can i veg with a 400 hps flowering bulb i got 5 clones in jiffys then in dirt in small bags put under light for day next day lots of yellow transplanted into big pots they were root bound thought that was the problem been to week and yellow leaves aredead and cut off and new leaves forming green and starting to turn yellow just woundering in it could be because my bulb a flowering bulb or wat?
and most shade leaves are cut of now will that stunt my plants
 
lots of people use hps for their whole grow - and no, using hps does not cause the leaves to turn yellow. most likely culprit is a nute deficiency, like too little nitrogen.

and yes, if you've lost most of your fan leaves the plant will grow much more slowly.
 
i have given it small doses of thrive all perpose now got grow zilla and seem all seedlings ive put under light are turning yellow as well have intake ang outtake fans thats y i thought it might be the red spectrum
 
i don't even mess with mh, hps all the way baby, from clone to finished product... 2.5-3 lbs per 1000 watt light
 
any ideas wat it could be if it was lack of nitrogen would it still grow yellow for a bit before it recovers and goes green again and also my clones are about 10-12 inches high is it ok to give them full strenth nuits yet?
 
ya if they have a full root system you should be alright, you might wanna start thinking about flowering soon before they get to tall
 
i want to veg for another 3 weeks they have only been in for a week and half and just got rid of spider mite shade leaves died of and just starting to come green again i hope and how big should i veg them to get 2 oz per plant?
 
ya the yellowing could be nitrogen.
also make sure you're bulb isnt too close to your plants.
ive made the mistake a couple times of keeping the bulb too close and it burns my plants.
 
usually when i veg for 3-4 weeks i've gotten aroundan ounce per plant. if you're trying to get 2 ounces i would veg for 6-8 weeks.
just make sure you have enough room cuz they will get tall.

if my shade leafs are gone all ones on branches are still there how long will my plant take to heal

well if by "healing" you mean will they come back, most likely no. unless you veg forever.
but if you keep them vegging for 2 weeks and they are still thriving the chances of them undergoing further stress will be reduced.
