Ok, so apart from the nute burn (Ooops :/) how do my babies look? They are almost 3 weeks old, grew with 250w CFl and have now moved on to a 600w HPS. Using MG nutes for veg and will be using big blud for flower.

I'm having a hard time cooling my cuboard with this new 600w :/ - any suggestions? I'm on a budget btw so no expensive items ;-)!

they look wilty and unhappy... possible watering issue? heat stress from the hps?
 
Well, i watered about an hour b4 the light went off and they were pretty dry so I think they'll perk up later when they start using the water but I have no doubt there is probably some heat stress. I have 2 small PC fans in the cuboard and I leave the door open with a huge fan blowing in - it seems to be keeping the heat at bay but it's not a total fix :/
 
Yeah i agree they are curling down and cupping up at the same time, deff a heat issue and a little over watered, other than that they are nice and green. You need to get some ventalation going and you will be cool.

exactly what i was gonna say... you need more than a pc fan exhausting your hps, definitely. I know what it's like having no $ and needing equip.

ya you can do it the cheapest by buying a 6 inch inline for exhausting the space and use your pc fan to bring air in plus have some passive cool air flowing... that's the best I got without cool tubing it
 
Yeah i was going to say one intake fan (your PC) and two out takes one high and one low. 4 or 6 inchers would work. Thos HPS are hard to cool with out the hood vents and tubes man.
 
yup, i have 600w hps, that bitch heats my whole house in the damn winter....i dont use heater, just HPS..lol...j/k but it could if i tryed im sure of it

The simplest cheapest way to cool your lamp is with a small 6" oscillating fan blowing on the lamp. This is how i cool my 400w hps in a small space but i also have extraction to suit.

I have a fan blowing on the light alrdy but there was some initial heat stress from when I didn't. It's a bit noisy and bulky tho so I'm going to invest in an extracor fan - posted another thread about how to power one.

I know they are overwatered - the lamp drys out my pots super fast when I first installed it and I've had to water a bit more than usual but I'm managing now.
 
M8 do yourself a favour. fuck the 600w for now its doing more damage then good, put the cfl in ther so they dont fuck up from heat stress and when u can cool the cabinet sufficiently (with the doors closed) put the 600w back in. use it as a reward for getting your ventilation issues fixed first :) you have a lovely looking indica there my friend please dont murder her

Heres a very useful thread for you :

Sounds like sound advice I needed to hear - I was thinking of doing the same thing but thought I could stay on top of it. It was A LOT easier with my CFL..

Your fan will come with wiring instructions if it does not come with the flex cable al ready wired.
