Wuts up fellow potheads,
I have a few simple questions, hoping to get a few answers, I could search for a good 15 minutes and search each question individually, but I'm on my phone and too lazy to do all that so I'm just gonna ask a few questions. Please do not tell me to refer to google lol.

I just put my lttle girls under a 600watt hps, I have it about 25 inches above them. Too high? Too low?

I have fox farm grow big, will that help the purple cast on the stems, and make them stronger (they are appearing to wilt, and yes they are watered well) if that's not how to help the stems get stronger, what will?

And I also have a bottle of cal-mag, should I use this during every watering during both vegetative and flowering stages? If not when do I use it?

Thanks, any replies that help +rep.

you need to have a fan on them to strengthen the stems... and keep an eye on them under the hps,,if they look like they are burning or stressing,,then move the light further away

25 inches, I think is way too far away, I think. I would have it at least 12-16" away depending on what you have to move the heat away. A fan blowing over the tops will dissapate the heat and allow you to move the lights closer as well as it will strenghten the stalk.
