Oh, and btw, looks like you're overwatering a little. I'd back off and let 'em dry out a good 2-3 days. . . then you should be golden

I watered once when I got the clones and then again yday that was 5 days later. I know it looks like over-watering, but they looked like that b4 I watered them, and they were dry.Oh, and btw, looks like you're overwatering a little.

They started looking droopy after I switched from florescent to MH. I dont know if temp might be a problem, or just too much light?

It was 20" now it is 28" from the plants. The light meter is pegged at plant level.
I noticed yday the grow area was 93*F I raised the light added a lil fan (gonna put a better one in there later, and left the door open. Now temp is 82*F
Still too hot I think.
That one clone came with a yellow leaf btw,,,but got more yellow with time.
That MH ballast is fucking HOT to the touch! It is the cause of the heat, problem is, it is a 1 piece thing.

Oh, yeah, that prolly has something to do with it. Growth begins to stunt over 80*F, and all sortsa bad shit happens above 90. Throwing a bigger fan in the room will def help w/ circulation etc, so you can't go wrong there. Sounds like your light was too close, too, but like you're on the right track. If you get a big fan in there, try pointing it at your hood/ballast, and that should help cool things down. . .

It is a commercial light, with a bell like reflector...Ok I am gonna add pics to show you.... The white part is the ballast. I put a meat thermometer on it and it showed 160* on the surface.Oh, yeah, that prolly has something to do with it. Growth begins to stunt over 80*F, and all sortsa bad shit happens above 90.

I raised the light some more....It was growing sooo fast and really looking good too. Do you think it can recover?

160? Damn, the chicken is about done, son! Kidding...
Yeah, they can totally recover. I've fucked plants up before, and all it takes is a little love to get them back. You're still in pretty good shape by the looks of things. Looks like those top leaves are reaching up ok. Now just to get the other ones there, too. Careful, tho. With all the added heat, and air movement if you get a fan, your soil is going to dry up a lot faster. Just keep an eye on it...

hey guys i was going through a grow catalogue called urban gardener and found some cool new shit if no one has already.
first is the h150 led it is just one light instead of a bunch of them on a small panel. it looks to be about an inch long and puts out alot of light supposedly. I am not a LED fan at all though just thought it was cool. it can be found at kessil.com
second is a 1500 watt ballest called the sun system galaxy. it has a setting for 400,600,1000, and 1500 watts. never sen a 1500 watter so thought id share it. from sunlight supply.

What little winter we had, if you wanna call it that. The marine layer made it so gray and cloudy out that half my ladies didnt grow right.
As of now, its 10am already 63 out and we are supposed to get a high of 70.

Seriously. It's been a weird season this year. It's been cold as hell up here, but then we have some days that are pushing 70. The cherry blossoms don't know what to do, and start popping out their pretty little petals, and I'm just as confused as they are. Is it April already? No, no it's not. Now we're back to frigid fucking high 40's.. low 50's as our high, if we're lucky!
Yeah, my fall OD cycle was waaaayyyyy late due to fog hampering my agenda. Then the rains came early, and really mucked everything up. Total shit show, lol!

I saw those when I was looking at bulbs. First I saw a 1500w bulb and thought, WTF? Then I searched a bit and found the ballasts which are pretty crazy IMO.
BTW Baja, I really liked that pre '98 Bubba. Put some through the vape last night and thought the taste was much better than the stuff I got form my neighbor. I'd say it's a bit more potent too as his was a bit of a disappointment after all the hype. They both smell equally as good I think but don't smell exactly the same. Thanks for the samples!!
