I like that lighting set up. Very neat looking. I hate seeing it all messy in peoples boxes. Your clones look like they have a lot of spots for growth to start, very good. Keep up the great work man.

thanks man. i try to keep things neat. the past 2 nights my leaves have been wilting. im not quite sure why though. last night they were wilting i figured it was becuase they needed to be watered and it was about time for another watering so i watered them with some nuted and ph'd water. this morning when i woke up everything looked fine. then tonight at about 12 i looked at them and the leaves were wilting again. anyone have any opinions on what could be wrong?

Hey man nice grow! I want to get some Pk too but damn bluesky always sells out.
The plants drooping at night before lights off is common, it's probably not from them being thirsty.
A lot of times mine will look droopy at night, but be perked back up in the morning, I guess the plants know when its time for night so they don't waste energy staying all perked up towards the light.
I would only be concerned about them being under watered if they looked like that at night, and then again in the morning, but I'm pretty sure they will always perk back up in the morning.

thanks. yeah i think that is what it is because this morning when i wokr up they were perked back up and i didnt water them. so i guess they just know when its time to rest. and blue sky does sell out fast. i had to go between 9 and 10 to get some. if you go any later than that you'll be out of luck...

So I got my 600w HPS yesterday from HTG. Digital ballast, air cooled hood, HPS bulb and MH conversion bulb. I set it up today and put the plants under it including a new White widow plant i got from my uncle. Hopefully they will like the new HPS and grow like crazy! Ill take some pictures as soon as i get my camera back....
