Bk, don't want to worry you, but your kit came with an HTG brand ballast right? It's a piece of shit. Mine crapped out on a Sunday(yesterday) so you can check in my journal to see what I had to scramble to do. Definitely have a couple CFLs on hand to keep your girls on the right time schedule for a day if you have problems. Mine have been surviving fine on 106 watts of CFL for 12 hours now but it still sucks. I hope you never have this problem but keep an eye on it.

Hi guys,
I just found this and some other journals that are growing in coco. I am a new grower as well and I have some problems with the coco coir, maybe you can tell me what's wrong. I watered my plants with PH 6 two days ago and today after watering with PH 6.0 the water runoff was 5.4-5.5. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
If you have time please check my journal
would appreciate it
cheers:peace:

Nahh I am here.....I just transplanted all of my plants yesterday. My roots all looked good in the coco....but my plants weren't growing. I bet it was a PH problem, but after looking at the two plants I had in soil, I just had to go and get a bag of Ocean's Forest and transplant.

Man, that sucks. I'll never use anything but coco. I feel like Dr. Frankenstein with a crazy experiment in my laboratory growing out of control (read: plants are getting huge!).
