I have the same problem with one of my seedlings oilmaker68, no harm in just letting it grow and see what happens.

okay day 22 since germination and I decided to take the plunge with the HID. Those with eagle eyes may note the bulb is a white coated metal halide. This is a bulb I got with the ballasts I purchased so I figured if I am losing intensity thats a good thing for now as the seedlings were under an...

thankz for that, I was going to purchase the white kind but if it leaks through the grey it will leak through the white I guess

okay guys some comments will be appreciated and thanks in advance this seedling is now approximately two weeks since germination, compared to the other seedlings which are a week older this one seems to be acting strangely, leaves are folded etc this is bag seed should I discard or give it...

I haven't smoked for 4 weeks now, since I started my grow, I plan on smoking again on my first successful harvest. In the meantime I've kept busy * playing chess, my rating has improved significantly from around 1900 to 2000 * playing Quakelive, my rating has improved from 1300 to 1600 *...

I'm basically going to use duct tape to seal my grow area, its a cupboard so theres gaps everywhere.

I think they will thrive under those conditions, well thrive is a strong word but you will get decent buds.

dude I am also on a budget, I bought three 400w HID ballasts that came with three MH bulbs and reflectors for R450, which equates to $45. I built my own air cooled reflector for $20, and thats with polished stainless steel. If we lived in the same area I would probably have given you one bulb...

I wasn't aware the OP was living in Texas, my bad.

I don't think you can stun seedlings if they start out outside, so the whole day's worth of light would be best.

I started growing some bag seed, started with the germination process on the 31st May and 18 days later we are now here. I am currently using a 85w CFL on a 20 hour cycle until the end of the month then I will switch to a 400w MH. I think by the end of the month the third set of leaves would...

You really are wasting electricity with the 600hps, they cannot absorb all the energy being released by that bulb at present. I do agree with the comments made in similiar threads that CFLs at this stage will be sufficient. The seedling that is still closed is puzzling, they take about a day to...

I can imagine your frustration but hang in there. I also just started my first grow and I'm hoping the entire thing will take four months, I doubt I could handle 3 months of flowering.

if you asking if you should use the HPS bulb for vegging then I would say no and continue using the CFL. Why not simply purchase a 250w MH bulb, it will outperform the CFL.

never could get into Audioslave, for me Chris Cornell's peak was Badmotorfinger.

I have two sets that I recorded a few years ago, nothing spectacular I just had nothing to do. I'll try to upload them (internet where I live is expensive). I'm looking to sell my mixer thats pictured there and purchase a pioneer DJM- 350, it records your mixes straight to a stick, then I will...

I've been listening to drum n bass from about 1995 when I went to my first "rave" party (yeah I'm that old!). It was in a warehouse on the harbour now known as the V&A waterfront. Anyway the main area was huge with foam, lazers and the usual over the top stuff that was all the fashion back then...

listening to the new Pixies and Queens of the Stone Age

whats the ambient temperature and where are you venting too? If the intake temp is high then that would sort of explain the higher temps
