well if i see a difference in the next few weeks i will keep it but if not al revert back to cfl cos there cheaper lol
but i`m sure the amount of lumens coming off the hps will be adiquate compared to cfls lol

yeh no probs
ive been using rooting power and i aint too keen on it and it dont taste right nice lol only kidding it has a sweet taste nah on a serious note i thought i would try the gel as most people use it
and the water storing granuals i thought i would try on 1 plant and see if it helps

ive had a quick look on the FAQ but cant really find much info on the distance a 400w HPS light needs to be away from the plants can someone please avise me.
cheers
Click to expand...
your hps should be as close as possible to your plants as they can get without burning them... a good rule of thumb is to put your hand underneath your light and if it feels too hot it's probably too hot for your plants.

i have the same problem 7.0ph but my plants dont seem to be suffering(quite the opposite).ive seen this stuff in an aquarium centre called PHDown 6.5....it automatically sets your waters ph level to 6.5 when added...i might give it a go....its about £8 from pets at home prollt cheaper elsewhere
