I got the ballast in but when I put in the hps it didn't go on but I put the mh bulb and its working should I keep it and do dual spectrum or where can I find a mh conversion into hps the only conversion bulbs I found are mh to be used in a hps ballast. Or hps to be used as a mh. The ballast says hps right on it

Here is the bagseed looking great now 25" tall and 18" around and we have pistils it's a girl!

She is leaning because she was stretching for light but now she will have the 600 to herself for probably another week or two

After this post the jack will not be leaving the grow room for updates she is getting to heavy my grow room is only 33 1/2" wide measuring her now she is 3'x3' and 2 feet tall
I know it's fuzzy but hopefully you can see those pistils, from what I can see there is at least 13 top colas she is gonna have the 400 watt to herself

View attachment 2467986The updated grow room with the new light it's 77 degrees not bad i put the small seedling in because my caregiver just told me the clones will be ready next week so I said fuck it. Ill let the two nice seedlings grow for the next week and put the dinky ones under the 600 watt. I just ordered another 400 watt mh bulb because I fucking bumped mine and it broke. so I will hang the 400 watt mh hopefully next week and have all the clones under it. I think I am getting something like 8 clones or so. I will be vegging until they are big enough to put in with these but I will leave at least one or two seedlings in the grow room and see what 1//12 from 2 weeks veg gets me consider it an experiment.

So I was looking at the 600 watt and it seemed really orange the 400 watt looked a lot brighter so I asked my buddy he told me the bulb had probably been used for a little under a year so I took it out and pulled in the other 400 watt hps and dimmed it to 400 watts and it is 5x brighter. The only bad part is the room temp is at 80 degrees I've heard that 85 is the most that plants can handle is that true?
