To start off with this is not my first grow just first hps grow.
I have a 600 watt air coolled hood with 6" inline fan and carbon filter.

I ordered everything from HTG except for the tent that came through florahydroponics (off of amazon.com). Its the 600 watt digital system that starts out at 199 i added the easycool 6 got the 6" fan/filter combo hygrometer for aroung 500.00 then the tent was 225.00.

I have four plants only abouy a month from seed. They seem to be doing nicely under my cfl's so i'm hoping to see some even better results under the HPS. Just some bagseeds i got out of a kush genetic, not too sure of the lineage on the genetics but some very potent smoke. one of the plants has a little bit of a "droop" issue but they have only been under the hps for 2 days. temps are good between 75 and 83. 75 at night and 83 in the day. For them atleast i run lights 9pm to 9am to battle the heat outside. hasn't been too bad lately though, in the 60's. However humidity is hovering about 35-38 during the lights on, while soaring to 60 at lights off. i am going to get a humidifier on friday to see if it helps. here are some pics.

The drooping of the leaves started this morning when I looked in to check the temp and humidity. I'm not sure wat is causing it, the other plants seem fine. Could it just be stress from the transfer from cfl to hid or the low humidity issue. Unfortunately I have no records of the temp/ humidity levels before I got the hygrometer. Any ideas would be helpful.
