml for the rest of their lifespan.

i swtiched back from my hps light to my florecent lights it was just way to hot it was getting up to 90 degrees.

 

[tusseltussel]

so how long have they been growing in total?

Metal Halide would probably be your best bet. Never used it though but im pretty sure it will fit in your hps ballast.

Glad to help.

a mh conversion bulb is requiered to run a mh in a hps ballast unless its a switchable digital ballast

water that much and you will drown your plan, it will die... water until you have 20% runoff and dnt add any until you can pok your finger in up to the second knuckle and feel no moisture roots need oxygen and overwatering will starve rot and kill roots

i swtiched back from my hps light to my florecent lights it was just way to hot it was getting up to 90 degrees.

get your ventilation in check and get the mh conversion bulb and you will love the results

they work, but what is your major concern with the lights....like what are you attempting to cut heat, cost ????

nothing at all i just want them to grow faster. Cause there growin hella slow

no. 200mL is about the amount of water you can hold in your hands when you cup them together. I have my plant in a 5 gallon bucket- 200ml is not even nearly enough to produce any water runoff from the bottom of the pot.

If you want to grow faster, flourescents would be your last option. HID's would be your primary.

 

[Rick McNasty]

yeah hid would be the best and also hydro over soil makes them grow faster
