Hi

As the title says ...
I have 4 Hindu Kush by Sensi Seeds (They all look like Sativa dom hybrids ...??? One is the tallest plant I've grown indoors, I expected squat compact Indicas) IBL my a$$???
Also a couple of Satori F2's

They were 4 weeks into flowering with a 400w HPS when the ballast stopped working. No idea why.
It took me 8 days to get a replacement. Due to a couple of cock ups by the next day delivery grow shop I used.

I had them under 3 x 50w halogen spotlights, the best I could do.
The fan leaves started looking sad after five days.
Some began crisping with the fan.
I knew when I switched the light back on I'd scorch some.
This is okay as they were very unhealthy, it just made them easier to spot to remove.
So quite a radical defoliation has occurred.

I used the HPS bulb for flowering last night.
Now I'm wondering if I should use a MH vegging bulb for the remainder of the grow.
As the plant will need to grow some more leaves?
